Beta-carboline alkaloids (β-carbolines) are a class of chemicals that include compounds with psychoactive effects. They are often combined with ayahuasca brews to prevent the breakdown of DMT in the digestive system by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase.
Chemistry
Beta-carboline alkaloids are based upon the molecule beta-Carboline. Beta-Carboline itself is made up of an indole ring attached to a pyridine ring.
Examples
Beta-carbolines are seen throughout organic chemistry and include psychoactive drugs.
