9-Me-BC 9-Me

A plant-derived compound studied in mice for protecting and regrowing the brain cells that make dopamine. The animal research looks promising for mood and mental sharpness, but no human studies have tested it, and chemicals in this family can overstimulate the brain at higher amounts.

Also known as 9-methyl-BC, 9-methyl-9h-pyrido[3,4-b]indole, 9-methyl-beta-carboline, 9-Methyl-9H-pyrido(3,4-b)indole, RefChem:914779, 9H-Pyrido[3,4-b]indole, 9-methyl-, 9-methyl-|A-carboline, 9-methylpyrido[3,4-b]indole, 9-methyl-9h-beta-carboline
