2-Methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and 1,2-dimethyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline were identified for the first time as novel endogenous amines in parkinsonian and normal human brains by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It is of interest that these tetrahydroisoquinolines are analogues of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) which produces Parkinson's disease.
通过气相色谱 - 质谱联用技术,首次在帕金森病患者和正常人脑中鉴定出2 - 甲基 - 6,7 - 二羟基 - 1,2,3,4 - 四氢异喹啉和1,2 - 二甲基 - 6,7 - 二羟基 - 1,2,3,4 - 四氢异喹啉为新型内源性胺类物质。有趣的是,这些四氢异喹啉是可引发帕金森病的1 - 甲基 - 4 - 苯基 - 1,2,3,6 - 四氢吡啶(MPTP)的类似物。
