Two serotonin derivatives, N,N-dimethylserotonin 5-O-β-glucoside (1a) and N-methylserotonin 5-O-β-glucoside (1b) were isolated from immature seeds of Zanthoxylum piperitum. Their structures were determined by multi-step conversion reactions and spectroscopic analyses. Immature seeds of Z. piperitum contained extremely high levels of compounds 1a and 1b of approximately 0.29% and 0.15% (w/w), respectively.
从花椒未成熟种子中分离出两种血清素衍生物，N,N - 二甲基血清素5 - O - β - 葡萄糖苷（1a）和N - 甲基血清素5 - O - β - 葡萄糖苷（1b）。通过多步转化反应和光谱分析确定了它们的结构。花椒未成熟种子中化合物1a和1b的含量极高，分别约为0.29%和0.15%（w/w）。
