1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) and 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (2-Me-TQ) were identified for the first time by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the parkinsonian and normal human brains. TIQ, an analogue of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), was markedly increased in the parkinsonian brain and could be an endogenous neurotoxin to induce 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1,2,3,4-四氢异喹啉(TIQ)和2-甲基-1,2,3,4-四氢喹啉(2-Me-TQ)。TIQ是1-甲基-4-苯基-1,2,3,6-四氢吡啶(MPTP)的类似物,在帕金森病患者脑中显著增加,可能是一种诱发帕金森病的内源性神经毒素。
