Popis: A facile and efficient synthesis of tetrahydro-β-carbolines (tryptolines) in one step from tryptamine and aldehydes, in an environmentally friendly water solvent, has been investigated. This convenient and clean synthesis of various tryptolines was facilitated by l-tartaric acid, a natural compound, to obtain the desired products as clear crystals. Among the four crystalline products, the most substituted tryptoline 2 showed the best inhibitory activity against EJ cells and the least cytotoxicity, with an LC50 value of 1.49 mg/mL, against brine shrimp larvae.
