Abstract

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.
