Harmol
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Harmol is an orally active β-carboline alkaloid. Harmol is a TFEB activator and monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Harmol can induce cell mitosis, Autophagy and Apoptosis. Harmol promotes the degradation of α-synuclein by regulating the autophagy-lysosomal pathway. Harmol has anti-tumor, anti-depressant and anti-aging activities. Harmol improves motor impairment in a mouse Parkinson's disease model.

In Vitro
Harmol (3-30 μM, 6-24 h) reduces α-syn levels in PC12 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner[1].
Harmol (30 μM, 24 h) promotes the nuclear translocation of exogenous TFEB (transcription factor EB) in HeLa cells and enhances the nuclear translocation of endogenous TFEB in N2a cells, along with a restoration of autophagic flux and lysosomal biogenesis[1].
Harmol (0-100 μM, 24 and 48 h) shows time- and dose-dependent inhibition of U251MG cell proliferation and induces cell death[2].
Harmol (0-100 μM, 0-48 h) inhibits the expression of survivin in U251MG cells and promotes the expression of LC3-I and LC3-II proteins, suppressing the Akt/mTOR pathway and inducing cell autophagy and apoptosis[2].
Harmol (0-100 μM, 0-24 h) exhibits slight cytotoxicity in A549 and H226 cells, but shows strong cytotoxicity in H596, inhibiting tumor proliferation[3].
Harmol (60 μM, 3-6 h) enhances the activity of caspase-3, caspase-6, caspase-8, and caspase-9, increases the cleavage of RAPA (an endogenous substrate for caspase-3), inducing apoptosis in H596 cells[3].
Harmol (1.3 μg/mL, 1-3 h) activates autophagy in C2C12 cells[4].
Harmol (1.3 μg/mL, 45-60 min) activates mitochondria-specific autophagy in C2C12 cells, occurring only in inactive TMRM-negative mitochondria[4].
Harmol (1.3 μg/mL, 16 h) upregulates the expression of markers for mitochondrial function in C2C12 cells[4].
Harmol (1.3 μg/mL, 0-20 h) has a specific inhibitory effect on MAO-B[4].
Harmol reduces GABAergic neurotransmission but does not completely inhibit the binding of GABA to GABAARs; GABAAR activity is crucial for Harmol-mediated mitochondrial depolarization and relies on mitochondrial function[4].

Result:Reduced the phosphorylation (p-) and total α-syn levels in PC12 cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner, showing pro-degradation activity between 6 and 24 hours.
Enhanced the LC3B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ ratio in PC12 cells, promoted TFEB expression, and increased AMPK phosphorylation at the THr172 site. It facilitated the nuclear translocation of exogenous TFEB in HeLa cells and the translocation of endogenous TFEB to the nucleus in N2a cells. This also increased the expression of the lysosomal marker LAMP1 (lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1) precursor and the mature form of CTSD (cathepsin D).
Showed in C2C12, the protein expression of the mitochondrial transcription and replication factor TFAM and components of complex III (UQCRC2) and complex V (ATP5a) was significantly elevated, along with an increase in polyamine spermidine levels, while DYRK1A phosphorylation remained unchanged.

In Vivo
Harmol (100 mg/kg, administered by gavage, once daily for three weeks) has a mild anxiety-reducing effect in mice[4].
Harmol (100 mg/kg, orally, for three months) improves insulin, glucose homeostasis, and metabolic adaptations in obese mice, with no impact on kidney function[4].
Harmol (15 μg/kg, orally, from day 0 to 50) extends the lifespan of invertebrates[4].
Harmol (100 mg/kg, orally, for two months) delays frailty in aging mice[4].

Result:Made mice climb the rod faster, spent more time on the spinning rod, travelled farther in open areas, increased their step frequency and standing posture, reduced posture width, stride, step length, swing, and showed recovery of autonomous movement behavior.
Reduced the expression of α-syn and p62 in the brain’s substantia nigra and prefrontal cortex.
Increased the phosphorylation levels of AMPK Thr172 and TFEB in the substantia nigra, while decreasing the phosphorylation level of mTOR Ser2448.Increased the expression of LC3B-II/LC3B-I, LAMP1, pro-CTSD, and mature ctsd in the substantia nigra, while reducing the expression of p62 and p-ULK1(Ser757)/ULK1.
-
Animal Model:Male mice[4]
-
Dosage:100 mg/kg, single dose; 100 mg/kg, daily, 3 weeks
-
Administration:i.g.
-
Result:Showed no change in blood glucose levels, with no change in fasting-mediated ketone body increase, and low permeability of the blood-brain barrier. High levels in the liver and plasma, but low levels in the brain. The mitochondrial autophagy marker PINK1 was elevated, while the phosphorylation levels of AMPK target ACC1 or the autophagy marker LC3-II/LC3-I were unaffected.
Showed no change in the time mice spent in the aversive area (center) versus the non-aversive area (border), with no differences in elevated plus maze tests, and significantly less time spent in the dark/light box.
Increased phosphorylation of ACC2 in the liver and BAT, and levels of the mitochondrial autophagy marker PINK1 were also significantly elevated in the liver, BAT, and soleus.
