Tetrahydroharmine (THH) is a fluorescent indole alkaloid that occurs in the tropical liana species Banisteriopsis caapi.[1] THH weakly inhibits serotonin reuptake.[2]
Two other harmala alkaloids in B. caapi, harmaline and harmine, are reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase A. Tetrahydroharmine, however, does not inhibit monoamine oxidase B.
