- Abstract
The article presents a study on the isolation of two serotonin derivatives, N,N-dimethylserotonin 5-0-β-glucoside (1a) and n-methylserotonin 5-0-β-glucoside (1b) from the immature seeds of Zanthoxylum piperitum or Japanese pepper. The study employs multi-step conversion reactions and spectroscopic analyses to determine the structures of two serotonins. It suggests that the immature seeds of Z. piperitum contain high levels of 1a at approximately 0.29% and 1b by 0.15%.
