Harmine and harmaline hydrochloride crystals

Harmala alkaloids extracted from Peganum harmala (syrian rue) seeds, further purified by crystallization from brine.
These alkaloids are MAO inhibitors.
I further separate harmine and harmaline (DHH, dihydroharmine), the latter is further reduced to tetrahydroharmine (THH, leptaflorine) which is a weak SSRI with interesting benefits for central nervous system (could promote neuroplasticity).


I love that an extract from a plant called "rue" can be made into a weak SSRI. Funny. ;) Though from what I understand, plants usually get "rue" in their common name because they cause hayfever, not because they make people sad. Two different meanings of "rue," I guess.

Is it really blue? It looks white to me. Can you put it near a white background to make a contrast?

Playing with EDTA. Many complexes only seem to exist in solution. The copper-sodium complex retains its deep blue colour when the liquor evaporated, forming a glassy substance.

The lithium salt of the copper complex has the same deep blue colour in solution, but crystalises in a cyan-like variant of blue in tiny dull crystals.

The potassium salt of course has the same colour in solution, but separated into two phases on evaporation of the solution. A dark blue one, and one with the same colour as the lithium salt.

Mercury Cyanide is a very very low dissociation salt. It's used for example to detect Palladium, because Palladium Cyanide has an even less dissociation constant and its insoluble.

Wiki
The use of mercuric cyanide as an antiseptic was discontinued due to its toxicity. Hg(CN)2 is also used in photography. It is still used in homeopathy under the Latin name Hydrargyrum bicyanatum.
