The β‐carbolines flazin ( 1 ) and perlolyrine ( 2 , substance YS) occuring in Japanese sake and soy sauce were synthesized starting with the methyl ester of L‐tryptophan or tryptamine, respectively. The inhibition of the monoamine oxidases A and B by 1 and 2 were determined and compared with the inhibitory effects of harmine and harmaline.
