“…To date, natural bioactive molecules have become crucial resources for the discovery of new medicines and pesticides. − Among them, the molecular skeleton 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (THBC) is widely present in nature and displays broad-spectrum bioactivities, , thus representing an attractive option for drug development by researchers. For example, several highly effective drugs/pesticides derived from THBC have been developed successfully to treat plants and human diseases, such as reserpine, vincamine, , evodiamine, − yohimbine, rutaecarpine, tadalafil, and chloroinconazide. , Moreover, novel THBC derivatives decorated with the 1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol pattern were first reported by our group as antibacterial agents to manage plant bacterial diseases . However, systematic investigations based on promising THBC derivatives are necessary.…”
