Ethyl β-carboline-3-carboxylate or beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, an endogenous compound that was isolated from human urine. It is a partial inverse agonist at the benzodiazepine site on the GABA-A receptor. Experiments on rats have shown that ethyl β-carboline-3-carboxylate produces the anxiogenic-like effect but do not affect brainstem activated hippocampal theta.
