The picture used in this article for the structure of this chemical is wrong
editHello! I came here to say that the picture for harmalol's structural formula does not correspond with it's real structure. The structure in the picture actually corresponds with harmalol's empirical formula, because instead of a ketone (=O) and a secondary amine (NH), there should be an alcohol (-OH) and a tertiary amine (=N:). (And the double bonds would consequently be shifted left) Apparently,I cannot upload the screenshot I took of SciFinder's Harmalol page, but just seacrh for it's code on scifinder and you'll see: 525-57-5. I'm sorry, but I didn't know exactlt whero to post this so that someone would see it and fix it.

You cloud check citation No. 34 of the syrian rue article. "Herraiz T, González D, Ancín-Azpilicueta C, Arán VJ, Guillén H (March 2010). "beta-Carboline alkaloids in Peganum harmala and inhibition of human monoamine oxidase (MAO)". Food Chem. Toxicol. 48 (3): 839–45. doi:10.1016/j.fct.2009.12.019. PMID 20036304."
- The tautomer you refer to does seem to be the predominant one. Therefore, I have updated the image and some of the other information in the infobox to match. Thanks for noticing the issue and reporting it here. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:01, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
