As one of studies on active principles of tar, antifungal constituents in charred egg yolk or in egg tar were examined. Four active principles, (I), (II), (III), and (IV), were isolated by a suitable combination of counter-current distribution and column chromatography.(I) mp 195°, C11H8N2, (II), mp 232°, C12H10N2, (III), mp 217° (picrate), C16H18N2 (m/e238), and (IV), mp 236-238° (picrate), C16H18N2 (m/e 238), were found to be identica1 with norharman, harman, 1-isopentyl-β-carboline, and 1-(1-methyl-butyl)-β-carboline, respectively.
