In the title compound, C15H14N2O3·H2O [systematic name: 3-(7-methoxy-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)propanoic acid monohydrate], the fused rings make dhedral angles of 0.4 (1), 1.1 (2) and 1.4 (2)°. In the crystal, the water molecule is involved in the formation of three independent hydrogen-bonded chains via O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, while the carboxy group forms an intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond.

The title compound was prepared according to the procedure of Kardono et al., 1991.Crystals suitable for data collection were obtained by slow evaporation from methanol solution at 283 K over a period of two weeks.
Water H atoms were initially located in a difference Fourier map,and all other H atoms were constrained to an ideal geometry with C—H distances of 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)for CH; 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (C)for CH2; 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C)for CH3; and 0.82 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C)for OH atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound, (I), was isolated from the roots of Eurycoma longifolia. It is prepared according to the procedure of Kardono et al. (Kardono et al., 1991) and recrystallized from methanol.
Bond lengths and angles are in agreement with reported literature values (Allen et al., 1987). The rings (A, B and C) are each essentially planar with r.m.s deviations of 0.0018 (5) Å, 0.0027 (8)Å and 0.0052 (16) Å, respectively. The dihedral angles between the rings are A/B =1.1 (2)°, A/C = 0.4 (1)° and B/C=1.4 (2)°. The lattice water molecule is involved in formation of three independent hydrogen-bonded chains via O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds while the carboxy group forms an intermolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond (Fig.2 and Table 1). The lattice water molecules could be considered to be a hydrogen-bond bridge which provide further stability to the crystal lattice.
