Strictosidine synthase, an indispensable enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of terpenoid indole and β-carboline alkaloids

Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines, 2021
Terpenoid indole (TIAs) and β-carboline alkaloids (BCAs), such as suppressant reserpine, vasodilatory yohimbine, and antimalarial quinine, are natural compounds derived from strictosidine. These compounds can exert powerful pharmacological effects but be obtained from limited source in nature. the whole biosynthetic pathway of TIAs and BCAs, The Pictet-

Terpenoid indole alkaloid profile changes in Catharanthus pusillus during development

Plant Science, 2001
The terpenoid indole alkaloid content of Catharanthus pusillus was investigated during development from young to old plants. Different plant organs were assessed showing that the new leaves were the main repository site with vindoline ( approximately 4.8 mg/g DW) and catharanthine ( approximately 2.2 mg/g DW) being the major metabolites with the ...

Perspectives of the Metabolic Engineering of Terpenoid Indole Alkaloids in Catharanthus roseus Hairy Roots

Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology, 2013
This review looks back on how the terpenoid indole alkaloid pathway and the regulatory factors in Catharanthus roseus were identified and characterized, and how metabolic engineering, including genetic engineering and metabolic profiling, was conducted based on the gained knowledge.

Revisiting the ORCA gene cluster that regulates terpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus

Plant Science, 2020
Transcription factor (TF) gene clusters in plants, such as tomato, potato, petunia, tobacco, and almond, have been characterized for their roles in the biosynthesis of diverse array of specialized metabolites. In Catharanthus roseus, three AP2/ERF TFs, ORCA3, ORCA4, and ORCA5, have been shown to be present on the same genomic scaffold, forming a ...

Semi-syntheses and interrogation of indole-substituted Aspidosperma terpenoid alkaloids

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 2022
Aspidosperma terpenoid alkaloids can be quickly prepared using semisynthesis from naturally sourced tabersonine, featuring multiple oxygen-based substituents on the indole ring such as hydroxy and methoxy groups for cancer-targeted SAR studies.

Biosynthesis of the teleocidin-type terpenoid indole alkaloids

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 2018
Teleocidin B is a terpenoid indole alkaloid with unique structures including indolactam and cyclic terpenoid, and is a strong protein kinase C activator. In this review, we describe the isolation and biosynthetic studies of teleocidins.

Biosynthetic pathway of terpenoid indole alkaloids in Catharanthus roseus

Frontiers of Medicine, 2014
Catharanthus roseus is one of the most extensively investigated medicinal plants, which can produce more than 130 alkaloids, including the powerful antitumor drugs vinblastine and vincristine. Here we review the recent advances in the biosynthetic pathway of terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs) in C.

Why are the terpenoid indole alkaloids of type I homochiral?

Chirality, 2001
AbstractIn the presence of the enzyme strictosidine synthase, the coupling reaction of secologanin and tryptamine is completely stereoselective and affords strictosidine with 3S configuration, exclusively. The stereoselectivity is transferred and retained in most indole alkaloids of type I in which C‐3 is not involved in subsequent reactions.

Analysis of Several Iridoid and Indole Precursors of Terpenoid Indole Alkaloids with a Single HPLC Run

Planta Medica, 1996
An isocratic HPLC system is described which allows the separation of the iridoid and indole precursors of terpenoid indole alkaloids, which are present in a single crude extract. The system consists of a column of LiChrospher 60 RP select B 5 microm, 250 x 4 mm (Merck) with an eluent of 1% formic acid-acetonitrile-trichloroacetic acid (100:10:0.25, v:v:
