CrBPF1 overexpression alters transcript levels of terpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthetic and regulatory genes [PDF]
Terpenoid indole alkaloid (TIA) biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus is a complex and highly regulated process. Understanding the biochemistry and regulation of the TIA pathway is of particular interest as it may allow the engineering of plants to ...

Biosynthesis and regulation of terpenoid indole alkaloids in Catharanthus roseus.
Catharanthus roseus produces a wide range of terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIA). Many of them, such as vinblastine and vincristine, have significant bioactivity. They are valuable chemotherapy drugs used in combination with other drugs to treat lymphoma and leukemia.

Catharanthus terpenoid indole alkaloids: biosynthesis and regulation [PDF]
Catharanthus roseus is still the only source for the powerful antitumour drugs vinblastine and vincristine. Some other pharmaceutical compounds from this plant, ajmalicine and serpentine are also of economical importance. Although C. roseus has been studied extensively and was subject of numerous publications, a full characterization of its alkaloid ...
