Quantitative analysis of total alkaloids by titration and Hyoscyamine by HPLC in indigenous Datur species inNorth of Iran [PDF]
Background and purpose :.There are ten identified species of Datura in the world. Datura stramonium L. (Torn apple or Jimsonweed) and D.innoxia Mill. (Hindudatura) are endemic species of Datura in Iran, especially in the North (Caspian Sea region).

Application of Metabolic Engineering to the Production of Scopolamine
Scopolamine is an alkaloid widely used in medicine for its anticholinergic activity. The aim of this review is to show that metabolic engineering techniques constitute a suitable tool to improve the production of tropane alkaloids, focusing in particular

Natural selection on plant resistance to herbivores in the native and introduced range [PDF]
. When plants are introduced into new regions, the absence of their co-evolved natural enemies can result in lower levels of attack. As a consequence of this reduction in enemy pressure, plant performance may increase and selection for resistance to ...

Exploring the Phytochemical Landscape of the Early-Diverging Flowering Plant Amborella trichopoda Baill. [PDF]
Although the evolutionary significance of the early-diverging flowering plant Amborella (Amborella trichopoda Baill.) is widely recognized, its metabolic landscape, particularly specialized metabolites, is currently underexplored.

Tropane Alkaloids from Latua pubiflora
Abstract Four known tropane alkaloids were isolated from the leaves of the endemic Chilean plant Latua pubiflora (Solanaceae). For the first time; 3α-cinnamoyloxitropane and apoatropine are reported in this plant. Scopolamine and hyoscyamine were previously reported.

2,3‐Dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐1,4‐benzoquinone serves as a versatile oxidant and redox catalyst for CC bond formation through hydride abstraction or single‐electron transfer. Stoichiometric and catalytic systems enable benzylic, allylic, and aromatic CH activation under mild, metal‐free conditions, providing sustainable routes to complex and bioactive ...

Emerging Issues on Tropane Alkaloid Contamination of Food in Europe
The occurrence of tropane alkaloids (TAs), toxic plant metabolites, in food in Europe was studied to identify those TAs in food most relevant for human health. Information was extracted from the literature and the 2016 study from the European Food Safety

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.
