Stereochemical insights into sarpagan and akuammiline alkaloid biosynthesis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 3, Page 1335-1351, August 2025.
Summary Sarpagan and akuammiline monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) are a class of bioactive plant‐derived compounds with significant pharmaceutical potential. These alkaloids are formed through oxidative cyclization of geissoschizine, catalyzed by homologous cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP) known as sarpagan bridge enzymes (SBEs) and rhazimal ...

Novel Biocatalysts from Specialized Metabolism

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 136, Issue 4, January 22, 2024.
Enzymes are increasingly valuable as biocatalysts in synthetic chemistry. Many novel biocatalysts have emerged from the study of secondary metabolism, where rare and unusual reactions take place. In this review, we explore biocatalysts that address various synthetic challenges, including cyclization, C−H functionalization, and cross‐coupling, among ...

Exploring the Mechanism of Action and Potential Targets of Saorilao‐4 Decoction in the Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis in Rats by Metabolomics

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2025.
Saorilao‐4 decoction (SRL), a Mongolian prescription, has shown therapeutic effects on pulmonary fibrosis (PF) in a rat model. Seventy‐one metabolic components, including sphingolipids and fatty acids, were identified in relation to PF progression. SRL influenced 59 metabolic components, particularly improving the metabolism of hexadecanoic acid and ...
