The seco-iridoid pathway from Catharanthus roseus
The (seco)iridoids and their derivatives, the monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), form two large families of plant-derived bioactive compounds with a wide spectrum of high-value pharmacological and insect-repellent activities. Vinblastine and vincristine, MIAs used as anticancer drugs, are produced by Catharanthus roseus in extremely low levels, leading to high market prices and poor availab...
متن کاملCorrigendum: The seco-iridoid pathway from Catharanthus roseus
While this Article was undergoing peer review, Salim et al. (2013), Asada et al. (2013) and Salim et al. (2014) published individual steps of the (seco)iridoid biosynthesis pathway in Catharanthus roseus, including the molecular and biochemical characterization of 7-deoxyloganic acid hydroxylase, 7-deoxyloganetic acid glucosyl transferase and 7-deoxyloganetic acid synthase, which are in agreeme...
متن کاملCharacterization of 10-Hydroxygeraniol Dehydrogenase from Catharanthus roseus Reveals Cascaded Enzymatic Activity in Iridoid Biosynthesis
Catharanthus roseus [L.] is a major source of the monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs), which are of significant interest due to their therapeutic value. These molecules are formed through an intermediate, cis-trans-nepetalactol, a cyclized product of 10-oxogeranial. One of the key enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of MIAs is an NAD(P)(+) dependent oxidoreductase system, 10-hydroxygeraniol de...
متن کاملThe bHLH transcription factor BIS1 controls the iridoid branch of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloid pathway in Catharanthus roseus.
Plants make specialized bioactive metabolites to defend themselves against attackers. The conserved control mechanisms are based on transcriptional activation of the respective plant species-specific biosynthetic pathways by the phytohormone jasmonate. Knowledge of the transcription factors involved, particularly in terpenoid biosynthesis, remains fragmentary. By transcriptome analysis and func...
متن کاملCrystal structure of akuammicine, an indole alkaloid from Catharanthus roseus
The title compound, C20H22N2O2, an alkaloid isolated from the Madagascar periwinkle, crystallizes in P1 with two independent but closely similar mol-ecules in the unit cell. The mol-ecules are linked into pairs by two N-H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration was confirmed by anomalous dispersion effects as S at the 3 and 15 positions, and R at the 7 position.
