چکیده
. . .1 learnt that caapi was cultivated. . .and I went. . .to get specimens of the plant, and. . .to purchase a sufficient quantity of the stems to be sent to England for analysis. . .1 saw, not without surprise, that it belonged to the order Malpighiaceae and the genus Banisteria, of which I made it out to be an undescribed species. . .My surprise arose from the fact that there was no narcotic Malpighiad on record, nor indeed any species of that order with strong medicinal properties of any kind. Richard Spruce (1852)

De novo production of the plant-derived alkaloid strictosidine in yeast.
The monoterpene indole alkaloids are a large group of plant-derived specialized metabolites, many of which have valuable pharmaceutical or biological activity. There are ∼3,000 monoterpene indole alkaloids produced by thousands of plant species in numerous families. The diverse chemical structures found in this metabolite class originate from strictosidine, which is the last common biosynthetic...
متن کاملExtraction, Purification and Characterization of Indole Alkaloids from Strychnos wallichiana L. – an Endangered Medicinal Plant from India
Strychnos wallichiana (Loganiaceae) is a critically endangered medicinal plant, commonly used in several native medical practices. The majority of members of the Strychnos genus shares a similar chemical composition and contains common indole alkaloids. Purification of strychnine and brucine from a few species of Strychnos have already been reported; however, we have purified and quantified the...
متن کاملRigorous biogenetic network for a group of indole alkaloids derived from strictosidine.
Strictosidine, the precursor of more than 2,500 indole alkaloids, was isolated from four species of three plant families. By searching the Dictionary of Natural Products on DVD it was found that about 150 indole alkaloids were obtained from the same species (coalkaloids), which is a direct proof of their common origin. On the base of their three-dimensional structure, taxonomic properties and s...
