Mechanism of interaction of vinca alkaloids with tubulin: catharanthine and vindoline

The interactions of the vinca alkaloid drugs catharanthine and vindoline with tubulin have been investigated and compared with those of vinblastine and vincristine. Both drugs were found to be less effective in bringing about the inhibition of tubulin self-assembly into microtubules than vincristine and vinblastine, the drug to protein molar ratio required being 3 orders of magnitude greater. An analytical ultracentrifuge study has shown that catharanthine can induce the self-association of tubulin into linear indefinite polymers with an efficacy that is 75% that of vinblastine or vincristine, the intrinsic dimerization constant for the liganded protein being K2 congruent to 1 x 10(5) M-1. The effect of vindoline was marginally detectable. Binding studies of catharanthine using the gel batch and fluorescence perturbation techniques showed a polymerization-linked binding of one catharanthine molecule per tubulin alpha-beta dimer with a binding constant of (2.8 +/- 0.4) x 10(3) M-1. For vindoline, binding to tubulin was marginally detectable by fluorescence spectroscopy, although addition of vindoline to tubulin did generate a difference spectrum. It was concluded that the binding of vinblastine/vincristine to tubulin and its consequences are determined by the interaction of the indole part of catharanthine with tubulin, the role of vindoline being that of an anchor.

Extraction of indole alkaloids fromCatharanthus roseus by using supercritical carbon dioxide

Summary Indole alkaloids, particularly vindoline and catharanthine, were extracted from the leaves ofCatharanthus roseus by supercritical extraction with CO₂. The contents of vindoline and catharanthine in the extracts were determined by HPLC and identified by LC/MS. About 52 %(w/w) of the initial vindoline content, 1.5 mg vindoline/g dry wt leaves, was recovered after extracting this material for 10 h with the CO₂ flow rate of 400 ml/min at 40°C and 150 bar. Vindoline concentration in the extract was 67 %(w/w).     

Effect of plant growth regulators on the biosynthesis of vinblastine,vindoline and catharanthine in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Catharanthus roseus</Emphasis>

Catharanthuse roseus is a well-known medicinal plant for its two valuable anticancer compounds: vinblastine and vincristine, which belongs to terpenoid indole alkaloids. Great efforts have been made to study the principles of its secondary metabolic pathways to regulate the alkaloids biosynthesis. In this article, different plant growth regulators were shortly applied to Catharanthus roseus plants during the blooming period to study their effects on the biosynthesis of vinblastine, vindoline and catharanthine. Salicylic acid and ethylene (ethephon) treatments resulted in a significant increase of vinblastine, vindoline and catharanthine while abscisic acid and gibberellic acid had a strongly negative influence on the accumulation of the three important alkaloids. Methyl jasmonate showed no great effect on the production of these valuable alkaloids. Chlormequat chloride highly enhanced the accumulation of vinblastine but greatly decreased the contents of vindoline and catharanthine.     

Biomimetic one-pot synthesis of vinblastine: NAD(P)H-mediated vinblastine synthesis from the product of FMN-mediated vindoline–catharanthine coupling under near-ultraviolet light

Vinblastine (VLB) is an antineoplastic agent contained in leaves of Catharanthus roseus. One-pot synthesis of VLB from vindoline and catharanthine, biosynthetic precursors in the plant, was achieved under biomimetic conditions. FMN-mediated coupling of vindoline and catharanthine under irradiation with near-ultraviolet light was followed by NAD(P)H-mediated direct conversion of the coupling product to VLB in the dark. The yield of VLB was governed by the level of NAD(P)H added, and the highest yield was obtained by incubation with 10 mM NAD(P)H for 5 h. It is postulated, as one concept of VLB biosynthesis, that similar non-enzymic VLB synthesis may occur in the plant leaves.     

Localization of tabersonine 16-hydroxylase and 16-OH tabersonine-16-O-methyltransferase to leaf epidermal cells defines them as a major site of precursor biosynthesis in the vindoline pathway in Catharanthus roseus

The Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) produces the well known and remarkably complex anticancer dimeric alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine, which are derived by the coupling of vindoline and catharanthine monomers. Recent data from in situ RNA hybridization and immunolocalization suggest that combinatorial cell factories within the leaf are involved in vindoline biosynthesis. In this study, the cell types responsible for vindoline biosynthesis were identified by laser-capture microdissection/RNA isolation/RT-PCR to show that geraniol hydroxylase, secologanin synthase, tryptophan decarboxylase, strictosidine synthase, strictosidine ss-glucosidase and tabersonine 16-hydroxylase can be detected preferentially in epidermal cells. A new and complementary application of the carborundum abrasion (CA) technique was developed to obtain epidermis-enriched leaf extracts that can be used to measure alkaloid metabolite levels, enzyme activities and gene expression. The CA technique showed that tabersonine and 16-methoxytabersonine, together with 16-hydroxytabersonine-16-O-methyltransferase, are found predominantly in Catharanthus leaf epidermis, in contrast to vindoline, catharanthine and later enzymatic steps in vindoline biosynthesis. The results show that leaf epidermal cells are biosynthetically competent to produce tryptamine and secologanin precursors that are converted via many enzymatic transformations to make 16-methoxytabersonine. This alkaloid or its 2,3 dihydro-derivative is then transported to cells (mesophyll/idioblast/laticifer) within Catharanthus leaves to complete the last three or four enzymatic transformations to make vindoline.     

Production of indole alkaloids by selected hairy root lines of Catharanthus roseus

Hairy root cultures of Catharanthus roseus were established by infection of seedlings with Agrobacterium rhizogenes 15834. Approximately 150 transformants from four different. C. roseus cultivars were screened for desirable traits in growth and indole alkaloid production. Five hairy root clones grew well in liquid culture with doubling times similar to those reported for cell suspensions. Fast growing clones had similar morphologies, characterized by thin, straight, and regular branches with thin tips. The levels of key alkaloids, ajmalicine, serpentine, and catharanthine, in these five clones, also compared well with literature data from cell suspensions, yet HPLC and GC-MS data indicate the presence of vindoline in two clones at levels over three orders of magnitude greater than the minute amounts reported in cell culture. These results suggest that further optimization may result in hairy roots as a potential source of vindoline and catharanthine, the two monomers necessary to synthesize that antineoplastic drug, vinblastine.
