The incorporation of tryptamine, dopamine, N-deacetylisoipecoside, N-deacetylipecoside into alangimarckine, deoxytubulosine and ankorine and of strictosidine and vincoside into alangimarckine and deoxytubulosine in young Alangium lamarckii Thw. (Alangiaceae) has been studied and specific utilisation of N-deacetylisoipecoside demonstrated. Parallel experiments with nordeoxytubulosine and deoxytubulosine suggested that O-methylation precedes condensation of protoemetine with tryptamine and further the reduction of ethylene side chain takes place before condensation. Hydroxylation at C-8 in the trans-quinolizidine moiety is the terminal step in the biosynthesis of alangimarckine. 相似文献

This paper deals with the synthesis of a stable biotin–phosmidosine conjugate molecule 3 that is required for isolation of biomolecules that bind to phosmidosine (1). It was found that introduction of a biotin residue into the 6-N position of phosmidosine could be carried out by reaction of an N7-Boc-7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenosine derivative 13 with phenyl chloroformate followed by displacement with a diamine derivative 6 along with the simultaneous removal of the Boc group and one of the two phenoxycarbonyl groups and the successive condensation with an N-tritylated biotin derivative 5. The condensation of an N-prolylphosphorodiamidite derivative 4 with an appropriately protected 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenosine derivative 17 having the biotin residue gave the coupling product 18, which was deprotected to give the biotin–phosmidosine (O-ethyl ester) conjugate 3. 相似文献

The lipase catalysed acylation of hydroxylamine-and hydrazine as well as their derivatives by octanoic acid is very efficient. Cross-linked crystals of Candida rugosa lipase (ChiroCLEC-CR) mediated the conversion of racemic ibuprofen into (S)-ibuproxam. A number of lipases also catalysed the condensation of hydrazine with an excess of octanoic acid giving N,N′-dioctanoylhydrazine. The hydrazide of 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propanoic acid (ibuprofen), prepared by non-enzymatic reaction of ibuprofen methyl ester with hydrazine, acted as nucleophile towards several lipases that do not accept ibuprofen derivatives as acyl donor. 相似文献

The transgenic S1 cell line of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don has been used to study possible rate limiting steps in the terpenoid indole alkaloid (TIA) biosynthesis. Line S1 carries a recombinant, over-expressed version of the endogenous Str gene which encodes strictosidine synthase (STR; EC 4.3.3.2). STR catalyzes the stereospecific condensation of tryptamine and secologanin to strictosidine. Various concentrations and combinations of biosynthetic indole precursors L-tryptophan, tryptamine, and iridoid precursors loganin and secologanin were added to the cell suspension cultures of line S1. The largest TIA accumulation occurred when the precursor was supplied at the time of inoculation of the cells into the production medium. Line S1 could supply tryptamine endogenously up to 0.8 mM loganin feeding. The enhancement of the accumulation of TIAs by addition of loganin indicates a limitation in the terpenoid pathway. Supplying tryptamine or tryptophan along with the iridoid precursors resulted in even further increase of alkaloid accumulation. Under optimal conditions, cultures of line S1 accumulated about 600 mol l–1 of TIAs. Also, the conversion of strictosidine into other TIAs further down the pathway seems to be a limiting step. Considering the mass balance of the intermediates fed and TIAs recovered, several yet unknown pathways must be involved in channeling away intermediates from the TIA pathway and in the breakdown of the TIAs. Our results suggest that high rates of tryptamine synthesis can still take place under conditions of low TDC activity and the flux towards tryptamine is induced by loganin feeding. However, accumulation of tryptamine seems to reduce the flux through feedback inhibition. 相似文献

A novel one-pot three-component condensation reaction of an aldehyde, β-ketoester and 2-aminobenzimidazole or 2-aminobenzothiazole in 1,1,3,3-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylguanidinium trifluoroacetate as an ionic liquid is described. During the course of this reaction 4H-pyrimido[2,1-b]benzimidazoles or 4H-pyrimido[2,1-b]benzothiazoles are formed in high yields at 100 °C. The ionic liquid can be recovered conveniently and reused efficiently. 相似文献

Degradation of tryptamine in pig brain: identification of a new condensation product 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Incubation of tryptamine with pig brain homogenate led to the formation of a product which is not identical with other known tryptamine metabolites. The same results were observed with rat brain tissue and bovine brain tissue. The compound has been isolated and identified by NMR spectroscopy, fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy, and by chemical synthesis as a thiazolidine derivative, (4R)-2-(3-indolylmethyl)-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid. It is formed by a condensation reaction of indole-3-acetaldehyde generated enzymatically from tryptamine and of free L-cysteine present in the tissue. The compound inhibited monoamine oxidase (preferentially type A) and the neuronal gamma-aminobutyric acid uptake. 相似文献

Long-chain N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) elicit a variety of biological and pharmacological effects, Anandamide (20:4n-6 NAE) and other polyunsaturated NAEs bind to the cannabinoid receptor and may thus serve as highly specific lipid mediators of cell signalling. NAEs can be formed by phospholipase D-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-acylethanolamine phospholipids or by direct condensation of ethanolamine and fatty acid, So far, most of the latter biosynthetic activity has been shown to be the reverse reaction of the NAE amidohydrolase that catalyzes NAE degradation. Thus, increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that the N-acylation-phosphodiesterase pathway yields not only saturated-monounsaturated NAEs, but polyunsaturated ones, including anandamide, as well. 相似文献

Strictosidine synthetase, which catalyzes the condensation of tryptamine with secologanin to form strictosidine (isovincoside), was purified 740-fold to homogeneity from cultured cells of Catharanthus roseus in 10% yield. The specific activity is 5.85 nkat/mg. The molecular weight as estimated by gel filtration is 38,000. The isoelectric point is 4.6. Apparent Km values for tryptamine and secologanin are 0.83 and 0.46 mM, respectively. The enzyme shows a broad pH optimum between 5.0 and 7.5. The product of the enzymic reaction is exclusively strictosidine, while no trace of its epimer vincoside can be detected. Sulfhydryl inhibitors have no effect on the enzyme. End products in the biosynthetic pathway of indole alkaloids such as ajmalicine, vindoline, and catharanthine do not inhibit the activity of strictosidine synthetase. 相似文献

N-Nitrosomorpholine is converted into N-nitroso-2-hydroxymorpholine by rat liver microsomes and by the Fenton oxidation system. The hydroxy derivative was also synthesised by the oxidation of N-nitrosomorpholine with permanganate and characterized as the methoxime and the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone. The Fenton system also afforded products believed to be N-nitroso-2-morpholone, and the 2-hydroperoxy- and 2-peroxy-derivatives ofN-nitrosomorpholine. The only urinary metabolite definitely identified was N-itrosodiethanolamine.
The significance of metabolic 2-hydroxylation in relation to the carcinogenic action of N-nitrosomorpholine is discussed. 相似文献

—In rat brain extract tryptamine is converted to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (THβJC) and N-methyltryptamine to 2-methyl-THβC in the presence of 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid. We believe this occurs through enzymatic conversion of 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid to formaldehyde and tetrahydrofolic acid, followed by spontaneous condensation of the radioactive formaldehyde with the substrate tryptamine (Donaldson & Keresztesy , 1961). The final products of the reactions have been identified by both thin layer chromatography and mass spectrophotometry. Subcellular fractionation shows more than 90 per cent of the formaldehyde-forming enzyme activity to be in the cytosol. Specific activities in fractions from 16 discrete regions of the brain and CNS range from 210·2 ± pmol of THβC/mg protein/h in corpus striatum to 62·9 ± 3·6 pmol of THβC/mg protein/h in corpus callosum. 相似文献

Topsoil microorganisms were screened for their acceptability of the standard substrate N,N-dimethylaniline in bacterial ‘whole-cell’ incubations. One bacterium converted N,N-dimethylaniline and was identified as Bacillus megaterium by 16S rDNA analysis and DNA/DNA-hybridization. In contrast to the well-known C-hydroxylation by liver microsomes, leading to p-hydroxylation, B. megaterium formed o- and p-monohydroxylated products, i.e. N,N-dimethyl-2-aminophenol and N,N-dimethyl-4-aminophenol, both identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) using synthesized reference compounds. The observed hydroxylation showed slight regioselectivity in favour of the o-hydroxylated product. Two further substrates, N,N-diethylaniline and N-ethyl-N-methylaniline, were also successfully biohydroxylated by B. megaterium with corresponding regioselectivity. Interestingly, aniline, known to be transformed easily by cytochrome P-450meg into p-aminophenol, was not accepted as substrate. 相似文献

Mammalian brain has a β-carboline 2N-methyltransferase activity that converts β-carbolines, such as norharman and harman, into 2N-methylated β-carbolinium cations, which are structural and functional analogs of the Parkinsonian-inducing toxin 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium cation (MPP+). The identity and physiological function of this β-carboline 2N-methylation activity was previously unknown. We report pharmacological and biochemical evidence that phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.28) has β-carboline 2N-methyltransferase activity. Specifically, purified phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) catalyzes the 2N-methylation (21.1 pmol/h per unit PNMT) of 9-methylnorharman, but not the 9N-methylation of 2-methylnorharmanium cation. LY134046, a selective inhibitor of phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, inhibits (IC50 1.9 μM) the 2N-methylation of 9-methylnorharman, a substrate for β-carboline 2N-methyltransferase. Substrates of phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase also inhibit β-carboline 2N-methyltransferase activity in a concentration-dependent manner. β-Carboline 2N-methyltransferase activity (43.7 pmol/h/mg protein) is present in human adrenal medulla, a tissue with high phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase activity.
We are investigating the potential role of N-methylated β-carbolinium cations in the pathogenesis of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. Presuming that phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase activity forms toxic 2N-methylated β-carbolinium cations, we propose a novel hypothesis regarding Parkinson’s disease—a hypothesis that includes a role for phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase-catalyzed formation of MPP+-like 2N-methylated β-carbolinium cations. 相似文献

Strictosidine is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of the terpenoid indole alkaloid (T1A) pathway. It results from a
condensation reaction, catalyzed by strictosidine synthase (STR), between tryptamine and secologanin. We have now developed
a useful method, based on enzyme-assisted synthesis, to produce strictosidine. Our procedure utilizes leaf extracts from Japanese
honeysuckleLonicera japonica Thunb. as a secologanin source. In these experiments, an enzyme extract was prepared from transgenic yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae that expresses theCatharanthus roseus STR (CrSTR) coding region. Strictosidine was then isolated with a 38% yield based on the initial amount of tryptamine in the
enzymatic reaction. 相似文献

—The tryptamine content of rat and mouse brain and spinal cord was determined with a radiochemical derivative assay, using [3H]dansyl chloride. The amine was extracted into toluene-isoamyl alcohol, back-extracted into dilute acid, then adsorbed onto a non-ionic polystyrene resin, and dansylated in tetrahydrofuran after elution from the resin. Optimum recoveries were obtained with TCA extracts, although significant losses occurred due to surface adsorption and protein binding. The brain content of tryptamine increased after MAO inhibition and was not significantly further increased when tryptophan loading was combined with inhibition of MAO and/or tryptophan 5-hydroxylase. The tryptamine concentration of spinal cord exceeded that of brain and increased rapidly after death. Among brain regions tryptamine concentrations were greatest in hypothalamus and striatum and lowest in cerebral cortex and cerebellum. 相似文献

Human urine samples were examined for the occurrence of formaldehyde-derived tetrahydroisoquinolines and tetrahydro-β-carbolines generated by condensation of the methanol oxidation product with biogenic amines. Positive results were obtained for the tryptamine condensation product 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline and the serotonine condensation product 6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline as well as for the condensation products with tyramine, dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, 6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, N-methyl-4,6,7-trihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, 4,6,7-trihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, and the metabolite 6-methoxy-7-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline. Negative results were obtained for N-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and 6,7-di-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, N-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline, 6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline, and 6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline in samples of chronic alcoholics as well as in the urine of healthy volunteers. No correlation between alcohol ingestion or state of alcoholization could be demonstrated. 相似文献

EFFECTS OF LESIONS AND DRUGS ON BRAIN TRYPTAMINE 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Abstract— The effects of various drugs and lesions on rat brain 5-hydroxytryptamine and tryptamine were determined. Monoamine oxidase inhibition caused a proportionately greater increase in tryptamine than in 5-hydroxytryptamine, reserpine depleted 5-hydroxytryptamine but had no effect on tryptamine while p -chlorophenylalanine lowered 5-hydroxytryptamine but increased tryptamine. α-Methyl- p -tyrosine reduced striatal dopamine with no effect on either 5-hydroxytryptamine or tryptamine. Increasing brain tryptophan by amphetamine administration. 24 h food deprivation or giving L-tryptophan did not increase brain tryptamine. However a high dose of L -tryptophan (100 or 200mg/kg) together with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor caused a proportionately much greater increase in tryptamine than in 5-hydroxytryptamine. Raphe lesions reduced 5-hydroxytryptamine by 64 per cent and tryptamine by only 29 per cent while intraventricular 6-hydroxydopamine lowered striatal dopamine (56 per cent), had no effect on 5-hydroxytryptamine but reduced tryptamine by 24 per cent, suggesting that tryptamine can be formed in both 5-HT and catecholaminergic neurones.

The mouse striatum contains about 2 ng/g of tryptamine and 600 ng/g of 5-hydroxytryptamine. No significant changes in mouse striatal tryptamine were observed after the administration of chlorpromazine, haloperidol, spiperone, or alpha-flupenthixol. The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine were moderately reduced by chlorpromazine, spiperone, and alpha-flupenthixol but not by haloperidol. The administration of antipsychotic drugs to mice pretreated with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (pargyline) produced an increase in the rate of accumulation of striatal tryptamine compared with that of pargyline-treated mice. In contrast, the rate of accumulation of 5-hydroxytryptamine after monoamine oxidase inhibition was reduced by chlorpromazine, spiperone, and alpha-flupenthixol but not haloperidol. D-Amphetamine administration did not change either tryptamine or its 5-hydroxyderivative while reserpine increased tryptamine and reduced 5-hydroxytryptamine. The results suggest that changes in striatal tryptamine may be controlled by the availability of tryptophan, the amino acid precursor of tryptamine. 相似文献

The interaction between Ac-AMP2, a lectin-like small protein with antimicrobial and antifungal activity isolated from Amaranthus caudatus, and N,N′,N″-triacetyl chitotriose was studied using 1H NMR spectroscopy. Changes in chemical shift and line width upon increasing concentration of N,N′,N″-triacetyl chitotriose to Ac-AMP2 solutions at pH 6.9 and 2.4 were used to determine the interaction site and the association constant Ka. The most pronounced shifts occur mainly in the C-terminal half of the sequence. They involve the aromatic residues Phe18, Tyr20 and Tyr27 together with their surrounding residues, as well as the N-terminal Val-Gly-Glu segment. Several NOEs between Ac-AMP2 and the N,N′,N″-triacetyl chitotriose resonances are reported. 相似文献

The Pictet-Spengler reaction was applied to the N-terminal labeling of horse heart myoglobin. This was performed in the following two steps: (1) conversion of the N-terminal glycine residue to an alpha-keto aldehyde by a transamination reaction and (2) condensation of the resulting activated myoglobin with tryptamine analogues by the Pictet-Spengler reaction. Ultraviolet (UV)/visible (vis) absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectral data revealed that the tertiary structure of myoglobin was not altered by the Pictet-Spengler reaction. 相似文献
