The known metabolic pathway for hydrophenanthrene alkaloids in Papaver somniferum has been examined for occurrence in P. bracteatum, a species reported to contain thebaine but no codeine or morphine. 1,2-Dehydro-reticulinium-[3-14C] chloride and (±)-reticuline-[3-14C] were fed to P. bracteatum plants and both were incorporated, the former into reticuline and thebaine and the latter into thebaine, suggesting that thebaine biosynthesis is the same in the two species. Studies of the natural abundance of morphinan alkaloids in P. bracteatum and the results from feeding codeinone-[16-3H] and codeine-[16-3H] indicate that this species can reduce codeinone to codeine but can not perform either of the demethylations to produce codeinone or morphine. Fed thebaine-[16-3H] was substantially metabolized but not by pathways that involved demethylations to either oripavine or northebaine. 相似文献

A radioimmunoassay (RIA) procedure for the determination of pmol quantitites of morphine in capsule samples of Papaver somniferum was developed. An antiserum developed against a conjugate of morphine-3-hemisuccinate-BSA was relatively specific for morphine and possessed moderated cross-reactivity with codeine and mild cross-reactivity with thebaine, but none with narceine, papaverine, or noscapine. The standard curve was linear over a range of 0.01–0.20 ng. This assay allows for the rapid, sensitive and precise determination of morphine in unpurified aqueous extracts of capsule samples. The amounts of morphine in the aqueous extracts determined by radioimmunoassay were validated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The two methods show a high correlation coefficient (r = 0.98) with no significant difference in determinations of morphine content by RIA and HPLC. 相似文献

Seven alkaloids were isolated from Papaver bracteatum Arya II, six of which: thebaine, 14β-hydroxycodeine, codeine, neopine, alpinigenine and protopine, have been previously found to be present in other types of this species. It is the first report of the isolation of O-methylflavinantine from P. bracteatum. 相似文献

A rapid method enabling a quantitative analysis of thebaine in capsules and latex of Papaver bracteatum has been devised, based on a TLC technique. This method was compared to the commonly used GLC procedure, and highly significant correlation coefficient (r = 0.90) and linear regression were found between the two methods. Values for concentrations to the nearest ±0.25% of the standard spots can be reached by this simple and rapid thebaine determination. 相似文献

Papaver bracteatum, native to Iran and southern Russia, has been grown successfully in many countries. Research in the northwest United States has confirmed the potential for its commercial production as a source of the alkaloid thebaine. Potential for the chemical conversion of thebaine into codeine, one of man’s most widely used alkaloidal medicinal agents, is reviewed. Economic and social advantages of growing this species over opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) are discussed. The value of the seed oil for cooking and industrial use is considered. 相似文献

Immunofluorescence labeling and shotgun proteomics were used to establish the cell type–specific localization of morphine biosynthesis in opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). Polyclonal antibodies for each of six enzymes involved in converting (R)-reticuline to morphine detected corresponding antigens in sieve elements of the phloem, as described previously for all upstream enzymes transforming (S)-norcoclaurine to (S)-reticuline. Validated shotgun proteomics performed on whole-stem and latex total protein extracts generated 2031 and 830 distinct protein families, respectively. Proteins corresponding to nine morphine biosynthetic enzymes were represented in the whole stem, whereas only four of the final five pathway enzymes were detected in the latex. Salutaridine synthase was detected in the whole stem, but not in the latex subproteome. The final three enzymes converting thebaine to morphine were among the most abundant active latex proteins despite a limited occurrence in laticifers suggested by immunofluorescence labeling. Multiple charge isoforms of two key O-demethylases in the latex were revealed by two-dimensional immunoblot analysis. Salutaridine biosynthesis appears to occur only in sieve elements, whereas conversion of thebaine to morphine is predominant in adjacent laticifers, which contain morphine-rich latex. Complementary use of immunofluorescence labeling and shotgun proteomics has substantially resolved the cellular localization of morphine biosynthesis in opium poppy. 相似文献

The biotransformation of codeine to morphine was studied in isolated capsules of Papaver somniferum. Cofactors such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, adenosine 5′-triphosphate, S-acetyl coenzyme A and pyridoxal phosphate were not required in the conversion of codeine to morphine. Reducing agents such as dithiothreitol, glutathione and β-mercaptoethanol strongly promoted codeine and morphine degradation, while morphine formation remained at a constant level. Hydrogen peroxide (concentration > 0.25 mM) caused the conversion of codeine and morphine to N-oxides by non-enzymatic oxidation. Isolated capsules of P. somniferum provide a method of studying the biotransformation of codeine to morphine. 相似文献

(RS)-Reticuline was stereospecifically converted to (—)-(S)-scoulerine and (—)-(S)-cheilanthifoline by cell cultures of Papaver somniferum and (—)-(R)-reticuline was recovered as an optical pure compound by racemic resolution. (—)-Codeinone was converted in high yield to (—)-codeine in both cell culture and enzyme preparation, but the other morphinans, thebaine, codeine and morphine, were not metabolized. 相似文献

Radio active morphine (14C- and 3H-labelled) was fed in vitro to freshly collected samples of capsules and stem latex of Papaver somniferum and it was shown that some of it was converted to radioactive N-oxide. Although metabolic activity and variation between samples of latex collected at different times were much less marked than those previously found using in vivo methods, the results do confirm that the isolated latex is a metabolically viable tissue. 相似文献

The gene actions for yield and its attributes and their inheritance pattern based on five parameter model have been explored in four single crosses (NBIHT-5 × NBIHT-6, NBIHT-5 × NBMHT-1, NBMHT-1 × NBIHT-6 and NBMHT-2 × NBMHT-1) obtained using thebaine rich pure lines of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) for three consecutive generations. All the traits showed nonallelic mode of interaction, however, dominance effect (h) was more pronounced for all the traits except thebaine and papaverine. The dominance × dominance (l) effects were predominant over additive × additive (i) for all traits in all the four crosses except for papaverine. The seed and opium yield, and its contributing traits inherited quantitatively. The fixable gene effects (d) and (i) were lower in magnitude than nonfixable (h) and (l) gene effects. The estimates of heterosis were also higher in comparison to the respective parents which suggested preponderance of dominance gene action for controlling most of the traits. The phenotypic coefficient of variation was marginally higher than those of genotypic coefficient of variation for all the traits. The traits thebaine, narcotine, morphine and opium yield had high heritability coupled with high genetic advance. The leaf number, branches per plant and stem diameter showed positive correlation with opium and seed yields. The selection of plants having large number of leaves, branches and capsules with bigger size would be advantageous to enhance the yield potential. 相似文献

Morphine, first characterized in opium from the poppy Papaver somniferum, is one of the strongest known analgesics. Endogenous morphine has been identified in several mammalian cells and tissues. The synthetic pathway of morphine in the opium poppy has been elucidated. The presence of common intermediates in plants and mammals suggests that biosynthesis occurs through similar pathways (beginning with the amino acid l-tyrosine), and the pathway has been completely delineated in plants. Some of the enzymes in the mammalian pathway have been identified and characterized. Two of the latter steps in the morphine biosynthesis pathway are demethylation of thebaine at the O3- and the O6-positions, the latter of which has been difficult to demonstrate. The plant enzymes responsible for both the O3-demethylation and the O6-demethylation are members of the FeII/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family. Previous studies showed that human cytochrome P450 (P450) 2D6 can catalyze thebaine O3-demethylation. We report that demethylation of thebaine at the O6-position is selectively catalyzed by human P450s 3A4 and 3A5, with the latter being more efficient, and rat P450 3A2. Our results do not support O6-demethylation of thebaine by an FeII/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase. In rat brain microsomes, O6-demethylation was inhibited by ketoconazole, but not sulfaphenazole, suggesting that P450 3A enzymes are responsible for this activity in the brain. An alternate pathway to morphine, oripavine O6-demethylation, was not detected. The major enzymatic steps in mammalian morphine synthesis have now been identified. 相似文献

The polysaccharide fraction of the capsule of Papaver somniferum contained bound morphine and codeine. The alkaloids appear to be bound to the polymer by two different types of linkage. 相似文献

In continuing studies on the metabolic activity of Papaver somniferum, latex has been examined for its enzyme and alkaloidal metabolite content. After an initial centrifugation of latex at 1000g, the pellet which contained a heterogeneous population of dense organelles was further resolved on sucrose gradients. Of the enzymes monitored, acid phosphatase and l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase were found to be in the latex 1000g supernatant, whereas catecholase (polyphenolase) was localized in two distinct organelles within the 1000g sediment. The lighter organelles, sedimenting at 30% sucrose, contained a soluble enzyme which was readily released on organelle plasmolysis, whereas the catecholase found within the heavier organelles, sedimenting at 55–60% sucrose, was membrane bound and showed significant activity only in the presence of Triton X-100. These latter organelles also contained the alkaloids, including morphine and thebaine, and were observed to readily accumulate [14CH3]morphine. The alkaloid precursor, dopamine, was localized in the same dense vesicle fraction as the alkaloids. The rate of uptake of [7-14C]dopamine into these fractions at room temperature, however, was markedly lower than that of morphine. Electron microscopic examination of the organelles of various densities revealed that they possessed different morphology. The results are consistent with the concept that both the 1000g and supernatant fractions of the latex are required for alkaloid biosynthesis and that a sub-population of dense organelles found in the 1000g sediment have at least a function as a storage compartment for both alkaloids and their catecholamine precursor. 相似文献

The predominating flavour compounds in the fruit pulp of Durio zibethinus were hydrogen sulfide, ethyl hydrodisulfide and several dialkyl polysulfides, particularly (C2H5)2Sn, where n = 2 or 3. Ethyl acetate, 1,1-diethoxyethane and ethyl 2-methylbutanoate contribute to an additional fruity odour note. Hydrodisulfides are probably the precursors of the dialkyl sulfides. In the pericarp and seed no volatile sulfur compounds could be detected. The fatty acid composition of the lipids in pericarp, pulp and seed depended on the origin and/or harvest season of the fruit. The main components were oleic and palmitic acids or arachidic acid together with appreciable quantities of palmitoleic, stearic, linoleic and linolenic acids. 相似文献

Two new dibenz[d,f]azonine alkaloids, neodihydrothebaine and bractazonine were isolated from Papaver bracteatum. Their possible biosynthesis from thebaine is discussed. The structures of both new alkaloids are proven by synthesis. An isomeric dibenz[d,f]azonine compound was also prepared. 相似文献
