In Lupinus arboreus sparteine was the main labelled alkaloid, in L. hispanicus it was lupinine. A pulse chase experiment with L. angustifolius and L. arboreus showed that the incorporation of cadaverine into lupanine and sparteine was transient with a maximum between 8 and 20 h. Only leaflets and chlorophyllous petioles showed active alkaloid biosynthesis, where­ as no incorporation of cadaverine into lupanine was observed in roots. Using in vitro organ cultures of Lupinus polyphyllus, L. succulentus, L. subcarnosus, Cytisus scoparius and Laburnum anagyroides the inactivity of roots was confirmed.

Rasmussen Career Development Professor of Food Science Barbara Garrison Shapiro Professor of Chemistry Head of the Department of Chemistry *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In work directed toward a total synthesis of the Lycopodium alkaloid lycopladine H (21), several strategies have been explored based on key tandem oxidative dearomatization/Diels-Alder reactions of o-quinone ketals. Both intra- and intermolecular approaches were examined, with the greatest success coming from dearomatization of bromophenol 84b followed by cycloaddition of the resulting dienone with nitroethylene to provide the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane core 203 of the natural product. The C-5 center was established via a stereoselective Henry reaction with formaldehyde to form 228, and the C-12 center was set through addition of vinyl cerium to the C-12 ketone to give 272. A novel intramolecular hydroaminomethylation of vinyl amine 272 was used to construct the 8-membered azocane ring in intermediate 322, resulting in establishment of 3 of the 4 rings present in the natural product 21 in 9 steps from known readily available compounds.

This risk assessment 13 is limited to QAs occurring in Lupinus species/varieties relevant for animal and human consumption in 14 Europe (i.e. L. albus, L. angustifolius, L. luteus and L. mutabilis). Information on the toxicity of QAs in 15 animals and humans is limited. Following acute exposure to sparteine (reference compound), 16 anticholinergic effects and changes in cardiac electric conductivity are considered to be critical for 17 human hazard characterisation. The CONTAM Panel used a margin of exposure (MOE) approach 18 identifying a lowest single oral effective dose of 0.16 mg sparteine/kg body weight as reference point 19 to characterise the risk following acute exposure. No reference point could be identified to 20 characterise the risk of chronic exposure.

More than 30 alkaloids were identified. The lowest alkaloid concentration was observed in the L. albus Luxor, Aster, and Rosetta cultivars, and in all the varieties of L. luteus and L. angustifolius. The highest content was observed in all the landraces of L. albus. Surprisingly, the white lupin Lublanc variety and the commercial seeds of cv Multitalia had a high alkaloid content.

  • The Biogenesis of Certain Alkaloids
    THE BIOGENESIS OF CERTAIN ALKALOIDS SIR RoBERT RoBINSON 170 Piccadilly, London, U.K. In recent years there have been outstanding advances in the elucidation of the molecular structure of alkaloids. Especially the alkaloids of amaryl­ lidaceae, the aconite and delphinium alkaloids, some steroid alkaloids, and many groups of indole alkaloids have been forced to disclose their secrets. This astonishingly rapid progress has to a large extent been made possible by the development and use ofpowerful techniques such as chromatography, mass spectrography, X-ray crystal analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance, to eke out infra-red and ultra-violet spectroscopy. The chief interest that chemists now perceive in the alkaloid structures is the further opportunity afforded for study of the processes of synthesis in the plant and the new material has given significant help in this direction. In 19171 the author suggested a scheme of biosynthesis of alkaloids based on a comparison ofmolecular structure. This was amplified at various times in lectures and to some extent in publications2• The present contribution surveys some of the verification of predictions, and also corrections, which have been made as a result of experimental work in many laboratories. The most important methods have been the study of biosynthesis in micro­ organisms by the use of mutates and, still more directly, the use of isotopic tracers. The latter, usually radioactive, are fed to the plants, the alkaloids being later isolated and degraded in order to identify the site of radioactive atorns. Although these methods are not without their peculiar pitfalls and though care is required in the design ofthe experiments and the interpretation ofthe results, the outcome is a clear proofofthe outlines ofbiogenesis in very many cases.
