  • Biosynthesis of Natural Products
    63 2. Biosynthesis of Natural Products - Terpene Biosynthesis 2.1 Introduction Terpenes are a large and varied class of natural products, produced primarily by a wide variety of plants, insects, microoroganisms and animals. They are the major components of resin, and of turpentine produced from resin. The name "terpene" is derived from the word "turpentine". Terpenes are major biosynthetic building blocks within nearly every living creature. Steroids, for example, are derivatives of the triterpene squalene. When terpenes are modified, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as terpenoids. Some authors will use the term terpene to include all terpenoids. Terpenoids are also known as Isoprenoids. Terpenes and terpenoids are the primary constituents of the essential oils of many types of plants and flowers. Essential oils are used widely as natural flavor additives for food, as fragrances in perfumery, and in traditional and alternative medicines such as aromatherapy. Synthetic variations and derivatives of natural terpenes and terpenoids also greatly expand the variety of aromas used in perfumery and flavors used in food additives. Recent estimates suggest that over 30'000 different terpenes have been characterized from natural sources. Early on it was recognized that the majority of terpenoid natural products contain a multiple of 5C-atoms. Hemiterpenes consist of a single isoprene unit, whereas the monoterpenes include e.g.: Monoterpenes CH2OH CHO CH2OH OH Myrcens

However, these highly functionalized natural products are produced through complex biosynthetic pathways for which we have a complete understanding in only a few cases. Here we review some of the most effective and promising plant terpenoids that are currently used in medicine and medical research and provide updates on their biosynthesis, natural occurrence, and mechanism of action in the body. This includes pharmacologically useful plastidic terpenoids such as p-menthane monoterpenoids, cannabinoids, paclitaxel (taxol®), and ingenol mebutate which are derived from the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, as well as cytosolic terpenoids such as thapsigargin and artemisinin produced through the mevalonate (MVA) pathway. We further provide a review of the MEP and MVA precursor pathways which supply the carbon skeletons for the downstream transformations yielding these medically significant natural products.

  • A Terpene for Everyone Maximizing Your Cannabis Experience Author: Caitlin Nelson | Editors: Erica Freeman & Amanda Woods
    A Terpene for Everyone Maximizing your Cannabis Experience Author: Caitlin Nelson | Editors: Erica Freeman & Amanda Woods Let’s take a moment to re-hash our topic—terpenes! The essential oils that create the familiar scent that fills your nose when you open your jar of Sour Diesel, and maybe even makes your mouth water. (Just a little, not drooling status or anything) The compounds are inhaled through the nose, and transported to the hypothalamus in the limbic brain, which controls heart rate, blood pressure, hunger, and thirst. Terpene test results are broken down by each terpene as a percentage of the total terpene profile (i.e., some percentage out of 100%). There are hundreds of terpenes and countless combinations; each combination carrying a unique set of characteristics working to unlock your bodies cannabinoid receptors like a key. An “herban” legend rumors that eating a Mango before smoking cannabis would get you “more high”. This sounds like a delicious myth and current research suggest there is some truth to this after all. It turns out that Mangos contain a high percentage of the compound β-Myrcene, which “…has been shown to allow more absorption of cannabinoids by the brain, by changing the permeability of cell membranes. Eating a fresh mango 45 minutes before smoking could increase the effects”, Steep Hill Lab states. (buys stock in Mangos) β–Myrcene gets its name from a medicinal shrub from Brazil, the Myrcia sphaerocarpa, which contains very high amounts of β–Myrcene. According to many sources, extracts of the roots have been used there to treat hypertension, diabetes, diarrhea and dysentery.

Arguably his crowning achievement f terpene was the ‘biogenetic isoprene rule’, which helped to unravel the complexities of terpenoid f steroid biosynthesis. The rule declares terpenoids to be enzymatically cyclized products of f evolution substrate alkene chains containing a characteristic number of linear, head-to-tail f great oxidation event condensed, C5 isoprene units. The number of repeat isoprene units dictates the type of f Ruzicka terpene produced (i.e., 2, monoterpene; 3, sesquiterpene; 4, diterpene, etc.). In the case of triterpenes, six C5 isoprene units combine into C30 squalene, which is cyclized into one of the signature carbon skeletons from which myriad downstream triterpenoid structures are derived, including sterols and steroids. Ruzicka also had a keen interest in the origin of life, but the pivotal role of terpenoids has generally been overshadowed by nucleobases, amino acids, and sugars.

The mechanism of action of two VOCs—the cyclic monoterpenes (−)-limonene and (+)-α-pinene—on bacteria was studied in this work. We used genetically engineered Escherichia coli bioluminescent strains harboring stress-responsive promoters (responsive to oxidative stress, DNA damage, SOS response, protein damage, heatshock, membrane damage) fused to the luxCDABE genes of Photorhabdus luminescens. We showed that (−)-limonene induces the PkatG and PsoxS promoters due to the formation of reactive oxygen species and, as a result, causes damage to DNA (SOSresponse), proteins (heat shock), and membrane (increases its permeability). The experimental data indicate that the action of (−)- limonene at high concentrations and prolonged incubation time makes degrading processes in cells irreversible. The effect of (+)-α-pinene is much weaker: it induces only heat shock in the bacteria. Moreover, we showed for the first time that (−)-limonene completely inhibits the DnaKJE–ClpB bichaperone-dependent refolding of heat-inactivated bacterial luciferase in both E.

This has been the driving force for embracing sustainable agriculture. Plant secondary metabolites offer promising alternatives for protecting plants against microbes, feeding herbivores, and weeds. Terpenes are the largest among PSMs and have been extensively studied for their potential as antimicrobial, insecticidal, and weed control agents. They also attract natural enemies of pests and beneficial insects, such as pollinators and dispersers. However, most of these research findings are shelved and fail to pass beyond the laboratory and greenhouse stages. This review provides an overview of terpenes, types, biosynthesis, and their roles in protecting plants against microbial pathogens, insect pests, and weeds to rekindle the debate on using terpenes for the development of environmentally friendly biopesticides and herbicides.
