Tropane and Granatane Alkaloid Biosynthesis: A Systematic Analysis Abstract The tropane and granatane alkaloids belong to the larger pyrroline and piperidine classes of plant alkaloids, respectively. Their core structures share common moieties and their scattered distribution among angiosperms suggest that their biosynthesis may share common ancestry in some orders, while they may be independently derived in others. Tropane and granatane alkaloid diversity arises from the myriad modifications occurring ot their core ring structures. Throughout much of human history, humans have cultivated tropane- and granatane-producing plants for their medicinal properties. This manuscript will discuss the diversity of their biological and ecological roles as well as what is known about the structural genes and enzymes responsible for their biosynthesis.

  • Laszlo Gyermek: the Role of the Tropane Skeleton in Drug Research
    1 Laszlo Gyermek: The role of the tropane skeleton in drug research This review describes certain reminiscences about an area of chemical pharmacology I have been involved with, on and off, for many years. Specifically, it focuses on tropane, a fascinating, naturally occurring bicyclic chemical ring system that lends itself to many pharmaceutical and therapeutic applications. My involvement with the tropane ring started more than 60 years ago in 1949, when, as a young assistant in the Institute of Pharmacology at the Medical Faculty of the University of Budapest, I started out to probe some, yet unexplored chemical pharmacological aspects of the best known tropane alkaloid, atropine, which is the tropic acid ester of tropine, the simplest, naturally occurring tropane compound, the structure of which is shown in Figure 1. The bicyclic ring system of tropane can be construed as a condensation product of a piperidine and pyrrolidine ring with a shared N atom as shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 calls attention to the numbering of the atoms of the tropane ring. Thus, the exact chemical name of tropane is: 8 Methyl azabicyclo (3.2.1) octane. This name also characterizes the manner of how this bicyclic ring system is branched, which has distinct pharmacological significance. 2 There exist about 230 naturally occurring tropane derivatives (Lounasmaa and Tamminen 1993). The number of synthetically produced tropane compounds is, however, much higher and runs to the thousands. As mentioned, tropine (or tropane-3-alpha-ol) with a molecular weight of 141.21 g/mol. and a molecular volume of 142 cubic Angstrom is the smallest tropane alkaloid, while the largest is grahamine, a trimer, with three fused tropane rings, with a molecular weight of 860 g/mol.

Page 2 of 103 1. Summary A literature review was undertaken to understand the potential sources of tropane alkaloids (TAs) in the diet. Following the literature review a sampling plan was developed to carry out a survey of UK foods to determine their tropane alkaloid content. Sources of contamination were identified as Datura type seeds and the increase of Convulvulus type weeds in fields of food crops. Sampling was carried out for the UK FSA and as a part of a wider EFSA survey. A total of 286 samples were analysed for TAs and calystegines for the EFSA survey. 227 UK samples (197 cereal products, 10 green beans and stir fry vegetables and 20 teas) were analysed for TAs, and 59 UK samples (44 potatoes and 15 aubergines) were analysed for calystegines as part of the EFSA survey.

The cDNA clones for TR-I and TR-II encode tropinone polypeptides containing 273 and 260 amino acids, respectively, and when these clones were expressed in Escherichia coli, the CH3eN recombinant TRs showed the same strict stereospecificity as OH that observed for the native TRs that had been isolated from tropine OH xj-tropine plants. The deduced amino acid sequences of the two clones showed an overall identity of 64% in 260-amino acid residues and also shared significant similarities with enzymes in the short-chain, nonmetal dehydrogenase family.
