  • Nematotoxicity of Neotyphodium Infected Tall Fescue Alkaloids and Other Secondary Metabolites on Pratylenchus Scribneri
    NEMATOTOXICITY OF NEOTYPHODIUM-INFECTED TALL FESCUE ALKALOIDS AND OTHER SECONDARY METABOLITES ON THE PLANT- PARASITIC NEMATODE PRATYLENCHUS SCRIBNERI by ADA ANTONIA BACETTY (Under the direction of Charles W. Bacon) ABSTRACT Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a perennial, cool-season turf and forage grass species in the United States that covers over 20 million hectares of pastureland. Neotyphodium coenophialum, an endophytic fungus associated with cool-season grasses, enhances host fitness and imparts pest resistance to the grass. Biologically active alkaloids and other secondary metabolites are produced in this association that not only cause adverse effects on livestock, fescue toxicosis, but may also play a role in the reduction of plant-parasitic nematode populations. Currently there is little information available on the effects of these biologically active compounds on nematodes associated with tall fescue. Therefore, this research examines the interaction of ergot and loline alkaloids, as well as polyphenolic compounds, from endophyte-infected tall fescue on toxicity to the lesion nematode, Pratylenchus scribneri. In vitro bioassays were performed to assess the effects of specifically identified compounds on P. scribneri motility, mortality, and chemoreception. While separate greenhouse studies evaluated the effects of endophyte- infected tall fescue on P. scribneri viability. Root extracts served as nematistatic agents to the nematodes in the chemical submersion assays and affected nematode behavior by acting as repellents in chemoreception studies. During individual tests, ergovaline and α-ergocryptine were nematicidal at 5µg/ml and 50µg/ml respectively. However, chemotaxis studies revealed α-ergocryptine as an attractant (1-20µg/ml) and repellent (50-200µg/ml). Ergovaline was an effective repellent (1-5µg/ml) and a nematicidal (10-200µg/ml).

The use of these seeds is unsafe. They can cause hallucinogenic effects, nausea, vomiting, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, (severe) fatigue and lethargy. These health effects can occur even when the seeds are consumed at the recommended dose. This is the conclusion of a risk assessment performed by RIVM. Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds are sold as raw seeds or in capsules. The raw seeds can be eaten as such, or after being crushed and dissolved in liquid (generally hot water).

As awareness of the global need for natural products which can be made available as drugs on a sustainable basis increases, so it has become increas- ingly important that there is a full understanding of how key metabolic pathways can be optimized. At the same time, it remains important to find new biologically active alkaloids and to elucidate the mechanisms of action of those that do show potentially useful or novel biological effects. Facchini, in Chapter 1, reviews the significant studies that have been conducted with respect to how the formation of alkaloids in their various diverse sources are regulated at the molecular level.

  • Phoretic Analysis of Ergot Alkaloids. Relations Mobility in the Cle Vine
    Acta Pharm, Suecica 2, 357 (1965) Thin-layer chromatographic and thin-layer electro- phoretic analysis of ergot alkaloids.Relations between structure, RM value and electrophoretic mobility in the cle vine series STIG AGUREll DepartMent of PharmacOgnosy, Kunql, Farmaceuliska Insiitutei, StockhOLM, Sweden SUMMARY A thin-layer chromatographic and electrophoretic study of the ergot alkaloids has been made, to find rapid methods for the separation and identification of the known ergot alkaloids. The mobilities of ergot alkaloids in several useful chromatographic and electrophore- tic systems are recorded. Relations have been observed between structure and R" value in methanol-chloroform on Silica Gel G. A simple, rapid thin-layer electrophoretic technique has been de- vised for separation of ergot alkaloids, and a relation between structure and electrophoretic mobility is evident. Two-dimensional combinations of thin-layer chromatography and thin-layer electro- phoresis and chromatography are described. Numerous paper chromatographic procedures have been published for separation of the ergot alkaloids and their derivatives. Hofmann (1) and Genest & Farmilio (2) have recently listed these systems. The general advantages of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) over paper partition chromatography are well known: shorter time of equilibration and devel- opment, generally better resolution, smaller amounts of substance rc- quired, and wider choice of reagents. Several reports of TLC of ergot alkaloids have been published. In gene- ral, these investigations (2-6 and others) have dealt 'with limited groups of alkaloids, or with a specific problem involving at most a dozen of the 40 now known naturally occurring ergot alkaloids. Some paper chromate- .357 graphic systems using Iorrnamide-treated papers have also been adopted for thin-layer chromatographic use (7, 8).

Academic Editor: Christopher L. Schardl Received: 21 November 2014 / Accepted: 14 January 2015 / Published: 20 January 2015 Abstract: Several fungi in two different families––the Clavicipitaceae and the Trichocomaceae––produce different profiles of ergot alkaloids, many of which are important in agriculture and medicine. All ergot alkaloid producers share early steps before their pathways diverge to produce different end products. EasA, an oxidoreductase of the old yellow enzyme class, has alternate activities in different fungi resulting in branching of the pathway. Enzymes beyond the branch point differ among lineages. In the Clavicipitaceae, diversity is generated by the presence or absence and activities of lysergyl peptide synthetases, which interact to make lysergic acid amides and ergopeptines. The range of ergopeptines in a fungus may be controlled by the presence of multiple peptide synthetases as well as by the specificity of individual peptide synthetase domains. In the Trichocomaceae, diversity is generated by the presence or absence of the prenyl transferase encoded by easL (also called fgaPT1). Moreover, relaxed specificity of EasL appears to contribute to ergot alkaloid diversification. The profile of ergot alkaloids observed within a fungus also is affected by a delayed flux of intermediates through the pathway, which results in an accumulation of intermediates or early pathway byproducts to concentrations comparable to that of the pathway end product.

Martin An iminium ion cascade sequence was designed and its implementation attempted to form the pentacyclic core structure of the natural product condylocarpine. Trapping of the transient Pictet-Spengler-type spiroindolenium ion with a latent nucleophile would form two of the five rings of condylocarpine in a regioselective manner. Progress towards the first fully stereocontrolled synthesis of a lysergic acid derivative has been described. The route utilizes intermediates with the appropriate oxidation state for the target, and the two stereocenters are installed via asymmetric catalysis. The d ring and second stereocenter were simultaneously formed via an unprecedented microwave heated asymmetric ring closing metathesis (ARCM). iv Table of Contents List of Figures.....................................................................................................
