In our approach, an intramolecular Heck reaction was used to form the quaternary stereocentre C10b driven by the stereochemical information at C4a of the precursor. Allylic oxidation of intermediate 3.25 followed by diasteroselective reduction, introduced the alcohol at C3 with the correct stereochemistry. An advanced intermediate (3.29) in the synthesis of (+)-maritidine was produced, and routes to complete the total synthesis were proposed. A series of polymer-supported sulfonate ester linkers were developed for use in the resin- linker-vector (RLV) approach for the synthesis of [18F]-radiopharmaceuticals used as imaging probes in positron-emission-tomography (PET). Upon exposure of the RLV construct to [18F]-fluoride, a small quantity of [18F]-radiotracer is released in solution which is separated from the unreacted material and cleaved resin, by simple filtration. The RLV strategy was successfully applied for the synthesis of the known radiopharmaceutical O-(2-[18F]-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine, [18F]-FET. A C-H activation-cyclisation sequence was used to achieve the synthesis of the Amaryllidaceae alkaloid oxoassoanine as well as a phenanthridinoid analogue, part of potential non-charged dual reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) poisoned by organophosphorous (OP) nerve agents.

Received: 28 April 2013; in revised form: 26 May 2013 / Accepted: 27 May 2013 / Published: 31 May 2013 Abstract: The alkaloids characteristically produced by the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllidaceae, bulbous plant species that include well know genera such as Narcissus (daffodils) and Galanthus (snowdrops), are a source of new pharmaceutical compounds. Presently, only the Amaryllidaceae alkaloid galanthamine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to treat symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, is produced commercially as a drug from cultivated plants. However, several Amaryllidaceae alkaloids have shown great promise as anti-cancer drugs, but their further clinical development is restricted by their limited commercial availability. Amaryllidaceae species have a long history of cultivation and breeding as ornamental bulbs, and phytochemical research has focussed on the diversity in alkaloid content and composition. In contrast to the available pharmacological and phytochemical data, ecological, physiological and molecular aspects of the Amaryllidaceae and their alkaloids are much less explored and the identity of the alkaloid biosynthetic genes is presently unknown. An improved molecular understanding of Amaryllidaceae alkaloid biosynthesis would greatly benefit the rational design of breeding programs to produce cultivars optimised for the production of pharmaceutical compounds and enable biotechnology based approaches.

  • Poisonous Plants in New Zealand
    THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association Poisonous plants in New Zealand: a review of those that are most commonly enquired about to the National Poisons Centre Robin J Slaughter, D Michael G Beasley, Bruce S Lambie, Gerard T Wilkins, Leo J Schep Abstract Introduction New Zealand has a number of plants, both native and introduced, contact with which can lead to poisoning. The New Zealand National Poisons Centre (NZNPC) frequently receives enquiries regarding exposures to poisonous plants. Poisonous plants can cause harm following inadvertent ingestion, via skin contact, eye exposures or inhalation of sawdust or smoked plant matter. Aim The purpose of this article is to determine the 15 most common poisonous plant enquiries to the NZNPC and provide a review of current literature, discussing the symptoms that might arise upon exposure to these poisonous plants and the recommended medical management of such poisonings. Methods Call data from the NZNPC telephone collection databases regarding human plant exposures between 2003 and 2010 were analysed retrospectively. The most common plants causing human poisoning were selected as the basis for this review. An extensive literature review was also performed by systematically searching OVID MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar. Further information was obtained from book chapters, relevant news reports and web material. Results For the years 2003–2010 inclusive, a total of 256,969 enquiries were received by the NZNPC. Of these enquiries, 11,049

The main characteristics connected with AD implicate the dysfunction of cognitive role, mainly loss of memory. While, the main features linked with AD at later stages include deficits of language, depression and problems associated with behavior. One of the most important approaches for medication of this disease is to improve level of the acetylcholine in the brain tissues using inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The present work reviews the literature on natural products from plants and plant-derived compounds inhibitors of enzyme acetylcholinesterase.
