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.

  • View Monitoring of Tropane Alkaloids in Food As
    Monitoring of tropane alkaloids in food Research programme Agricultural contaminants 02 Study duration January 2015 to March 2017 Project code FS102116 Conducted by Fera Science Ltd Background Tropane alkaloids (TAs) are plant toxins that are naturally produced in several families including Brassicaceae, Solanaceae (e.g. mandrake, henbane, deadly nightshade, Jimson weed) and Erythroxylaceae (including coca).Tropane alkaloids can occur in cereal-based foods through the contamination of cereals with seeds from deadly nightshade and henbane. In 2013, EFSA’s Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) delivered a scientific opinion on the risks to human and animal health related to the presence of tropane alkaloids in food and feed. Although over 200 tropane alkaloids are known, data on their toxicity and occurrence in food and feed are limited, with the exception of (-)-hyoscyamine (an isomer of atropine) and (-)-scopolamine. More recently, it has been found that a group of tropane alkaloids, the calystegines are found in various edible plants of the Solanum genus and in the weed Convolvulus. Due to limited occurrence and toxicity data, the CONTAM Panel could only characterise risk to human health for two TAs: ((-)-hyoscyamine and (-)-scopolamine). The panel recommended more analytical data on the occurrence of TAs should be collected to better characterise the risks to human health from TAs occurring in food and feed. Consequently, EFSA commissioned research to obtain representative occurrence data for tropane alkaloids in foods. This project is the UK contribution to the study. The data obtained will serve as supporting information for future exposure assessments. Objective and Approach This project is the UK’s contribution to a European Union wide study on tropane alkaloids in food commissioned by EFSA to gather data on the occurrence of tropane alkaloids in food for human consumption from different geographic regions in Europe.

  • Alkaloids of the Genus Datura: Review of a Rich Resource for Natural Product Discovery
    molecules Review Alkaloids of the Genus Datura: Review of a Rich Resource for Natural Product Discovery Maris A. Cinelli * and A. Daniel Jones * Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] (M.A.C.); [email protected] (A.D.J.); Tel.: +1-906-360-8177 (M.A.C.); +1-517-432-7126 (A.D.J.) Abstract: The genus Datura (Solanaceae) contains nine species of medicinal plants that have held both curative utility and cultural significance throughout history. This genus’ particular bioactivity results from the enormous diversity of alkaloids it contains, making it a valuable study organism for many disciplines. Although Datura contains mostly tropane alkaloids (such as hyoscyamine and scopolamine), indole, beta-carboline, and pyrrolidine alkaloids have also been identified. The tools available to explore specialized metabolism in plants have undergone remarkable advances over the past couple of decades and provide renewed opportunities for discoveries of new compounds and the genetic basis for their biosynthesis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of studies on the alkaloids of Datura that focuses on three questions: How do we find and identify alkaloids? Where do alkaloids come from? What factors affect their presence and abundance? We also address pitfalls and relevant questions applicable to natural products and metabolomics researchers. With both careful perspectives and new advances in instrumentation, the pace of alkaloid discovery—from not just Datura—has the potential to accelerate dramatically in the near future.

Plants grown from seeds of Slovene au- tochthonous population of deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), were treated with different water regimes (35–95% depletion of available soil water) together with enhanced nitrogen supply (0.37–1.60 g/pot N) in a greenhouse experiment. Dry plant extracts from 32-week old roots were analysed with capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the presence of tropane alkaloids (hyosciamyne, scopolamine). The results of the plant treatment responses showed that the maximal yield of tropane alkaloids (hyoscyamine: 54 mg/plant; scopolamine: 7 mg/plant) was achieved in plants grown under an optimal irrigation regime (35% depletion of available soil water) accompanied with total nitrogen supply of 0.37 g/pot. By contrast, the maximal content of alkaloids was achieved with 95% depletion of available soil water and a nitrogen supply of 1.60 g/pot.

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.

Naturforsch. 61c, 560Ð564 (2006); received March 3/April 10, 2006 The kinetics of tropane alkaloids accumulation in different organs such as roots, leaves, stems, flowers and seeds of Datura innoxia was investigated by GC-MS. Twenty-six tropane alkaloids were detected. The ester derivatives of tropine (3α-tigloyloxytropine and 3-tigloyl- oxy-6-hydroxytropine) are the major compounds. Undifferentiated callus were established from the stem explants of Datura innoxia using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplied with 6-benzylaminopurine (BA, 1 mg lÐ1) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, 0.5 mg lÐ1) in com- bination for 6 weeks. Callus differentiation was initiated by subculture onto solid MS me- dium, free from hormones, for more than 10 months. Initially, shoots were formed after four weeks from subculture. Further subculturing in basal MS medium without growth regulators initiated the rooting of a shooty callus after 6 weeks. Investigation of the alkaloid content of the unorganized and organized callus revealed that callus (either green or brown) yielded only trace amounts of alkaloids. On the other hand, re-differentiated shoots contained mainly scopolamine while re-differentiated roots biosynthesized hyoscyamine as the main alkaloid. Key words: Datura innoxia, in vitro Re-Differentiated Callus, Tropane Alkaloids Introduction In the present study we have investigated the All species of Datura and Brugmansia contain accumulation of tropane alkaloids at various certain biologically active tropane alkaloids, which stages of growth of intact plants of D.
