Caffeine formula, a stimulating alkaloid.

It's called alkaloids (from alkali, "carbonates of alkalis", and -oid, " similar to", "in the form of") to those secondary metabolites of plants synthesized, generally, from amino acids, which have in common their water solubility at acidic pH and their solubility in organic solvents at pH alkaline. True alkaloids derive from an amino acid; therefore they are nitrogenous. All those with the amine or imine functional group are basic. Most of the alkaloids have intense physiological action in animals, even at low doses with psychoactive effects, which is why they are widely used to treat mental problems and relieve pain. Known examples are cocaine, morphine, atropine, colchicine, quinine, caffeine, strychnine and nicotine.

Their chemical structures are varied. An alkaloid is considered to be, by definition, a chemical compound that has a heterocyclic nitrogen from the metabolism of amino acids; if it proceeds from another route, it is defined as a pseudoalkaloid.

History and evolution of the term

The name alkaloid was coined by the German chemist Carl Meissner in 1819 to refer to natural products of plant origin that showed basic properties similar to alkalis. Given the limited structural information at the time, Meissner's definition was vague. Königs reserved the name “alkaloid” for basic compounds related to pyridine, and Guereschi considered the term synonymous with “vegetable base”. Winterstein and Trier (1910) considered alkaloids in the broad sense to be all compounds from any living being that contain basic nitrogen. These authors distinguished between a true alkaloid and a base related to alkaloids. A compound, according to this definition, had to meet the following requirements:

  • Submit a basic nitrogen
  • Nitrogen should be included in a heterocyclic system
  • Having a complex structure
  • Present powerful pharmacological activity
  • Have a restricted distribution to plants

As studies on natural products have progressed, compounds have been discovered that are considered alkaloids, but do not meet any of these requirements: many alkaloids do not present heterocyclic systems, their nitrogen is not basic (like nitro groups), they can present simple structures (as in the case of ephedrine, many amides —such as capsaicin—), they can be pharmacologically inert, and many alkaloids have been isolated from animals.

Hegnauer (1960) classified alkaloids into three types: true alkaloids, pseudoalkaloids and protoalkaloids. The term dry alkaloid is inferred from the nomenclature of natural products and is considered here as a fourth category:

  • (a) True Alkaloids: Side metabolites possessing heterocyclic nitrogen, and their carbon skeleton comes, partial or totally, from a protein amino acid.
  • (b) Pseudoalcaloids: Side metabolites that possess a nitrogen, but which have not been biosynthesized from amino acids, but are formed by transfer of nitrogen in the form of ammonia to a compound of terpenic origin, steroid, polycetic, monosaccharide or a fatty acid.
Aconitin, a pseudoalkaloid produced by species of Aconitum and Delphinium.
  • (c) Protoalcaloids: Side metabolites that do not form a heterocyclic system and are formed from a protein amino acid. Many of these compounds contain an amino, amida, etc.
  • (d) Secoalcaloids: Alkaloids that come from a real alkaloid, but in which by split of the heterocyclic ring is formed an open chain nitrogenated group.
  • (e) Genalcaloids: —or alkaloid aminated oxides — are derived by oxidation of alkaloids containing the R=(NO)-R group, where nitrogen has oxidation number +5, in contrast to normal alkaloids, where it is trivalent (R=N-R). His action is the same as that of the alkaloid from which they come, but it is more paused. They are named adding the gen prefix to the name of the alkaloid. Some genoalkaloids are found in nature, such as the geneserine (derivate of the alkaloid thatrine (fisostigmina)) present in the haba of Calabar.

There are natural products whose consideration as alkaloids is under debate:

  • Nitrogenated bases (Adenine, thymine, guanine, uracyl and cytosine due to their primary role as nucleotides and nucleic acids.
  • Them non-proteinian amino acids because their biological activity is not by joining a cellular receptor site, but because they replace protein amino acids and consequently form defective proteins.
  • Sphingolipids, because they are cell membrane components.
  • Vitamins (especially those of complex B) for being considered primary metabolites with catalytic activity.
  • Cyanogenic glycosides because their biological activity is not by joining a cellular receptor site, but because hydrolysing produces cyanideic acid, which is the one with the biological activity.
  • Glucosinolates because their biological activity is not by linking to a cellular receptor site, but because hydrolysing produces isotiocyanates, which are those that present the biological activity.
  • Them aminoazúcares, such as glucosamine, for being considered rather as glucids.
  • Them tetrapirrolessuch as porphyrin and corrin are still in debate, as some of them are secondary metabolites (such as turacin) and others are considered primary because metals such as iron (Hemo) magnesium (Clorophiles) or copper (Citocromines) and operate as oxygen or electron conveyors.
  • Non-ribial peptides, anhydropeptides and betalactamic antibiotics remain in debate, as they may be referred to as alkaloids or not. They will be considered in this article only as structural prototypes.

The isolation of the first alkaloids in the 19th century roughly coincided with the introduction of the percolation process for the drug extraction. The French pharmacist Charles Derosne probably isolated the alkaloid later called narcotine in 1803, and the pharmacist Friedrich Sertürner investigated opium and isolated morphine. This was quickly followed by the isolation of other alkaloids such as strychnine, caffeine, among others.

Cocaine is the oldest alkaloid in terms of its structure and synthesis being established, but others, such as colchicine, took more than a century for their structures to be defined.

In the Mesoamerican area, a wide variety of alkaloids have been used in traditional Mayan medicine since ancient times. Psychotropic substances, both alkaloids and alcohols, have been used for more than two thousand years for medicinal purposes and in ceremonial rituals. Their use is regulated by women over 39 years of age (3 x 13 cycles of biological evolution according to their own scientific approach), and they are normally administered in a ceremonial way in which the person who ingests them is surrounded by other specialized members of the community.

Biological activity

Its biological activities are important due to its hormonal mimicry and its intervention in the main reactions of cell metabolism. Despite being substances that are not very similar to each other from a structural point of view, they have similar physiological properties. Many alkaloids are the cause of poisoning in humans and animals. The most common form is poisoning from herbal infusions for medicinal purposes, this being an important cause of death, especially in children. Its presence in vegetables makes it possible to accidentally incorporate it into food, creating an easy way of poisoning.

They generally act on the central nervous system, although some affect the parasympathetic nervous system and others the sympathetic nervous system, for example, cocaine acts by preventing the reuptake of dopamine from the synaptic terminal, which produces a greater effect of the dopamine receptors.

The biological activity of alkaloids is very diverse; the most studied is the euphoric action that some have, such as cocaine, although there are also alkaloids with depressant effects on the central nervous system such as morphine.

Pyrrolidine alkaloids are associated with pyrrolizidine structures; they are secondary metabolites of a wide variety of plants, including species found throughout the world. These plants are the cause of numerous cases of cattle poisoning, and have caused great economic losses. They are also a cause of death in humans, especially in underdeveloped countries, as a consequence of the contamination of cereals and seeds, which is why they are of great importance in the field of food. It is believed that the ingestion of herbs and vegetables that contain these alkaloids cause ailments. The structure of these alkaloids consists of two rings of 5 linked atoms that share a nitrogen atom. In nature, rings generally have hydroxymethylene groups in the c-1 position and hydroxyl groups in c-7 as substituents; this structure is known as a necina. Typical examples of this base are heliotridine and retronecin.

Phytochemistry

Extraction methods are very varied, but purification by means of supercritical fluids, specifically with carbon dioxide, has recently been gaining momentum. To obtain plant alkaloids, they are extracted from the parts of the plant that contain them, with water if they are in the form of salts (soluble) or with dilute hydrochloric acid if they are in the insoluble form.

Regarding their detection, there are many methods: chromatographic procedures, colored reactions (Mayer, Dragendorff, Bouchardat reactions... although they are not specific to alkaloids: a positive result can be obtained in the presence, for example, peptides). Spectroscopic methods such as mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy are currently used.

  • Pyridal core alkaloids: to this group belong nicotine, pilocarpine and spatein. Nicotine is found in tobacco juice with other alkaloids. It is a colourless, smelly liquid similar to tobacco and hot and spicy flavor. It's very toxic in high doses.
  • Isoquinoleic core alkaloids: they are found in papal and ranunculaceae plants. The most important is papaverin, which has hypnotic properties (although not as accentuated as morphine).
  • phenantrenic core alkaloids: the most important is morphine. It is found in the opium in the form of salt. It is used in medicine in the form of chloride and sulfate, such as sedatives, analgesics, anesthetics and soothing.
  • Alkaloids of tropical core: Atropine and cocaine belong to this group. The atropine is found in the juice of several plants such as the beautifuldone, brugmansia, floripondium, toloache and the estramony. Coca is extracted from coca leaves or Erytroxylium Coca, is of bitter taste, insensitizes the tongue, and is used in chloride-like medicine as a local anesthetic to cure pain and severe epistaxis.
  • Alcoholic core alkaloids: the most important are strychnine and brucina. Stricnine is one of the most energetic and toxic alkaloids, extracted from various plants of the genus Strychnosamong them the haba of St. Ignatius and the Vomica nut or Nux. It is of very intense bitter taste and is an extremely toxic substance. its ingestion produces tetanical seizures.
  • Undefined core alkaloids: are all those alkaloids whose constitution has not yet been clearly established. Among them is aconitin (very violent poison, used in therapeutics to combat certain ailments) and ergotinin (one of the active principles of the rye cornezuelo, which exerts a specific action on the uterus).

Classification by biosynthesis

Alkaloids are found forming salts with acetic, oxalic, lactic, malic, tartaric, and citric acids. Below is a summary of the biosynthetic diversity of alkaloids.

Protoalkaloids

Many compounds considered pseudoalkaloids could be included in the category of protoalkaloids if all those that do not form heterocyclic systems are considered. The most important ones to consider are amines and amides.

Amines

When an amino acid is decarboxylated, biogenic amines are formed. Histidine and tryptophan, as they possess a heterocyclic ring by themselves, will be considered in separate sections.

Many of these amines form further derivatives, such as catecholamines. Ephedrines are formed from benzoic acid and pyruvate by the action of thiamine pyrophosphate.

Many amines can accept a second or even a third alkyl group to form secondary or tertiary amines. When an amino acid forms a trimethylammonium salt it is called betaine. Examples of betaines are glycinic betaine, trimethylserine (the precursor to choline) and hypaphorin. Muscarine is an ammonium salt of Amanita muscaria.

Amides

Amides are formed by the heteroatomic connection of an amine or ammonia with an acyl-coenzyme A.

Guanidines

There are amines that receive a carbimino group from arginine, such as galegine and creatine.

True alkaloids

They always have a nitrogen that is part of a heterocycle, they are basic in nature, they are normally in the salt state and biogenetically they come from amino acids.

Alkaloids derived from serine, cysteine and glycine

ALCALOIDES DE LA SERINA, CISTEINA Y GLICINA.png
Serine
  • La serin forms the cycloserin, an isoxazolidin-5-one by intramolecular oxidation of nitrogen.
  • Seine can form acid 2,3-diaminopropyonic (acid)DAP), which in turn can form the quisqualic acid, a non-proteinnic amino acid with a ring of 1,2,4-oxadiazolidine, isolated from the piscuala. DAP also forms β-lactamas, which are constituents of SP 26 antibiotics.
  • Seine can be incorporated as etanolamine to alkaloid epilacneno azamacrólide.
  • In several non ribosomal peptides, seine can form oxazoles and these can be referred as alkaloid peptides. Oxazoles are the result of iclation and oxidation of non ribosome peptides of seine or throonine
Where X = H, Met for seine or treonin respectively, B = base.
(1) Enzymatic Cycling. (2) Elimination. (3) [O] = Enzymatic oxygenation.
Cysteine

Cysteine can form various thiazoles:

  • An example is acid 2-methyl-1,3-tiazol-4-carboxylic. This thiacolic acid is the initiation unit of polycytes such as epotylins.
Epothilone C D.svg
Epotilone C
  • Another example of cysteine tiazoles are the Mixotiazoles, which were isolated by Höfle and his collaborators in the 1970s. Mixotiazole A was first described in 1978 in a patent and was later described in the 80's. Mixotiazoles are 2.4'-bi-1,3-tiazoles isolated from fungi that form from a polycyte with a cysteine initiation unit and another cysteine molecule.
  • Cysteine can also form thiomorphins in marine organisms, such as condrine.
Wisteria
  • Glicin can form imidazole rings, such as AIR and creatinine.
  • From the glycine the guanine and adenine purin bases are formed. From the adenine, several purinic compounds are formed, such as cordicepine, eritadenins, nebularin, cytokinins, caffeine, teofiline, teobromine, malonganenonas and nutingins.
  • From the guanine you can sistetize isoaloxazine and pteridine rings. Many insects can produce pigments from pteridins (e.g. Drosophin, Leucopterin, Drosopterina) or other derivative rings:
RUTA DE LAS PTERIDINAS.png
  • La reumitsina and the toxoflavina are compounds that present as the base skeleton the pirimido[5,4-e]-1,2,4-triazine (also referred as Azapteridines). These compounds were isolated from gender bacteria Actinobacter. These triazines may come biogenetically from a purine or pteridine.
  • Examples of azaguanidines is zarzisine.

Pirimido[5,4-e][1,2,4]triazina

Alkaloids derived from aspartate

In this section we consider the alkaloids of amino acids biosynthetically related to aspartic acid: aspartate, asparagine, threonine and methionine.

Aspartate and asparagine

Aspartate can form another related amino acid by reduction of the carboxyl terminal and reductive amination: 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (DABA). When decarboxylated, it can form 1,3-diaminopropane. Aspartate can accept a carbamyl group via its amino nitrogen to form N-carbamoylaspartic acid. Additionally, aspartic acid can condense with dihydroxyacetone phosphate to form the vitamin nicotinic acid.

RUTA DE ALCALOIDES DEL ASPARTATO.png
  • Pirimidins: The precursor is the orotic acid, which is formed by heterocyclization of the acid N- Carbamoilaspártico. Pyridic bases (Uracilo, Timina, Citosina) arise from this precursor. Barbiturate acid is the product of catabolism of pirimidins. Examples of alkaloids from orotic acid are the vicin, convicin, of Vicia faba and the cytokine Pectinophora gossypiella. Latirine could be considered as a non-protein amino acid or alkaloid due to the pirimidine ring. ectoine is a 2-replaced pirimidine that does not come from the path of orthotic acid, but from acid 2.4-diaminobutyric acetylated in carbon nitrogen 4.
  • Pirazoles: Pirazol rings are not abundant in nature, and have chemotaxonomic value. One case is β-pirazole-1-il alanine and pyrazophrine.
BIOSINTESIS DE B-PIRAZOL-1-IL-ALANINA.png
  • Pyrid alkaloids[1,2-a]azepinic: Form in the sponge Niphates digitalis from subtheric aldehyde and 1.3-propanoamine (which comes from the descarboxylation of 2.4-diaminobutyric acid)
Pyrid alkaloid biosynthesis[1,2-a#Balepinics
Threonine

Several non-protein amino acids with toxic activity—such as hypoglycins, canalin, and canavalin—are thought to be derived from threonine.

Methionine

The nitrogenous secondary metabolites of methionine mainly consist of methionine glucosinolates, homomethionine and dihomomethionine. Goitrin is a 1,3-oxazolidine formed from the glucosinolate progoitrin. S-Adenosyl methionine is reactive enough to form an azetidine system, in the form of azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, which is the basis of the isopeptides known as mugineic acids. Some azetidines are presumed to be derived from this precursor, such as 3-azetidinone and 3,3-azetidynediol.

(S)-(-)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid.png
Goitrin.png
Acid (S)-(-)-2-Azetidinocarboxylic Goitrina
Nicotinate

Nicotinic acid is formed de novo in plants by condensation of a triose molecule and an iminoaspartate molecule (the imino derivative of aspartic acid), while in animals and fungi it can be formed by tryptophan catabolism. Nicotinic acid (pyridine-3-carboxylic acid) is the structural basis of many pyridine alkaloids. Fusaric acid is a pyridine alkaloid that is formed under the same condensation principle, but from aspartate and triacetic acid.

  • Pyridines: This vitamin can be discarded to give piridine, hydrogenated to form dihydropyridins or oxidize. Some pyridines related to nicotynic acid are the alkaloids of the palm Areca (Arecoline, guvacin), the seed of the ricin, the hermidine of the Mercurialis annua and the alholva's trinelin. Several plants of the Celastraceae family produce evoninic acid esters (nicotinic acid linked with a 2-methylbutyric acid molecule) and agarofuran type sesquiterpenos. Examples of these alkaloids are maytoline, mayine, acantotamine, evonin, neoevonin, euonimin, hypocratins, emarginatins.

Evonic acid General structure of the alkaloids of Celastraceae.
  • Bispiridines: The bis-pyridines are formed by the coupling of free radicals (Crisohermidina) or by condensation (Anatabine). Piridine rings can be coupled with other rings like in the case of nicotine (Pyrrolidynic ring) or anabasine (Pypiridine ring of lysine)

Alkaloids derived from amino acids of the glutamate family

RUTA DEL ALCALOIDES DEL GLUTAMATO-ORNITINA-PROLINA.png

Several alkaloids come from amino acids of the glutamate family (glutamine, glutamate, proline, ornithine, and arginine.

Glutamate and glutamine
  • When glutamine heterocyclizes at its ends, form the glutanimineWhich has a piperidine skeleton. When dimeriza forms the indigoidine (Estructura: 1.1',2,2',3,3',4,4'-octahidro-4,4'-bipiridina).
Indigoidina
  • Hydroxylate glutamate can form an isoxazole in a manner similar to cycloserin to form ibothenic acid, a non-proteinnic amino acid with an isoxazole heterocycle. This amino acid is the precursor of many mushroom isoxazoles Amanita muscaria, such as thigh and trichomal acid.
  • The lascivol is a glutamine amide and a polycetic precursor of the many indian structure compounds, such as 2.4-dimetilindol, (2-methyl-4-hydroxymethylndol, (2-methyl-4-methoximetilindol and 2.4-dimethyl-5-metoxindol
Proline

Proline and ornithine can form alkaloids with a pyrrolizidine nucleus; in fact, proline itself is a pyrrolizidine. From proline can be formed:

  • 2-pirrolocarboxylic acids as well as their brominated derivatives, isolated from sponges.
  • Stachyrin, present in betanic, is proline betaine.
  • Antibiotics beta-lactamic carbapenam type.
CARBAPENAM BIOSYNTHESIS.png
  • Many clavicipitous fungi produce alkaloids with 2-oxa-6-azatricicle skeleton[4.2.1.03.7]nonano, such as lolina and temulin, from proline and homoserine.

  • Prodigiosins are manirlic pigments produced by gender bacteria Serratia. The first pirrol ring is biosynthesized by the dehydrogenation of a proline thyoester with the enzyme:
Prodigiosine
Serratia marcescens, prodigiosine-producing bacteria
Prodigiosin Ring A.png

Subsequently, the 2-pyrrolecarbonyl residue is condensed with a new pyrrole ring of polyketide type origin:

Prodigiosin Ring B.png
Ornithine and arginine

Ornithine and arginine are related biosynthetically, since arginine comes from ornithine by adding a carbamyl group to the terminal nitrogen of ornithine with subsequent addition of an aspartate nitrogen (first 3 reactions of the urea cycle)

Ornithine forms alkaloids of two types: those derived from putrescine and those derived from the polyamines spermine, homospermine, and spermidine.

  • Derivatives of the rot: Putrescina can heterociclize to form the cation N- methyl-Δ1- Pyrroliny.. This metabolic intermediary can be incorporated into many routes such as:
(a) Training of 3-pirrolidin-2-il piridines, such as nicotine
(b) Training of azaazulens, such as (+)-5-epiindolizidine 167B.
(c) Formation of two acetyl units: By the same mechanism of the polycytes (Only the initiation unit is a magnet, so instead of a Claisen condensation a Mannich condensation is carried out. Thus form the higrine, cuscohigrine and dendrocrisanins. When the polycyte-type derivative heterocyclizes the tropane skeleton. Many tropical alkaloids form in solanaceae and erytroxylaceas, such as D., Atropa,Mandragora and Erythroxylon. Examples of these alkaloids are cocaine, hyosciamine, tropine, calistegins, schizantines, litorina, methelloidine and scopolamine.

Vochisina.png
Ficina Vochisina
  • Dendrocrisanins are pirrolidine rings with substitute cinamoyl in nitrogen.
Trans-Dendrocrisanina.png
  • Agaricone is a pigment produced by Agaricus xanthoderma.
-Polyamine derivatives: The homoesperidine can give a double cycling to produce biosynthetically pirrozilidinic alkaloids. The plants of the genus Seinethe monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus and other related lepidopteros (which consume the plant) and several orchids are the main producers of pirrolizidinic alkaloids:
Biosíntesis de alcaloides pirrolizidínicos.png

Examples of these alkaloids are falenopsin, lycopsamine, retronecin, creatonotins, calimorphine, supidine, rosmarinecin, otonecin, danaione, trachelantamidine, plataphyllin, sarracin, hastanecin, crotanecin, heliotridine, platynecin, turneforcidin, ipangulines, and mynalobins.

  • Many macrocyclic alkaloids come from spermine, as in the case of the lunarine (Insulation of the Lunaria annua(c):
Biosíntesis de la lunarina.png
  • The structure of motuporamins suggests an origin from polyamins and a medium-sized fatty acid:
Motuporaminas.png
  • Alkaloids of the Stemona: The species of the family Stemonaceae produce a large class of diverse alkaloids structurally related to the 4-Azaazulene core. Its roots have been used for the treatment of tuberculosis, bronchitis and parasitosis. Examples of these alkaloids are stenine, tuberostemonine, stemoamide, estemonine, neostemonine, chromomine and estemonidine.
GRUPOS DE ESTENINA - ESTEMOADINA.png
Tuberoestemonine
  • Alkaloids Elaeocarpus: The species of the genus Elaeocarpus produces a series of indolizidal alkaloids, but unlike those who are swansonin type, these alkaloids are presumed to come from the spermidine. They are classified into:
- Alkaloids 8-acilindolizidinics: Examples include the A-C eleokanins, E and D grandisins, isoelaeocarpicin and eleocarpenin.
- Alkaloid type eleokanidine: They present a skeleton base of pirrolo[2,1-f][1,6]naftiridina or 1H-pirano[2,3-g]indolizine. Examples of these alkaloids are the A-C eleokanidins and the D and E eleokanins.
- Alkaloid type eleocarpine: They present a skeleton base 12H-[1]benzopirano[2,3-g]indolizine, such as eleocarpine, pseudoepiisoeleocarpilin, grandisins C and F, rudrakina, eleocarpilin, aloeleocarpilin, epialoeleocarpilin, epiisoeleocarpilin, isoeleocarpilin, epieleocarpilin.

  • Verpacamides and peramide are anhydropeptides of arginine and proline:
Vercapamidas.png

Porphobilinogen derivatives

Porphobilinogen is the precursor of bilans, porphyrins, corrins, and bilins. Some insect-produced chromophore alkaloids derived from this compound are pterobilin, sarpedobilin, and forcabilin.

Alkaloids derived from lysine

Lysine can be biosynthesized by the diaminopimelate (DAP) pathway in fungi or by the α-aminoadipate (AAA) pathway. During its biosynthesis, metabolites such as picolinic acid and dipicolinic acid can be formed, which are isomers of nicotinic acid and quinolinic acid, respectively.

RUTAS DE LA LISINA.png

When lysine heterocyclizes, it forms the lysine lactam (Base skeleton: perhydroazepine). This lactam is the basis of the bengamides. Allysine is the transamination product of the amino terminal of lysine. Desmosine comes from this intermediate. Allysine can form pipecolic acid, which is a component of ascomycin and rapamycin. Decarboxylation of lysine produces cadaverine, which by heterocyclization produces Δ1-piperideine. This ring can form several alkaloid systems.

Lysine alkaloids can be classified as cadaverine derivatives and pipecholate derivatives.

  • Them derivatives of the are mainly those that come from the incorporation of a piperidina unit to various components, for example:
- Anaferin, peletierin and pseudopeletierin are derived from acetylation in a manner similar to the biosynthesis of the higrine and the tropane alkaloids.

Lobelina
- Pipingrin, nigramid R, pipercyclobutanamide C and the H and I shaves are examples of piperidine alkamides.
Piperin.svg
- Indolizidal alkaloids: Castanospermine comes biosynthetically from pipecolic acid. This is condensed with two acetate units by means of Claisen condensations in the same way as in polycets, thus generating the 1-indolizidinona, which is the precursor of many indolizidonic alkaloids. Examples of these alkaloids are castanospermine, swainsonine, pumiliotoxins, lentiginosine, polygonatins and monomorine. Mirmicarinas present an indolizidine skeleton fused with a pyrrol (Pirrolo[2,1,5-cd]indolizine. Indolizidal alkaloids may be fused with aromatic rings (Dibenzo[f,h]pirrolo[1,2-b]isoquinolin) as in the case of ficuseptins, chryptopleurine and thyloforin.

  • Alkaloids of Nitraria: Gerrit-Jan Koomen and Martin J. Wanner classified alkaloids Nitraria, two of which come exclusively from the lysine: the spiroalcaloids (For example, (+)-nitramine, (-)-isonitramine, (-)-sibirin, nitrabirin, nitrabirin oxide, and sibirinin) and mandiperidynic alkaloids (Schoberine, dehydroschoberine, sibiridine and dihydroschoberine)
Alcaloides de Nitraria.png
  • Acromelic acids: Insulated from the fungus Clitocybe acromelalga. They are biogenetically related to kainic acid and domoic acid. What is assured of all these alkaloids is the correlation with glutamic acid. Fusaric acid is condensed in a similar way, only forming a piridine alkaloid.

Alkaloids derived from phenylalanine and tyrosine

Phenylalanine and tyrosine are biosynthesized by the shikimic acid pathway, via chorismate, prephenate, and arylpyruvates. Plants and bacteria synthesize both amino acids by separate routes, while animals and fungi can obtain tyrosine by hydroxylation of phenylalanine.

The alkaloids of the tyrosine-phenylalanine amino acids are a very broad and diverse group, which is why they will be classified by their biosynthesis into the following types:

(a) Alkaloids Securinega
(b) Alcoholic alkaloids
(c) Isoquinolynic alkaloids
(d) Alkaloids mesembrenoids
(e) Norbeladian alkaloids
(f) Anhydropeptides of aromatic amino acids
(g) Alkaloid cytoanics
(h) Alkaloids of the cycle-DOPA
(i) Dry alkaloids-DOPAs
Securinega alkaloids

Plants of the genus Securinega produce alkaloids with the base skeleton (6S,11bS)-6,11b-methane-3a,6,11a,11b-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-c]pyrido[1,2-a]azepine. This small group of 30 alkaloids seems to come biosynthetically from tyrosine and lysine, as is the case with securinine. Other examples are the securiniamines, sufruticodin, and the securinols A-D. Phylantidine has the structure methanofuro[2,3-d]pyrido[1,2-b][1,2]oxazocine. Sankawa et al. deduced that securinin may come from a tyrosine molecule and a cadaverine molecule. The lysine, cadaverine, and tyrosine precursors were the ones that showed the highest incorporation. Degradation experiments revealed that [1,5-14C]-cadaverine specifically labeled the piperidine ring of securinin and the radioactivity of DL-tyrosine-[2- 14C] was incorporated into the C-11 carbonyl of the lactone. Experiments with L-tyrosine[U-14C] and L-tyrosine-[3',5'-³H;U-14C] proves that the C6 – C2 fragment is derived from the aromatic ring and the C-2 and C-3 carbons of tyrosine.

Heterocycles formed by assembly
  • The phenylalanine anhydropeptides form 2.5-pirazinodium-type structures. These metabolites are widely distributed in mushrooms. Anhydropeptides can be diarylic (formed by a peptide condensation of two arilalanins, e.g. picrocceline, albonoursine, phenylalanin anhydride, cyclopenin, viridicatin, Piperafizina B, emeheterone.

Several fungi (Arachniotus, Aspergillus, Epicoccum) can carry out other condensations and by means of a reverse electrocyclization of an arene epoxide, polycyclic alkaloids such as al aranotine are formed. In this case a second cyclization is carried out, in which a polycyclic compound is formed. Aranotine additionally undergoes reverse electrocyclization from the corresponding arene epoxide to form an oxepine system.

Isoquinoline alkaloids

The isoquinoline alkaloids and tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids (THIQ) comprise a diverse range of compounds widely distributed mainly in the plant kingdom. It should be noted that these isoquinolines have an alkyl substituent at position 1. Any other substitution pattern suggests another biosynthetic pathway. Biogenetically they can be formed by a Pictet-Spengler reaction of a catecholamine with an aldehyde or an α-ketocarboxylic acid:

(a) The simple isoquinolins, which are formed by condensation of a catecholamine with acetaldehyde, glioxal, piruvato, formaldehyde, etc.
(b) Bencilisoquinolins, which comprise the wider group of all are formed by condensing a catecholamine with a fenilacetaldehyde.
(c) Fenetilisoquinolins, which are formed by condensing a catecholamine with a phenylpropanal.
(d) The unsuccessful alkaloids, where the aldehyde is an iridoid.

- Alkaloids bisbencilisoquinolynics: They are produced by couplings of free radicals and are connected by one, two or three ether or biphenyl links. Monomeric units are mainly hydroxylated or metoxylated benzyles. Aporphine may contain aporphine components. This large group of alkaloids can be divided into five categories, according to the Shamma classification:
(a) Alkaloids that only present coupled arilo groups. From the bark Popowia floorcarpa a group of 7 alkaloids that have links between C-11 and C-11' have been isolated. Some examples are the pisopowetina and the pisopowiaridina.
Pisopowina
(b) Alkaloids containing only one ether link: Ether links are commonly found in C-11 and C-12' carbons, such as dauricin, C-11 and C-10', as in vanuatin, between C-10 and C-7' as malekulatin and ambrinine, C-11 and C-7', as in the nephenine.

(d) Alkaloids containing 2 ether links: The largest simple subgroup containing two ether links has the berbamano skeleton, p. axim. berbamine. Another group of alkaloids are those of the oxiacanno type, such as oxiacantin, for example oxiacantin, which is connected in C-8 and C-7' carbons and between C-12 and C-13'. This group includes the talicberano (C-8 to C-6' and C-11 to C-12'), talidasano (C-8 to C-5¢ and C-11 to C-12'), and talmano (C-7 to C-5' and C-11 to C-12'). All these types contain links between benzyl rings and between the aromatic rings of the tetrahydroisocynolynic component. The hose contains ether links between the benzyl ring of one unit and the aromatic ring of the isochinoline component of the other unit.

The Amaryllidaceae family produces a group of alkaloids whose precursor is norbeladin, an amine formed by the reduction of the Schiff base formed between protocatechuic aldehyde and tyramine. Norbeladin can couple the two aromatic rings it presents by free radicals. Thus, different structures can be formed according to the pattern of coupling of the rings. Norbeladin, cryptostilline I, cherillin, and nivalidin, galantamine, hemantidine, tazetin, and pancracin. Montanina. Lycorine, Lycorenine. Narcyclasine. Mainly there are skeletons type:

Cytochalasins and Pseurotins

Cytochalasins are polyketide alkaloids that consist of an amide of the carboxylic end of the polyketide with the amino group of phenylalanine. Subsequently, this system condenses to form a pyrrolone and subsequently an intramolecular Diels Alder reaction occurs.

Cytochalasin D.png

Pseurotins are spirofuropyrrolic polyketide alkaloids produced by a precursor polyketide that forms an amide with phenylalanine. Subsequently, the heterocyclization of pyrrole is formed and, finally, spirolactam with subsequent oxidations. Cephalimysins are alkaloids with biosynthesis related to pseurotins.

Cyclo-DOPA alkaloids

Dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) can form 2,3-dihydroindole called cycloDOPA. This compound can form intermediate indoles. When this compound polymerizes, cyclizes, or condenses with cysteine, it forms eumelanins and pheomelanins.

BIOSÍNTESIS DE EUMELANINAS.png
Seco-DOPA alkaloids
  • Betalains. The basis of these alkaloid pigments is the betamic acidwhich is formed by the oxidative excision of the DOPA. When betalamic acid forms magnets with nitrogen of amino acids, they form betalains. They are classified into two types: Betacianins, which are iminous salts of the DOPA cycle, and the betaxanthins, which are magnets with amino acids or biogenic amines. These secondary metabolites of nitrogenated plants act as red and yellow pigments. They are present only in the Caryophyllales taxon except Caryophyllaceae and Molluginaceae (Clement) et al. 1994). In contrast, most other plants have pigments that are anthocyanins (which belong to the group of flavonoids). Betalains and anthocyanins are mutually exclusive, so when betalains are found on a plant, anthocyanins will be absent, and vice versa. Some fungi also present these compounds, called muscaaurines. When instead of forming a heterocyclus of six members (such as betamic acid) it forms one of seven, it is called muscaflavina, and the magnets are called higroaurines.

Pyocyanin is a phenazine alkaloid that is one of the many toxins produced and secreted by the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pyocyanin is a blue-colored secondary metabolite with the ability to oxidize and reduce other molecules and thus can kill microbes that compete against P. aeruginosa as well as cells from the lungs of mammals to which P. aeruginosa has infected during cystic fibrosis. Chorismic acid is the precursor of pyocyanin, in which an amino intermediate is formed that, when assembled with two different tautomeric units, generates phenazine-1-carboxylic acid. This compound is a precursor to other phenazines.

Genalkaloids

Genalkaloids —or alkaloid amino oxides— are derived by oxidation from alkaloids that contain the group R=(NO)-R, where nitrogen has a valence V, as opposed to normal alkaloids, where it is trivalent (R =N-R). Its action is the same as that of the alkaloid from which they come, but it is slower. They are named by adding the prefix gen- to the name of the alkaloid.

Some genoalkaloids are found in nature, such as geneserine (derived from the alkaloid eserine (physostigmine)) present in the Calabar bean, as well as sarcoviolins and sarcodonins.

Pseudoalkaloids

Pseudoalkaloids are secondary metabolites that have a nitrogen atom incorporated as ammonia into a biomolecule such as a terpene, polyketide, fatty acid, or shikimic acid derivative.

Chemotaxonomy

Alkaloids have been found in gymnosperms such as Cycas, Pinus, Ephedra and Podocarpus. Alkaloids have been isolated from many living systems other than plants, including bacteria, cnidarians, sponges, true fungi, vertebrates, and arthropods.

In the families Amaryllidaceae, Fabaceae, Liliaceae, Papaveraceae and Rutaceae, alkaloids have great chemotaxonomic value. The Solanaceae family is rich in alkaloids, but with differences at the genus level. Thus, in tobacco (Nicotiana) there are derivatives of pyridine (nicotine), in Solanum (potato, eggplant, tomato) there are spirosolane pseudoalkaloids (tomatine) and Datura, Hyoscyamus, Atropa and Scopolia contain tropane derivatives: hyoscyamine, atropine, etc.

Pyrrolizidines are found primarily in the families Compositae, Boraginaceae, Leguminosae, and Apocynaceae. The producing genera of these alkaloids are distributed in different regions and climates and could represent up to 3% of flowering plants. Some contain only one class of pyrrolizidine, but most contain between five and eight classes. The content varies with each species, but it can be a significant percentage of the dry weight. The highest concentration is found in the roots and is higher in young leaves, inflorescences and flower buds than in older leaves. In some species, high concentrations were found in seeds, which implies a risk in cases where these seeds are used for human consumption. There are N-oxides of these alkaloids, which are more soluble in water and are more easily transported within the plant.
