2 Presentation utline PART 1: Stemona Alkaloids - Stemona plants & historical uses - Stemona alkaloids: isolation, classification, biological properties, etc - Selected previous total syntheses and Wipf group work - Current approaches PART 2: Ergot Alkaloids - Ergot & history of ergotism - Ergot alkaloids: isolation, classification, biological properties, etc - Current approaches Anthony Wipf Group 2 11/12/2005

3 PART 1: Stemona Alkaloids Anthony Wipf Group 3 11/12/2005

4 Family: Stemonaceae A monocotyledon family made up of three genera: 1. Stemona - About 25 species, occurring from southern Asia and Malaysia to northern Australia 2. Croomia - Three species from Atlantic orth America and Japan 3. Stichoneuron - Two species from eastern Asia at. Prod. Rep. 2000, 17, 117 Stemona plants occur as subshrubs or twining herbs, mostly with perennial tuberous roots Stemona Tuberosa Stemona Sessifolia Stemona Sessifolia Anthony Wipf Group 4 11/12/2005

5 Stemonaceae: istorical Uses Extracts from plants of the Stemonaceae family (Stemona and Croomia genera) have been used for centuries in Eastern folk medicines Example: Extracts from the tuberous roots of Stemona Tuberosa, Stemona Japonica and Stemona Sessifolia have been used by the Chinese and Japanese for: - Respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis and bronchitis - Antihelmintics in humans and cattle - Insecticides J. Agric. Food. Chem. 2002, 50, Anthony Wipf Group 5 11/12/2005

6 Stemona Alkaloids: Isolation & Structural Elucidation Phytochemical studies have been limited to only eight species, mostly from Stemona Progress hampered by use of incorrectly identified plant material - caused by popular use of tuberous roots from different species sold on the market under the same names, eg. Bai Bu in China and Bach Bo in Vietnam Tuberostemonine was the first Stemona alkaloid to be isolated in 1934 by Suzuki Structure of tuberostemonine was determined by the combined efforts of a number of groups in the 1960 s using various methods: MR, MS, X-ray and chemical analysis Tuberostemonine Since then more than 42 Stemona alkaloids have been isolated, mostly by Ren-sheng Xu and coworkers in the 80 s. The various structures were determined by X-ray analysis, spectroscopic methods and/or chemical studies Anthony Wipf Group 6 11/12/2005

7 Structural Classification of Stemona Alkaloids Large majority of the Stemona alkaloids are structurally characterized by the presence of a pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine core a 5 Each member of the Stemona alkaloid family can be classified into five main groups according to their structural features - the name of each group being the name of the simplest member: Et Stemoamide Stemonamine Stenine Tuberostemospironine Parvistemoline A sixth miscellaneous group of compounds also exist where each member lacks the common azepine ring system at. Prod. Rep. 2000, 17, 117 Anthony Wipf Group 7 11/12/2005

8 Structural Classification of Stemona Alkaloids Stenine group Stenine Tuberostemonine Tuberostemonine A Tuberostemonol Didehydrotuberostemonine Bisdehydroneotuberostemonine eotuberostemonine Parvistemoline group Parvistemoline Parvistemonine Didehydroparvistemonine Stemoamide group Stemoamide Stemonine eostemonine Bisdehydroneostemonine Protostemonine Didehydroprotostemonin e Isoprotostemonine Tuberostemoamide Stemoninine Tuberostemospironine group Tuberostemospironine Croomine Stemospironine Stemotinine Isostemotinine Stemonidine Didehydrocroomine Stemonamine group Stemonamine Isostemonamine Stemonamide Isostemonamide Maistemonine xymaistemonine Miscellaneous group Stemofoline xystemofoline thoxystemofoline Parvistemoninine Parvistemoninol Tuberostemonone Tuberostemoninol Parvistemoamide Anthony Wipf Group 8 11/12/2005

9 Biological Studies on Stemona Alkaloids Limited evidence that any pure Stemona alkaloid has therapeutic potential in humans Tuberostemonine has antihelmintic activity Tuberostemonine found to be a glutamate inhibitor (blocks neuromuscular transmission) in crayfish Brain Res. 1985, 334, 33 Tuberostemonine has potent antifeeding activity J. Agric. Food. Chem. 2002, 50, 6383 Stemonine, stemospironine and stemofoline have some insecticidal activity, eg. active against Bombyx mori (silkworm larvae) Agric. Biol.

20 PART 2: Ergot Alkaloids Anthony Wipf Group 20 11/12/2005

21 Ergot: Claviceps purpurea Ergot: riginates from an old French word argot, meaning spur Ergot is a fungal disease of rye and other cereal crops - invades grain and replaces them with hard fungal bodies called sclerotia (resting body of a fungus) Ergot fungal growth is suited to cool, damp climates - common in Europe, especially France and Germany Anthony Wipf Group 21 11/12/2005

22 Ergotism/istory Ergotism is a disease which occurred frequently in the Middle Ages - caused by the ingestion of food made with grains infected with ergot, eg. bread Two types of ergotism: 1. Gangrenous form: Intense burning pain in limbs and gangrene due to vasoconstrictive properties of ergot. In severe cases, limbs would become black and dry (mummify) TE: Ergotism was also known as oly fire or St. Anthony s fire abdellab.sunderland.ac.uk grandfinale.at.infoseek.co.jp Anthony Wipf Group 22 11/12/2005

23 Ergotism/istory 2. Convulsive form: Sufferers could become delirious, lethargic, manic and have hallucinations with double vision due to neurotoxic properties of ergot. In extreme cases, epileptic-type seizures leading to death Ergotism and witchcraft? Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 in orth America may have been due to ergotism engines/epi1037.htm The last reported European outbreak of ergotism occurred in 1951 in a French village - caused more than 200 cases and 4 deaths Modern drug discovery, 1999, 2, 20-21, 23-24, 28, 31 Anthony Wipf Group 23 11/12/2005

24 Ergot Alkaloids The first ergot alkaloid to be isolated from sclerotia of the ergot fungus was ergotamine in 1918 by Stoll Stoll, A.: Swiss patent (1918); German patent (1922) The natural ergot alkaloids (>40) contain either lysergic acid (pharmacologically active, name ends with -ine) or isolysergic acid (pharmacologically inactive, name ends with -inine) as the parent structure Lysergic acid C 2 Isolysergic acid C 2 Chem. Rev. 1950, The ergot alkaloids are classified into three main groups: 1. Clavine type - Simplest members considered as precursors to the other groups of ergot alkaloids in the biogenetic pathway 2. Water-soluble lysergic acid type: Are often amide derivatives of lysergic and isolysergic acids 3. Water-insoluble lysergic acid type: Are mainly peptide derivatives of lysergic and isolysergic acids The Lancet eurology, 2003, 2, 429 Anthony Wipf Group 24 11/12/2005

25 Biological activity The ergot alkaloids possess a wide spectrum of biological activity - act on the CS Derivatives of lysergic acid have affinities for the receptors of the neurotransmitters noradrenaline, dopamine and seratonin - possibly due to structural analogy between the ergoline ring system and these neurotransmitters They may act as agonists, antagonists or play a dual role as partial-agonist and antagonist CR C Lysergic acid derivative oradrenaline Dopamine Serotonin Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 2001, 57, 593 Anthony Wipf Group 25 11/12/2005

26 Ergot alkaloids - examples and uses Ph Ergotamine Migraine relief Br 2-Bromo-!-ergokryptine Semisynthetic - anti-parkinson's - reduce lactation in women thysergide Semisynthetic - Migraine relief Ergonovine - Induces labour (oxytocic) - Decrease excessive uterine bleeding post-childbirth Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) Synthetic derivative of lysergic acid - Powerful hallucinogen Anthony Wipf Group 26 11/12/2005
