The C-26 amino group of steroidal alkaloids, such as tomatine, is introduced during an early step of their biosynthesis from cholesterol. In the present study, the mechanism of C-26 amination was reinvestigated by administering stable isotope labeled compounds, such as (26,26,26,27,27,27- 2H6)cholesterol during biosynthesis of tomatine, solanine and solasonine. The chemical compositions of tomatine and solanine so obtained were analyzed by LC-MS after administering the d6-cholesterol to a tomato seedling and a potato shoot, respectively. The resulting spectra indicated that two deuterium atoms were eliminated from C-26 of cholesterol during biosynthesis. Furthermore, administration of (6-13C 2H3)mevalonate in combination with lovastatin to an eggplant seedling, followed by GC-MS analysis of solasodine after TMS derivatization established that two deuterium atoms were eliminated from C-26 of cholesterol during solasonine biosynthesis. These findings are in contrast to an earlier observation that one hydrogen atom was lost from C-26 during tomatidine biosynthesis, and suggest that C-26 nitrogen atom addition involves an aldehyde intermediate. Thus, it is proposed that the C-26 amination reaction that occurs during steroidal alkaloid biosynthesis proceeds by way of a transamination mechanism.

Class F G protein-coupled receptors are characterized by a large extracellular domain (ECD) in addition to the common transmembrane domain (TMD) with seven α-helixes. For smoothened receptor (SMO), structural studies revealed dissected ECD and TMD, and th

The invention relates to the technical field of biology, particularly to a smooth receptor ligand, and provides a smooth receptor ligand or an isomer prodrug, a solvate and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the structural formula of the smooth receptor ligand is A-linker-B, A is an extracellular domain ligand structure, B is a transmembrane domain ligand structure, and Linker isa linear subunit inactive to the smooth receptor. According to the novel double-end small molecule ligand for the smooth receptor, by combining the crystal structure data of the smooth receptor, a linker is introduced into the proper sites of an extracellular domain ligand and a transmembrane domain ligand to obtain brand-new double-end ligand small molecules, so that the interaction between the ligand and the receptor and the biological activity of the ligand are enhanced.
