Sarpagine-related indole alkaloids (-)-hydroxygardnerine, (+)-hydroxygardnutine, (-)-gardnerine, (+)-(E)-16-epi-normacusine B, and (-)-koumine were divergently synthesized via a common intermediate possessing a piperidine ring with an exocyclic (E)-ethylidene side chain, which was constructed by a gold(I)-catalyzed 6-exo-dig cyclization strategy.

The first enantiospecific total synthesis of gardnerine and gardnutine has been achieved from 6-methoxy-d-tryptophan via the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction, a stereocontrolled intramolecular enolate driven palladium-mediated cross-coupling reaction a
CHARACTERISTICS OF VELLOSIMINE REDUCTASE, A SPECIFIC ENZYME INVOLVED IN THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF THE RAUWOLFIA ALKALOID SARPAGINE

A plant enzyme - vellosimine reductase - has been isolated from Rauwolfia cell suspension cultures.This new enzyme has been purified (110-fold) and characterized.The reductase is a specific enzyme of the sarpagine pathway catalyzing the NADPH dependent conversion of vellosimine into 10-deoxysarpagine.The latter alkaloid is the immediate biogenetic precursor of sarpagine as shown by its high in vivo incorporation rate (86percent) into sarpagine.
