  1. BIOSYNTHESIS OF INDOLE ALKALOIDS

  2. INDOLE ALKALOIDS Biggest single class of alkaloids - more than 1500 known. Indole alkaloids come from trytophan which originates from the shikimic acid pathway. Many are of mixed-origin using geraniol, a terpene as a precursor.

  15. There are a variety of alkaloids that have tryptophan and geraniol as their precursors. The geraniol precursor can yield a variety of skeletal pieces as it rearranges readily via a pathway containing two intermediates called loganin and secologanin. geraniol loganin secologanin

  16. SECOLOGANIN Secologanin has so much functionality that it can open bonds, rotate and make new bonds, easily rearranging the carbon skeleton. Three principal skeleton types are shown below. These combine with tryptamine to form alkaloids (some examples are given). IRIDOIDS IRIDANE SKELTON Corynanthe type akuammicine secologanin Iboga type Aspidosperma type tabersonine catharanthine
