Vinervine is a monoterpene indole alkaloid of the Vinca sub-group. It is a derivative of akuammicine, with one additional hydroxy (OH) group in the indole portion, hence it is also known as 12-hydroxyakuammicine.

History

[edit]

The alkaloids are a large group of natural products which are classified according to the part-structure which members of a particular group contain. Vinervine is a monoterpene indole alkaloid of the Vinca sub-group which shares a common biosynthesis with other members, namely that they are derived from strictosidine.[1][2] It was first characterised in 1964[3] and the structures of closely related materials including akuammicine were confirmed in 1983.[4]

Natural occurrence

[edit]
Crape Jasmine (Tabernaemontana divaricata), a source of vinervine

Vinervine is found in a variety of plants of the Apocynaceae family, including Vinca erecta,[3][5][6] Tabernaemontana divaricata[7][8] and several other flowering plants species that are native to Africa, Asia, and Europe.

Biosynthesis

[edit]

As with other indole alkaloids, the biosynthesis of vinervine starts from the amino acid tryptophan. This is converted into strictosidine before further elaboration.[1]

Research

[edit]

Plant metabolites have long been studied for their biological activity and alkaloids in particular are major subjects for ethnobotanical research.[9] However, vinervine has had little reported utility.[8][10][11]
