8-Hydroxy-(+)- δ -cadinene is a precursor to hemigossypol in Gossypium hirsutum
摘要:
[H-3](+)-delta-Cadinene and its 8-hydroxy derivative, prepared from (1RS)-[1-H-3]FPP by the action of one and two recombinant enzymes, respectively, were infiltrated into cotyledons of bacterial blight-resistant cotton plants as they biosynthesized sesquiterpene phytoalexins in response to infection by Xanthomonas campestris pv. malvacearum. Following both treatments, tritium appeared in the HPLC fraction that contained hemigossypol. Hemigossypol was isolated from the cotyledons that had been treated with [H-3](+)-8-hydroxy-delta-cadinene and was trimethylsilylated and purified. In two experiments, specific radioactivity of the hemigossypol derivative indicated that 5% and 10%, respectively, of the [H-3](+)-8-hydroxy-delta-cadinene had been converted to hemigossypol.

Cyclization of FPP: Two new fungal sesquiterpene synthase are described that have opposite catalytic fidelities in the cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate. Catalytic promiscuity can be drastically reduced by changing the conditions of the reaction. Conversion of the FPP geometricisomers was found to proceed via opposite enantiomers of a cyclic carbocation intermediate that are rearranged to different

Epicubebol has been isolated from the methanol extracts of the brown alga Dictyopteris divaricata as the major constituent. Cadinane-type sesquiterpenes, cubebenes, δ-cadinene, cubenol, and epicubenol, as well as two sesquiterpene methyl ethers as minor constituents have also been obtained from the extracts.

Terpene synthases are responsible for a large diversity of terpene carbon skeletons found in nature. The multiproduct sesquiterpene synthase MtTPS5 isolated from Medicago truncatula produces 27 products from farnesyl diphosphate (1, FDP). In this paper, we report the reactionsteps involved in the formation of these products using incubation experiments with deuterium-containing substrates; we determined

initial 1,10‐cyclisation‐1,3‐hydride shift cascades. Enzymes with products of known absolute configuration showed a coherent stereochemical course, except for (−)‐α‐amorphene synthase, for which the obtained results are better explained by an initial 1,6‐cyclisation. The link between the absolute configuration of the product and the stereochemical course of the 1,3‐hydride shifts enabled assignment of
E,E- and 2Z,6E-hedycaryol phenyl sulfides were converted by [2.3]sigmatropy of their sulfoxides to the same allyl alcohol which in turn afforded cadinane derivatives stereospecifically by the action of acids.
