receptor agonist activity. Study of the biosynthesis of higenamine has shown the participation of norcoclaurine synthase, which controls the stereochemistry to construct the (S)-isomer. However, when isolated from nature, higenamine is found as the racemate, or even the (R)-isomer. We recently reported the isolation of higenamine 4′-O-β-d-glucoside. Herein, its (R)- and (S)-isomers were synthesized and compared
Higenamine 是一种

肾上腺素能受体激动剂活性。对higenamine
生物合成的研究表明,去
甲紫杉碱合酶参与控制立体
化学以构建(S)-异构体。然而,当从自然界中分离出来时,higenamine 被发现是外消旋物,甚至是 (R)-异构体。我们最近报道了higenamine 4'-O-β-d-
葡萄糖苷的分离。在此,合成并比较了其 (R)-和 (S)-异构体,以精确确定分离物的立体
化学。由于它们相似的光谱特性,基于 NMR 数据确定立体
化学被认为是不合适的。因此,建立了高效
