Norzoanthamine is a zoanthamine-type alkaloid from the colonial zoanthid Zoanthus sp. Norzoanthamine hydrochloride, which suppresses the decrease in bone weight and strength in ovariectomized mice, could be a good candidate for an osteoporotic drug. Although the relative configuration of norzoanthamine was established based on an X-ray crystallographic analysis, the absolute stereochemistry of norzoanthamine remains unclear. To investigate their biogenesis and mechanisms of biological action, we conducted chemical and spectroscopic studies to determine the absolute configuration of norzoanthamines.
盐酸去甲安息香酸去甲安息香酸能抑制卵巢切除小鼠骨重和骨强度的下降,是骨质疏松症药物的良好候选物。虽然根据 X 射线晶体学分析确定了去甲安息香酸的相对构型,但去甲安息香酸的绝对立体化学结构仍不清楚。为了研究它们的生物生成和生物作用机制,我们进行了化学和光谱研究,以确定去甲斑蝥胺的绝对构型。
