This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: The chembox and Wikidata item designate the (15R)-stereoisomer, but most sources use "stemmadenine" to refer to the (15S)-stereoisomer. (May 2023) |
Stemmadenine is a terpene indole alkaloid. Stemmadenine is believed to be formed from preakuammicine by a carbon-carbon bond cleavage. Cleavage of a second carbon-carbon bond is thought to form dehydrosecodine.[1] The enzymes forming stemmadenine and using it as a substrate remain unknown to date. It is thought to be intermediate compound in many different biosynthetic pathways[2][3][4] such as in Aspidosperma species.[5] Many alkaloids are proposed to be produced through intermediate stemmadenine. Some of them are:
- Catharanthine and Tabersonine in Catharanthus roseus[4][2]
- Subincanadines D-F in Aspidosperma subincanum[3]
