Solanaceae plants

The cell walls of the Solanaceae plant species contain the XXGG type of XGs [247,275]. Suspension-cultured tobacco cells secrete a XG, bearing disaccharide side chains (11) [276], as similarly reported for XGs of other solana-ceous plants. The XG from suspension-cultured tomato cells is more complex, as it also contains the unusual / -L-Ara/-(1 3)-o -L-Ara/-(1 2)-a-D-Xylp trisaccharide side-chain (12) in addition to the prevaiUng dimeric moiety (13) [277]. 

Plants containing indoleamines include Psilocybe mushrooms, morning glory and Virola. Plants containing tropane alkaloids such as the muscarinic antagonists scopolamine and atropine are found in some members of the Solanaceae plant family—including datura, mandrake, henbane and...

Heterocycles which are not biosynthesized in humans, but which are natural products produced by other life forms, are very important in the history of drug design. This is particularly true of alkaloids containing a piperidine ring. These include coniine (8.87, extracted from poison hemlock, Conium maculatum, a member of the Umbelliferae carrot family), atropine (from Atropa belladonna and other genera of the Solanaceae plant family the plant was called belladonna [ beautiful woman ] since it was used by... 

Withanolides. Withanolides are Cis-steroidal lactones that are isolated from the Solanaceae plant family. Withanolides are characterized by an ergostane-type skeleton, the Cl 7-side chain of which is transformed into a six-member lactone ring. The withanolides and the related crgostancs arc tile only known natural steroids obtained Ifum the same family dial have representatives with both a- and -orientations of the Cl7 side chain.

Atropine does not occur as such in the solanaceae plants but is formed from the hyoscyamine present by treatment with dilute alkalies, when isomerization takes place and the inactive form of the alkaloid is obtained. It is crystalline, m.p. 115.5°, and only slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohol and chloroform. The salts are crystalline and soluble in water.

Another common property of the three commercial MBI-Ds that is not shared by MBI-Rs is specific systemic damage to Solanaceae plants. The relevance of this specific sensitivity and MBI-D activity has not been investigated. However, since MBI-s are exclusively used in an isolated environment for rice, this is not regarded as a serious problem in practice.

For example, the main active component of (1) is muscimol, formed by decarboxylation ofibotenic acid. On the other hand, the plants (2), (5), and (9) are all Solanaceae plants and as the active components of these plants. 

Datura tatula and Datura stramonium are Solanaceae plants from the North American continent, and now grow naturally in various places in Japan. Leaves of these plants are known as Datura leaves or Mandala leaves and contain (—)-hyoscyamine.They are used as materials for producing atropine sulfate.

During crop gathering, some parts of Solanaceae plants may be occasionally included. A method for the simultaneous determination of tropine, atropine, scopolamine, homatropine, anisodamine, a-solanine, and a-chaconine in grains and seeds (wheat, rye, maize, soybean, linseed) has been reported by Jandric et al. [84]. The analytes were separated by isocratic HPLC on a Chirobiotic V column and detected by ESl-MS/MS detector operating in the MRM mode. The method performances were presented in terms of linearity in the range 5-80 ng g, specificity, selectivity, accuracy (recoveries from 61 % to 111 %), precision (CV <5 %), and ruggedness. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) were in the range 2.2-4.9 ng g . ...
