产品描述

Mesembrine is an alkaloid that has been found in S. tortuosum and has serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitory activity.1 It selectively binds to the 5-HT transporter (SERT; IC50 = 4.3 µg/ml) over a variety of receptors (IC50s = 148->750 µg/ml).2 Mesembrine inhibits the reuptake of 5-HT in vitro (Ki = 1.4 nM). It has analgesic effects in the hot plate test when administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg but does not induce a preference in the conditioned place preference test (CPP).2,3

Mesembrine: The archetypal psycho-active Sceletium alkaloid

Phytochemistry 2019 Oct;166:112061.PMID:31299396DOI:10.1016/j.phytochem.2019.112061.

(-)-Mesembrine is a chiral alkaloid that features an aryloctahydroindole skeleton and is most commonly found in species of the succulent genus Sceletium. Several Sceletium species are used by various ethnic groups in South Africa to manage disorders of the central nervous system. Binding assays have revealed that Mesembrine is a more potent inhibitor of the serotonin transporter (SERT) than fluoxetine (Prozac) which has prompted the commercialization of mesembrine-containing consumer products. The congested all carbon quaternary stereocenter present at the bridgehead of Mesembrine has rendered it a compound of interest for research in synthetic chemistry, which has assisted in the absolute configuration of the naturally occurring isomer to be assigned. Accordingly, this review will cover the recent literature pertaining to the distribution, structural elucidation, chemotaxonomy, biosynthesis, organic synthesis, as well as the biological activities of (-)-mesembrine. Recent synthetic procedures of the non-natural enantiomer as well as the racemate are also considered.

Mesembrine alkaloids: Review of their occurrence, chemistry, and pharmacology

J Ethnopharmacol 2017 Jan 4;195:10-19.PMID:27939420DOI:10.1016/j.jep.2016.12.004.

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Mesembrine alkaloids are considered to be the primary active constituents of the South African medicinal plant Sceletium tortuosum (L.) N.E.Br. (Aizoaceae), and it is used as the dried or fermented aerial material from the plant, which is known as kanna (aka, channa, kougoed). Traditional regional use ranged from relieving thirst, mild analgesia, and alteration of mood. Current interest has focused primarily on the antidepressant action of preparations based on the plant and commercialization is expanding the recognition and availability of these preparations. Materials and methods: Searches for the keywords "Sceletium or Mesembrine" were performed in "PubMed-NCBI", "Chemical Abstracts SciFinder" and "Thomson Reuters Web of Science" databases in addition to the inclusion of references cited within prior reviews and scientific reports. Additionally the "SciFinder" database was searched using 3a-phenyl-cis-octahydroindole in the SciFinder Substructure Module (SSM). Plant taxonomy was validated by the database "The Plant List". Results: This review focuses on the chemistry, analysis, and pharmacology of the Mesembrine alkaloids. Despite a long history of medicinal used and research investigation, there has been a renewed interest in the pharmacological properties of the Mesembrine alkaloids and much of the pharmacology has only recently been published. The two major active alkaloids Mesembrine and mesembrenone are still in the process of being more fully characterized pharmacologically. They are serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which provides a rationale for the plant's traditional use as an antidepressant, but other actions are beginning to appear in the literature. Additionally, mesembrenone has reasonably potent PDE4 inhibitory activity. This review intends to provide an overview of the available literature, summarize the current findings, and put them in perspective with earlier studies and reviews.

A Concise Total Synthesis of (-)-Mesembrine

J Org Chem 2016 Nov 4;81(21):10165-10171.PMID:27723969DOI:10.1021/acs.joc.6b01908.

A concise total synthesis of Mesembrine (four steps from known compound) was achieved both racemically and asymmetrically. Two key reactions were used here. One is the Rh(I)-catalyzed [5 + 1] cycloaddition of vinylcyclopropane 3c and CO. The other one is Buchwald's Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction that coupled β,γ-cyclohexenone 2c with aryl bromide 5 (using dppe ligand for racemic or (S)-Antphos ligand for asymmetric synthesis) to give γ,γ-disubstituted α,β-cyclohexenone 1c. Finally, aza-Michael addition converted 1c to Mesembrine.

Quantification of Mesembrine and mesembrenone in mouse plasma using UHPLC-QToF-MS: Application to a pharmacokinetic study

Biomed Chromatogr 2017 Mar;31(3).PMID:27526669DOI:10.1002/bmc.3815.

Sceletium tortuosum, is an indigenous herb of South Africa which is widely used as an herbal supplement in the treatment of anxiety and stress. Mesembrenone and Mesembrine are the two main pharmacologically active alkaloids present in the extract. Despite the wide therapeutic applications of Sceletium extract, there are no reports of in vivo pharmacokinetic properties or analytical methods to quantify these two important alkaloids in plasma. Therefore, the current study aimed to develop and validate a simple and sensitive analytical method for simultaneous quantification of mesembrenone and Mesembrine in mouse plasma. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC/QToF-MS) was employed to achieve our objectives. The compounds were extracted using protein precipitation by methanol (100%) with quinine as an internal standard. The lower limit of quantification for both the compounds was 10 ng/mL. The extraction recovery was between 87 and 93% for both compounds with no matrix effects on the analysis. The accuracy was between 89.5 and 106% and precision was <12.6% for all quality control samples. This validated method was successfully applied to evaluate the i.v. plasma pharmacokinetics of Mesembrine and mesembrenone in mouse. However, the oral bioavailability of these alkaloids was poor and the plasma levels were below the detection limits.

HPLC analysis of mesembrine-type alkaloids in Sceletium plant material used as an African traditional medicine

J Pharm Pharm Sci 2010;13(4):558-70.PMID:21486531DOI:10.18433/j3dk5f.

Purpose: Sceletium plant species have been reported to contain psychoactive alkaloids, specifically belonging to mesembrine-type alkaloids. Sceletium is presently marketed through health shops and on the internet as dried plant powder and as pharmaceutical dosage forms and purported to be useful in the treatment of psychological disorders. However, there are no validated analytical methods and reference standards of the relevant alkaloids are not commercially available for use in the analysis and quality control of Sceletium products and dosage forms. Hence, the objective of this research was to isolate and characterize appropriate analytical markers for use in the assay and as well as markers for fingerprinting by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Methods: The separation of the relevant alkaloids was carried out on a C18 column and detected at a UV wavelength of 228 nm. The method was validated and used to assay the mesembrine-type alkaloids namely Δ(7)mesembrenone, mesembranol, mesembrenone, Mesembrine and epimesembranol. Results: The calibration curves were found to be linear over the entire concentration range of 400-60,000 ng/ml with correlation coefficients >0.99. The accuracies of the relevant alkaloids were found to be between 94.8 and 103.6% with an inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 2.8%. The precision studies showed inter-day RSD's of less than 3%. The recoveries were all within the range of 95 and 105% (RSD <4.5%) and the limits of quantitation (LOQ) and detection (LOD) were found to be 100 and 200 ng/ml respectively using the respective S/N ratios of 3 and 10. Conclusions. An HPLC method for the quantitative analysis of Δ(7)mesembrenone, mesembranol, mesembrenone, Mesembrine and epimesembranol in Sceletium plant material has been developed and validated. This assay method can be applied for the quality control of Sceletium plant material which is used as an African Traditional Medicine for the treatment of psychological disorders.
