BIOSYNTHESIS OF
INDOLE ALKALOIDS
Indole alkaloids come from trytophan which originates
from the shikimic acid pathway.
Many are of mixed-origin using geraniol, a terpene as
a precursor.
Biggest single class of alkaloids
- more than 1500 known.

TERPENOID INDOLE ALKALOIDS
There are a variety of alkaloids that have tryptophan
and geraniol as their precursors.
The geraniol precursor can yield a variety of skeletal
pieces as it rearranges readily via a pathway containing
two intermediates called loganin and secologanin.

SECOLOGANIN
Secologanin has so much functionality that it can open bonds, rotate and
make new bonds, easily rearranging the carbon skeleton. Three principal
skeleton types are shown below. These combine with tryptamine to form
alkaloids (some examples are given).
