1.14.11.11 | drug development |
tropane alkaloids, such as hyoscyamine, 6-hydroxyhyoscyamine and scopolamine, are secondary metabolites that are traditionally applied in medicine due to their anticholinergic activity. An alternative strategy for the production of the most valuable alkaloids, 6beta-hydroxyhyoscyamine and scopolamine, using Escherichia coli harboring the hyoscyamine-6beta-hydroxylase enzyme as biocatalysts is developed |

1.14.11.11 | pharmacology |
tropane alkaloids including hyoscyamine, anisodamine, scopolamine and anisodine, are used medicinally as anticholinergic agents with increasing market demand, improvement of production by metabolic engineering introduction of genes encoding the branch-controlling enzyme tropinone reductase I and the downstream rate-limiting enzyme hyoscyamine-6beta-hydroxylase |

1.14.11.11 | synthesis |
overexpression of the enzyme (H6H) enhances the biosynthesis of anisodamine and scopolamine in hairy root cultures of Scopolia lurida, which should improve its commercial value. The tropane alkaloids anisodamine and and scopolamine are clinically used as anticholinergic agents |
