摘要
精神活性天然产品在现代世界中发挥着不可或缺的作用。这类分子所展现的复杂结构赋予其显著的药用价值和社会文化影响的多样生物活性。因此,在过去两个世纪中,研究者们投入了大量精力来探究植物、动物和真菌如何从简单的代谢前体合成复杂的天然产品。近年来,基因组学数据和分子生物学工具的爆炸性增长,使得能够识别编码催化个别生物合成步骤的蛋白质的基因。一旦完全阐明,这些“生物合成途径”往往在优雅性和产量上与有机合成相媲美。此外,生物合成酶的发现提供了强大的催化剂,这些催化剂可以重新用于合成生物学应用,或与化学酶合成方法相结合。在本综述中,我们讨论了在四类精神活性天然产品(迷幻剂、兴奋剂、大麻素和阿片类药物)中,生物合成途径阐明的进展。我们识别了来源于不同生物合成途径的化合物——萜类、氨基酸、多聚酮,并重点介绍了关键骨架转化步骤的显著机制。我们还描述了生物合成机制的后续应用,强调了使异源生产得以实现的合成生物学和代谢工程策略。
英文摘要
Psychoactive natural products play an integral role in the modern world. The tremendous structural complexity displayed by such molecules confers diverse biological activities of significant medicinal value and sociocultural impact. Accordingly, in the last two centuries, immense effort has been devoted towards establishing how plants, animals, and fungi synthesize complex natural products from simple metabolic precursors. The recent explosion of genomics data and molecular biology tools has enabled the identification of genes encoding proteins that catalyze individual biosynthetic steps. Once fully elucidated, the "biosynthetic pathways" are often comparable to organic syntheses in elegance and yield. Additionally, the discovery of biosynthetic enzymes provides powerful catalysts which may be repurposed for synthetic biology applications, or implemented with chemoenzymatic synthetic approaches. In this review, we discuss the progress that has been made toward biosynthetic pathway elucidation amongst four classes of psychoactive natural products: hallucinogens, stimulants, cannabinoids, and opioids. Compounds of diverse biosynthetic origin - terpene, amino acid, polyketide - are identified, and notable mechanisms of key scaffold transforming steps are highlighted. We also provide a description of subsequent applications of the biosynthetic machinery, with an emphasis placed on the synthetic biology and metabolic engineering strategies enabling heterologous production.

主要方法/材料/实验设计
研究采用了系统的文献回顾和实验数据分析方法,聚焦于四类精神活性天然产物的生物合成路径:迷幻药、兴奋剂、大麻素和阿片类药物。以下是主要的技术路线图:
关键结果和发现
- 迷幻药:迷幻药的生物合成主要依赖于色氨酸和酪氨酸等氨基酸的转化。相关酶如色氨酸脱羧酶和甲基转移酶在合成过程中起关键作用。
- 兴奋剂:如咖啡因的合成途径揭示了其从黄嘌呤衍生物的复杂转化,且该过程在不同植物中表现出趋同进化的特征。
- 大麻素:大麻素的合成路径涉及多种酶的协同作用,尤其是四氢大麻酚合成酶(THCAS)和大麻二酚合成酶(CBDAS),这些酶在催化关键反应时表现出底物特异性。
- 阿片类药物:从多巴胺和4-羟基苯乙醛开始的合成路径经过多步反应生成吗啡,涉及多种P450酶的催化。
主要结论/意义/创新性
本文强调了精神活性天然产物的合成生物学在药物开发和生产中的潜力。通过合成生物学技术,能够在微生物中重构复杂的生物合成途径,促进药物的可持续生产。此外,研究表明,天然产物的合成路径不仅具有生物学意义,也为合成化学提供了灵感。
研究局限性和未来方向
尽管取得了一些进展,但许多合成路径仍未完全阐明,尤其是在复杂的代谢网络中。此外,合成生物学的应用受到伦理和法律问题的制约。未来的研究需要解决这些挑战,以实现更高效的天然产物生产,同时尊重传统知识和生物多样性。
