Ergocryptine is an ergopeptine and one of the ergoline alkaloids. It is isolated from ergot or fermentation broth and it serves as starting material for the production of bromocriptine.[1] Two isomers of ergocryptine exist, α-ergocryptine and β-ergocryptine.[2] The beta differs from the alpha form only in the position of a single methyl group, which is a consequence of the biosynthesis in which the proteinogenic amino acid leucine is replaced by isoleucine. β-Ergocryptine was first identified in 1967 by Albert Hofmann.[3] Ergot from different sources have different ratios of the two isomers.[4]

Biosynthesis

[edit | edit source]

The biosynthetic pathways to ergocryptine starts with the prenylation of L-tryptophan in an SN1 fashion with dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP). DMAPP is derived from mevalonic acid. This reaction is catalyzed by a prenyltransferase enzyme (Prenyltransferase 4-dimethylallyltryptophan synthase) named FgaPT2 in Aspergillus fumigatus.[5][6] An X-ray structure of the prenyltransferase FgaPT2 and tryptophan has been reported, and used to propose a three step mechanism: (1) formation of allylic carbocation; (2) nucleophile attack of tryptophan on the carbocation; (3) deprotonation to restore aromaticity and generate the product, 4-dimethylallyltryptophan (DMAT).[6] DMAT is then N-methylated at the amino of the tryptophan backbone with the EasF enzyme, named FgaMT in A. fumigatus. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) being the methyl source.[7]

Ergocryptine-part1 The next step in the biosynthesis of ergocryptine is the transformation of 4-dimethylallyl abrine to Chanoclavine-I. It has been shown that the [enzyme EasE and EasC (FgaOx1 and FgaCat in A. fumigatus, respectively) are both required to generate Chanoclavine-I from 4-DMA abrine.[8] Mutation experiments altering these enzymes independently stopped the pathway at abrine. This indicates that cooperation between EasE and EasC is necessary.

Fig2- ergot alkaloid biosynthesis Fig3 - part 3 in biosynthesis of ergocryptine Chanocalvine-I is then oxidized to chanoclavine-I aldehyde with NAD+ dependent enzyme EasD (FgaDH in A. fumigatus). Chanoclavine-I aldehyde is a branch point, leading to different ergot alkaloids, depending on the specific fungus. In C. purpurea, chanoclavine-I aldehyde is converted to agroclavine with EasA, referred to as the old yellow enzyme or FgaOx3. This process occurs via keto-enol tautomerization to facilitate rotation about a carbon-carbon bond, followed by tautomerization back to the aldehyde, and condensation with the proximal secondary amine.[6][9] The iminium species created by cyclization is then reduced to the tertiary amine, yielding agroclavine.

Fig3-detail look at mechanism in biosynthesis of ergocryptine

A cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase enzyme catalyzes a two electron oxidation of agroclavine to the corresponding primary alcohol, elymoclavine.[10] Elymoclavine is then oxidized by four electrons by a P450 monooxygenase to give paspalic acid. Paspalic acid then undergoes isomerization of the carbon-carbon double bond that is in conjugation with the acid, to give D-lysergic acid.

Fig4 - part 4 in biosynthesis of ergot alkaloid ergocryptine

Lysergic Acid is a branch point in the biosynthesis of ergoamides and ergopeptines. On the path to ergocryptine, an ergopeptine, the tripeptide is installed by a Non-Ribosomal Peptide Synthase (NRPS). It has been shown that there are two enzymes, D-lysergyl peptide synthases (LPS) 1 and 2, which are responsible for the tripeptide connection to lysergic acid.[11] The timing of the oxidation of valine to an alcohol is not exactly known. However, it is speculated that the oxidation occurs while bound to the NRPS LPS2.[12] Ergocryptine is found in two forms, differing in the amino acid used by the NRPS. The alpha form contains the amino acid leucine, while the beta-form uses the amino acid isoleucine.[6]
