Identification of Intermediates and Enzymes Involved in the Early Steps of Artemisinin Biosynthesis in Artemisia annua
Open accessAbstract
An important group of antimalarial drugs consists of the endoperoxide sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin and its derivatives. Only little is known about the biosynthesis of artemisinin in Artemisia annua L., particularly about the early enzymatic steps between amorpha-4,11-diene and dihydroartemisinic acid. Analyses of the terpenoids from A. annua leaves and gland secretory cells revealed the presence of the oxygenated amorpha-4,11-diene derivatives artemisinic alcohol, dihydroartemisinic alcohol, artemisinic aldehyde, dihydroartemisinic aldehyde and dihydroartemisinic acid. We also demonstrated the presence of a number of biosynthetic enzymes such as the amorpha-4,11-diene synthase and the--so far unknown--amorpha-4,11-diene hydroxylase as well as artemisinic alcohol and dihydroartemisinic aldehyde dehydrogenase activities in both leaves and glandular trichomes. From these results, we hypothesise that the early steps in artemisinin biosynthesis involve amorpha-4,11-diene hydroxylation to artemisinic alcohol, followed by oxidation to artemisinic aldehyde, reduction of the C11-C13 double bond to dihydroartemisinic aldehyde and oxidation to dihydroartemisinic acid.

These metabolites suggested the presence of two interlinked pathways for conversion of amorpha-4,11-diene (451) to either dihydroartemisinic acid (480) or artemisinic acid (473).
“Collectively, these metabolites suggested the presence of two interlinked pathways for the conversion of amorpha-4,11-diene (451) to either dihydroartemisinic acid (480) or artemisinic acid (473), as is shown in Scheme 11 [135].”

There is evidence for a route to dihydroartemisinic acid (480) involving two oxidations at C-12 of amorpha-4,11-diene (451) to artemisinic aldehyde (460) via artemisinic alcohol (458), reduction of the Δ11,13 double bond in (460) to dihydroartemisinic aldehyde (483), and oxidation of (483) at C-12 to yield dihydroartemisinic acid (480).
“Interestingly, there is now some evidence for such a route to dihydroartemisinic acid (480), which involves two oxidations at C-12 of amorpha-4,11-diene (451), producing artemisinic aldehyde (460) via artemisinic alcohol (458); followed by reduction of the Δ11,13 double bond in (460) to dihydroartemisinic aldehyde (483); and, finally, oxidation of (483) at C-12 to yield dihydroartemisinic acid (”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
