Abstract

By using an LC/API-MS system, it was demonstrated that dopamine condenses with acetaldehyde to give salsolinol which is further metabolized to produce 6-O-methylsalsolinol (isosalsoline) which is O- and N-methylated to provide salsolidine and N-methylisosalsoline, respectively, in several plant tissue cultures of Papaveraceae. Almost none of the 3-O-methoxytyramine formed from dopamine was metabolized into simple isoquinoline derivatives. Although salsolinol and 3-O-methoxytyramine were formed from dopamine, no O-methylatedsalsolinol was formed in tissue cultures of Cynanchum vincetoxicum (Asclepiadaceae). The results suggest that the 0-methylating enzymes Of salsolinol may be different to those of dopamine.
