白刺新碱是从中国沙漠植物白刺叶子中分离出来的生物碱. 因为其特异的结构, 引发了化学合成与生源关系方面的探讨. 根据它与育亨宾结构的类似性, 提出它可能来源于育亨宾. 另一个可能则是来源于赖氨酸. 以来源于赖氨酸的C(5)结构为原料的三步仿生合成取得了成功. 对白刺新碱的化学合成、生源关系和仿生合成进展进行综述, 以促进相关研究的进展.

关键词: 白刺新碱, 合成, 生源关系, 仿生合成

Tangutorine was isolated from the leaves of Nitraria tangutorum (Zygophylaceae/Nitrariaceae) collected in China. Since its discovery, the unusual structure stimulated synthetic work and speculation of biogenetic relationship. Relying on the similarity with yohimbane alkaloids, a possible biosynthetic origin was proposed. An alternative biosynthetic pathway according to Nitraria metabolism was also proposed. It is believed that tangutorine biogenetically come from lysine. A biomimetic synthesis was achieved in three steps from simple C(5) lysine-derived units. This paper reviews the progresses in the synthesis, biogenetic relationship and biomimetic synthesis of tangutorine.

Key words: tangutorine, synthesis, biogenetic relationship, biomimetic synthesis
