Quinolizidine alkaloids: biochemistry, metabolism, and function in plants and cell suspension cultures

M Wink. Planta Med. 1987 Dec.

Abstract

Quinolizidine alkaloids constitute about 2% of the alkaloids that are known from plants. In this report, data on chromatography (TLC, cGLC), spectroscopy (MS, NMR), occurrence, biosynthesis (tracer studies, enzymatic experiments), accumulation, transport, degradation, biological activities (pharmacology, chemical ecology), and alkaloid formation in cell cultures are reviewed.
