(R)-Reticuline

(R)-Reticuline is a key intermediate and precursor in the biosynthetic pathway of morphinan alkaloids. (R)-Reticuline plays a central role in the metabolism of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). (R)-Reticuline can either undergo O-methylation catalyzed by PSOMT1, or be converted to (+)-Salutaridine via regioselective and stereoselective oxidative coupling under the action of salutaridine synthase (CYP719B1). (R)-Reticuline serves as a direct precursor for the synthesis of important alkaloids such as morphine, codeine and thebaine.

In Vitro

(R)-Reticuline (20 nmol; 60 min) is converted to salutaridine via a cytochrome P-450-dependent enzyme system by microsomal preparations from flowering stage Papaver somniferum capsules, with a K_m value of 17 μM for (R)-reticuline^[2].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
