Research Abstract |
Comprehensive syntheses of the analogs were proceeded, respectively about cathinone contained in a hallucinogenic plant Khat (Catha edulis), and its presumed biosynthetic intermediate ephedrine. Moreover, chemical constituents search of Ephedra americana in which ephedrine is not contained was performed. Furthermore, syntheses of the reagents for biosynthetic study were advanced about the photo-affinity labeling reagent and the photo-dissociation receptor fishing rod reagent that has fished the labeled biosynthetic enzyme, respectively.
