Columbamine is an isoquinoline alkaloid made up of four rings, two of which contain nitrogen. It is related to berberine but without its methylenedioxy group. Columbamine is also called dehydroisocorypalmine.[2] It has usually been isolated and characterised as its chloride salt.[1]
Occurrence
Columbamine has been found in several Berberis species, Coptis chinensis[3] and Jateorhiza palmata.[1]
Biosynthesis
The biosynthesis of columbamine starts with tyrosine and proceeds via (S)-reticuline in a pathway leading to benzylisoquinoline alkaloids.[4][5] The final step is catalysed by the enzyme tetrahydroberberine oxidase, which oxidises (S)-isocorypalmine:[1][6]
