Among the classes of secondary metabolites produced by plants, triterpenes have attracted special attention due to their great biological potential. The Quinonemethide Triterpenes (QMTs), chemical markers of the Celastraceae family, are potent antitumoral and antioxidant compounds. Biosynthetic studies of QMTs in young plants of Maytenus ilicifolia have shown that, in this species, their …
Currently, issues related to the environment such as sustainable development and conservation of natural resources are being discussed and dealt often in big events, scientific or not, in various areas of knowledge. In sync, scholars have been developing and applying new techniques whose goals involve reducing the production of toxic substances in industrial and commercial contexts to pro…
Recently we identified in the heterologous system Saccharomyces cerevisiae that three cytochrome P450 enzymes catalyze the oxidation of maytenoic acid (a biosynthetic precursor of quinonemethide triterpenes or QMTs in the plant species Maytenus ilicifolia, as our group proved in 2019) to the putative populninic acid (FAPESP Grant 21/05646-2). This oxidation step may be vital for further e…
