Revisiting the manzamine biosynthetic hypothesis

Abstract

Covering: up to 2023

The marine environment represents a rich yet challenging source of novel therapeutics. These challenges are best exemplified by the manzamine class of alkaloids, featuring potent bioactivities, difficult procurement, and a biosynthetic pathway that has eluded characterization for over three decades. This review highlights postulated biogenic pathways toward the manzamines, evaluated in terms of current biosynthetic knowledge and metabolic precedent.
