Leonurine (also known as "SCM-198" in research) is a pseudoalkaloid that has been isolated from Leonotis leonurus, Leonotis nepetifolia, Leonotis artemisia, Leonurus cardiaca (Motherwort), Leonurus sibiricus, as well as other plants of family Lamiaceae.[citation needed] Leonurine is easily extracted into water.[1]
Pharmacology[edit]
Leonurine weakly binds to multiple GABA receptor sites including the GABA-A receptor.[2][3] but shows much higher affinity as an 5-HT3A antagonist[4] 5-HT3A antagonists have been shown to help prevent nausea and vomiting as well as the negative effects of serotonin in the G.I tract.[5][6]
Leonurine can regulate a variety of functions including oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, apoptosis, and metabolic disorder.[7][8][9]
Leonurine has demonstrated antidepressant-like action and has been shown to increase levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine, noradrenaline, and dopamine in chronic mild stress studies on mice and inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines.[10][11][12]
Leonurine has been investigated as a potential treatment for cardiovascular disorders.[13][14][15][16] and protects against oxidative damage from ischemic stroke and demonstrates neuroprotective activity against focal cerebral ischemia brain injury induced on rats.[17][18][19]
Leonurine protects mice from pneumonia induced by influenza A[20]
Leonurine has demonstrated anti-cancer activity in vitro and in vivio.[21][22][23][24][25]
Metabolites[edit]
Metabolites of Leonurine in Rats dosed orally include Leonurine-10-O-sulfate (The sulfate conjugate of Leonurine), Leonurine-10-O-β-D-glucuronide (The glucuronide metabolite of Leonurine) and a O-demethylated Leonurine analog that has not yet had its structure definitively confirmed.[26]
Chemical synthesis[edit]
Leonurine can be synthesized starting from eudesmic acid. Reaction with sulfuric acid produces syringic acid. Protection with ethyl chloroformate followed by reaction with thionyl chloride SOCl2 and then tetrahydrofuran yields 4-carboethoxysyringic acid 4-chloro-1-butyl ester. The chloride is then converted to an amino group via a Gabriel synthesis (with potassium pthalimide) followed by hydrazinolysis (Ing–Manske procedure). The final step is reaction of the amine with S-methylisothiourea hemisulfate salt.
