Pyrrolizidine alkaloids of the endemic Mexican genus Pittocaulon and assignment of stereoisomeric 1,2-saturated necine bases

The endemic Mexican genus Pittocaulon (subtribe Tussilagininae, tribe Senecioneae, Asteraceae) belongs to a monophyletic group of genera distributed in Mexico and North America. The five Pittocaulon species represent shrubs with broom-like succulent branches. All species were found to contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). With one exception (i.e., stems of Pittocaulon velatum are devoid of PAs) PAs were found in all plant organs with the highest levels (up to 0.3% of dry weight) in the flower heads. Three structural types of PAs were found: (1) macrocyclic otonecine esters, e.g. senkirkine and acetylpetasitenine; (2) macrocyclic retronecine esters, e.g. senecionine, only found in roots, and (3) monoesters of 1,2-saturated necines with angelic acid. For an unambiguous assignment of the different stereoisomeric 1,2-saturated necine bases a GC-MS method was established that allows the separation and identification of the four stereoisomers as their diacetyl or trimethylsilyl derivatives. All otonecine esters that generally do not form N-oxides and the 1,2-saturated PAs were exclusively found as free bases, while the 1,2-unsaturated 7-angeloylheliotridine occurring in P. velatum was found only as its N-oxide. In a comparative study the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the four stereoisomeric necine bases were completely assigned by the use of DEPT-135, H,H-COSY, H,C-HSQC and H,H-NOESY experiments and by iterative analysis of the 1H NMR spectra. Based on these methods the PA monoesters occurring in Pittocaulon praecox and P. velatum were assigned as 7-O-angeloyl ester respectively 9-O-angeloyl ester of dihydroxyheliotridane which could be identified for the first time as naturally occurring necine base. Unexpectedly, in the monoesters isolated from the three other Pittocaulon species dihydroxyheliotridane is replaced by the necine base turneforcidine with opposite configuration at C-1 and C-7. The species-specific and organ-typical PA profiles of the five Pittocaulon species are discussed in a biogenetic context.
