Catalpol is an iridoid glucoside that is found in plants belonging to several families, including, but not limited to, Scrophulariaceae, Lamiaceae, and Bignoniaceae.[1] This natural product falls in the class of iridoid glycosides, which are simply monoterpenes with a glucose molecule attached. First isolated in 1962, catalpol was named for plants in the genus Catalpa in which it was discovered. Later in 1969, catalpol was found to be present in larger quantities in several plants in genus Rehmannia.[2] Although the pharmacological action of catalpol as well as many other iridoids has not been fully established, there is evidence that their primary function is to stimulate the production of adrenal cortical hormones, which increases the production of sex hormones. Catalpol also exhibits anti-inflammatory activity and has shown to increase the production of androgens yielded by the adrenal gland, which can lead to increases in muscle mass.[3]
Biosynthetic pathway
Though first isolated in the 1960s, there has been very little investigation of the biosynthetic pathway of catalpol.[1] S. R. Jensen has described a possible biosynthetic pathway for catalpol.[4] With iridoids stemming from a terpenoid origin, epi-iridotrial's precursor, epi-iridodial, is derived from geraniol.[5] Addition of a glucose at carbon 1 (C1) of the iridoid backbone and oxidation of the aldehyde at C4 of epi-iridotrial produced 8-epiloganic acid. A subquent hydrolysis at C8 yielded mussaenosidic acid, followed by a dehydration to yield deoxyngeniposidic acid. The next precursor, geniposidic acid, was furnished via hydrolysis of C10, and then a decarboxylation to remove the carboxylic acid at C4 provided bartsioside. The very widely known and accepted precursor to catalpol, aucubin, was then furnished via hydroxylation at C6. Finally an epoxidation with the alcohol at C10 yielded the natural product, catalpol.[4]
