Description and Uses

This alkaloid occurs naturally in Veratrum grandi/lorum and V. viride and is also formed during the hydrolysis of Veratrosine (q.v.). It forms colourless crystals of the monohydrate from aqueous EtOH and has [α]19D - 70° (MeOH). The hydrochloride forms colourless plates from EtOH, m.p. 20l-2°C and the picrate, yellow plates, m.p. 217.5 - 218°C. Two non-phenolic hydroxyl groups and an imino group are present and the triacetyl derivative, m.p. 205.5-206°C; [α]14.5D + 37.8° (MeOH), on controlled hydrolysis furnishes the N-acetyl com_x0002_pound, m.p. 176-8°C. The O-acetate has also been prepared as colourless prisms from aqueous EtOH, m.p. 20l-2°C but it is still uncertain which of the hydroxyl groups is acetylated in this derivative. Treatment with methyl iodide in MeOH in the presence of sodium carbonate gives N-methylveratraminc methiodide, m.p. 268°C (dec.) from which the methochloride, m.p. 277°C can be obtained. On catalytic hydrogenation, the base furnishes the dihydro derivative, m.p. 198- 200°C; [α]27D + 27.4°, which forms the N-acetyl compound, m.p. 220-3°C; [α]28D + 81° and the triacetyl derivative, m.p. l89.5-190.5°C; [α]24D + 84°.

The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, which is blocked by cyclopamine , plays a key role in morphogenesis and has potential applications in the treatment of cancer. Veratramine, a teratogenic steroidal alkaloid isolated from the corn lily (Veratrum sp.), is an analog of cyclopamine that can inhibit the Hh signaling-dependent proliferation of NIH/3T3 cells at 8 μM. Additionally, veratramine has anti-thrombotic activity as it dose dependently inhibits platelet aggregation in rabbits ex vivo. While it may be most useful as a signal transduction inhibitor for treating tumors, veratramine also induces serotonin release and inhibits its re-uptake in the CNS.
