RESUMO
Mushroom poisoning has always been a threat to human health. There are a large number of reports about ingestion of poisonous mushrooms every year around the world. It attracts the attention of researchers, especially in the aspects of toxin composition, toxic mechanism and toxin application in poisonous mushroom. Inocybe is a large genus of mushrooms and contains toxic substances including muscarine, psilocybin, psilocin, aeruginascin, lectins and baeocystin. In order to prevent and remedy mushroom poisoning, it is significant to clarify the toxic effects and mechanisms of these bioactive substances. In this review article, we summarize the chemistry, most known toxic effects and mechanisms of major toxic substances in Inocybe mushrooms, especially muscarine, psilocybin and psilocin. Their available toxicity data (different species, different administration routes) published formerly are also summarized. In addition, the treatment and medical application of these toxic substances in Inocybe mushrooms are also discussed. We hope that this review will help understanding of the chemistry and toxicology of Inocybe mushrooms as well as the potential clinical application of its bioactive substances to benefit human beings.

Three shape-persistent [4+4] imine cages with truncated tetrahedral geometry with different window sizes were studied as hosts for the encapsulation of tetra-n-alkylammonium salts of various bulkiness. In various solvents the cages behave differently. For instance, in dichloromethane the cage with smallest window size takes up NEt4+ but not NMe4+, which is in contrast to the two cages with larger windows hosting both ions. To find out the reason for this, kinetic experiments were carried out to determine the velocity of uptake but also to deduce the activation barriers for these processes. To support the experimental results, calculations for the guest uptakes have been performed by molecular mechanics' simulations. Finally, the complexation of pharmaceutical interested compounds, such as acetylcholine, muscarine or denatonium have been determined by NMR experiments.

L-Arabinose is an abundant resource available as a waste product of the sugar beet industry. Through use of a hydrazone-based strategy, L-arabinose was selectively dehydrated to form a chiral tetrahydrofuran on a multi-gram scale without the need for protecting groups. This approach was extended to other biomass-derived reducing sugars and the mechanism of the key cyclization investigated. This methodology was applied to the synthesis of a range of functionalized chiral tetrahydrofurans, as well as a formal synthesis of 3R-3-hydroxymuscarine.

Cellulose represents a key component of a renewable biomass source, from which chiral compounds with a high added value in the application for the synthesis of potentially bioactive molecules can be obtained. The anhydrosugar (1R,5S)-1-hydroxy-3,6-dioxa-bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2-one (LAC), produced on the gram-scale by catalytic pyrolysis of cellulose, was used as a building block in the synthesis of five new enantiomerically pure muscarine-like products. The structures of the target compounds 4-8 showed different substituents at the C-2 and C-4 positions, but each of them had the same (2S,4R) configuration as the natural (+)-muscarine. A renewed interest in new muscarinic analogues is due to the design and synthesis of molecules exhibiting a higher selectivity for a specific muscarinic receptor and due to the development of effective agents in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders. In this context, products 4-8 were investigated with respect to their binding affinity to human M1-M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. The data indicated that compound 8, emerging as the most active in the series with values comparable to natural (+)-muscarine and a moderate selectivity in favor of the hM2 subtype receptor, also exhibited the highest stability during the interaction with the hM2 (3UON) subtype muscarinic receptor by using a docking calculation.

Structural information on acetylcholine and its two agonists, nicotine, and muscarine has been obtained from the interpretation of infrared spectra recorded in the gas-phase or in low pH aqueous solutions. Simulated IR spectra have been obtained using explicit water molecules or a polarization continuum model. The conformational space of the very flexible acetylcholine ions is modified by the presence of the solvent. Distances between its pharmacophoric groups cover a lower range in hydrated species than in isolated species. A clear signature of the shift of protonation site in nicotine ions is provided by the striking change of their infrared spectrum induced by hydration. On the contrary, structures of muscarine ions are only slightly influenced by the presence of water.

Acetylcholine, the first identified neurotransmitter acts on both types of cholinergic receptors. Both rigid and flexible derivatives of acetylcholine could either be selective muscarinic or selective nicotinic agonists while some compounds show activity at both receptor subclasses. Earlier structure-activity considerations are revisited. Ligand and receptor based calculations have been applied in the hope to identify characteristic geometrical and steric requirements for the activity on the receptor subtypes. Results are treated critically and applied cautiously for predicting selective structural requirements by the cholinergic receptor subclasses.

Many biogenic amines evoke a variety of physiological responses by acting on G protein-coupled receptors. We have determined the conformation of two acetylcholine analogs, (S)-methacholine and (2S,4R,5S)-muscarine, bound to the M(2) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M(2) mAChR) by NMR spectroscopy. The analysis of the transferred nuclear Overhauser effect indicated that the receptor selectively recognized the conformers of (S)-methacholine and (2S,4R,5S)-muscarine with the gauche O-C2-C1-N dihedral angle at +60 degrees. This is distinct from the predominant conformations of these ligands in solution with O-C2-C1-N dihedral angle (+80 to approximately 85 degrees ) in the absence of the M(2) mAChR, as assessed by analyses of the coupling constants and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy. We have also built a molecular model of the M(2) mAChR-(S)-methacholine complex, based on the X-ray crystallographic structure of rhodopsin. This model indicated that the conformation with the gauche O-C2-C1-N dihedral angle at +55.5 degrees, which is similar to the one determined by NMR measurement, is energetically favored in the binding of (S)-methacholine to the receptor. We suggest that this conformation represents the binding of the agonist to the M(2) mAChR in the absence of G protein.

Some thio- and the benzoyl-derivatives of deoxamuscarine were synthesized and tested as muscarinic agonists using radioligand binding assays and functional tests. In comparison with deoxamuscarine, used as reference compound, no dimension/distance modification is tolerated for correct lipophilic pocket recognition. The substitution of the ammonium group with a sulphonium group significantly decreased muscarinic potency. The so-called 'muscarinic sub-site' accepts relatively bulky functions as long as it is bound to the cyclopentane carrier by an oxygen bridge. Esterification of this moiety increases the M2 subtype selectivity, while etherification heightens that of M3.

The cholinergic hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease suggests that cholinergic agonists may have therapeutic potential for treating the attendant memory deficits of the disease. As part of a program aimed at preparing metabolically stable, nonquaternary analogs of muscarone, 1-oxa-2,8-dimethyl-8-azaspiro[4.5]decan-3-one, 2a, and related analogs have been synthesized and their in vitro muscarinic activity evaluated. The synthetic strategy in the formation of the 1-spiro[4.5]decan-3-one ring system of 2a involved cyclization of the diol 4 in the presence of Nafion-Hg. The spiromuscarone 2a was found to displace [3H]Oxo-M binding with a Ki value of 7 nM. Affinities of the oxime and hydrazone analogs of 2a were lower than 2a. The compounds in these series were partial muscarinic agonists as demonstrated by stimulation of phosphatidyl inositol hydrolysis assay, with 2a showing the highest intrinsic intrinsic activity (60% as compared with carbachol). The results from this study indicate that an exo double bond at the C-3 position is essential for the receptor binding.

Four isomers of [(4-fluoro-5-methyl-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl]trimethylammonium iodide (4-deoxy-4-fluoro-muscarines) were prepared in enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure form from (S)-(-)-methyl 4-methylphenyl sulfoxide, ethyl fluoroacetate, and allyl bromide. Their absolute configurations were assigned by 1H NMR analyses. The four optically pure compounds were tested in vitro on guinea pig and their muscarinic potency was evaluated at M3 (ileum and bladder) and M2 (heart) muscarinic receptor subtypes. Compound 1a, the most potent isomer of the series, was also tested in vivo on pithed rat and its muscarinic activity at the M1 receptor subtype was compared with that of muscarine. Moreover, affinity and relative efficacy were calculated in vitro for this compound at M2 (heart force and rate) and M3 (ileum and bladder) receptors in order to investigate muscarinic receptor heterogeneity. The 4-deoxy-4-fluoromuscarines display a similar trend of potency as the corresponding muscarines and compound 1a shows differences in the affinity constants among the studied tissues. Replacement of a hydroxyl group for a fluorine atom in the 4 position of muscarine produces 1 order of magnitude increase in affinity for cardiac M2 muscarinic receptors controlling rate, while the affinity at cardiac M2 muscarinic receptors controlling force is unchanged, opening the possibility of a further classification of cardiac muscarinic receptors.

A computer program for comparison of the conformations of a number of related molecular structures is described. The comparisons are performed on either interatomic distances or torsion angles. The comparisons are accomplished on ordered pairs of distances or torsion angles, and the distance comparisons can be performed in a manner that allows permutation of the distance pairs being compared. The algorithm utilizes bit-string Boolean operations that allow the comparisons to be performed rapidly. The program should be useful for computer-assisted molecular modeling studies in which the viable conformers of bioactive analogues are compared in order to locate those conformers that place key substituents in the same spatial orientation.
