File:Biosynthetic Pathway.tif N-Feruloylserotonin an alkaloid and polyphenol found in safflower seed. Chemically, it is an amide formed between serotonin and ferulic acid. It has in vitro anti-atherogenic activity.[1]

Serotonin Derivatives Found in Safflower Seeds

N-feruloyl serotonin and N-(p-coumaroyl)serotonin are natural products that can be found in the extract of safflower seeds (Carthamus tinctorius ).[2] These natural products have been isolated and studied to investigate their antioxidant effects.[3] These polyphenols have been utilized in traditional Chinese medicine and other eastern medicine practices to have strong antioxidant effects, chemotherapeutic effects, and atherosclerosis attenuation.[1][4] It has been found that N-(p-coumaroyl) and N- feruloyl serotonin can suppress the expression of matrix metalloproteinases MMP3/13 and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS), thus attenuating cartilage degradation.[2]

Biosynthesis

The biosynthetic pathway of N- feruloyl serotonin and N-(p-coumaroyl) serotonin has been reported.[5] In plants, the enzyme anthranilate synthase (AS) is composed of two subunits that modulate the production or suppression of tryptophan from chorismate.[6] Tryptophan is then decarboxylated by tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) into tryptamine.[5] Tryptamine 5-hydroxylase (T5H) then hydroxylates tryptamine into serotonin.[7][8] Serotonin, the precursor to N-(p-coumaroyl) and N- feruloyl serotonin, is found in the seeds of the safflower plant.[9][10][11] Hydroxycinnamic acids are then transferred to serotonin from hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA esters by hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA: serotonin N-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase (SHT).[6]
