Salutaridine, also known as floripavine, is an alkaloid that is present in the morphinan alkaloid pathway of opium poppy, Papaver somniferum.
Biosynthesis
[edit]It is produced by the enzyme salutaridine synthase that catalyzes the chemical reaction from its precursor (R)-reticuline:[1][2]
The enzyme uses reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as its cofactor.
Salutaridine is converted to salutaridinol by the enzyme salutaridine reductase (NADPH).[3]
