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]
