CHEBI:73237 EXACT SEEDED
What these status tags mean
Curation status describes a workflow state. SEEDED means the record entered through the source-seeding workflow; it does not imply that no later curation occurred. PROPOSED marks an addition awaiting review; REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record. These are workflow decisions, not independently verified human review. Agent-assisted contributions may appear in the record history.
Grounding describes the identifier mapping: EXACT uses an ontology identity asserted by the source; MINTED keeps a local identifier when no defensible ontology identity is available; REVIEW_NEEDED flags an exact structure whose ontology identity needs adjudication. The grounding note retains any unresolved alternatives. These tags do not establish the strength of producer or activity evidence.
A benzylisoquinoline alkaloid that is 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline which is substituted by a 4,5-dimethoxy-3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-1-yl group at position 1, a methylenedioxy group at positions 6-7 and a methoxy group at position 8. Obtained from plants of the Papaveraceae family, it lacks significant painkilling properties and is primarily used for its antitussive (cough-suppressing) effects.

Alkaloids — computed by NPClassifier npclassifier.gnps2.org@2026-09-07, which is why it is pinned rather than recomputed. The gene cluster's asserted class is other, from MIBiG.
Producer organisms 1
A claim that this taxon makes the compound. The basis says what the evidence addressed — a knockout and a database assertion are not the same claim.

Somebody found the compound in this organism and cited it. That is not a claim that the organism makes it, and nothing here promotes one to the other.

A locus claim and a taxon claim are different questions. Heterologous expression settles the first and leaves the second where the isolation report left it.
Biosynthesis curated
Written by a curator with claim-level evidence on each step; not derived from a source. This is what the rest of the record exists to support.

| 1 | PsSDR1 noscapine synthase UniProtKB:I3PLR3 |
RHEA:57404 | CHEBI:141667 + CHEBI:57540 → CHEBI:73237 + CHEBI:57945 + CHEBI:15378 | DOI:10.1038/ncomms12137 |
Step 1: Papaver somniferum PsSDR1 oxidizes narcotine hemiacetal with NAD(+) to noscapine, NADH and H(+). This terminal SDR1 step records RHEA:57404 and leaves the upstream PsMT2/PsMT3 and PsCXE1 formation of narcotine hemiacetal unexpanded.
Mechanism & Biosynthesis Overview
Causal graph — biosynthesis 3 nodes, 2 edges
Papaver somniferum PsSDR1 oxidizes narcotine hemiacetal to noscapine in the late noscapine biosynthetic pathway.
| Subject | Predicate | Object | Notes | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| narcotine hemiacetal | is dehydrogenated by | PsSDR1 | RHEA:57404 places narcotine hemiacetal on the substrate side of the SDR1/NAD(+) noscapine synthase reaction. | DOI:10.1038/ncomms12137 |
| PsSDR1 | forms | noscapine | RHEA:57404 places noscapine on the product side of the SDR1/NAD(+) noscapine synthase reaction. | DOI:10.1038/ncomms12137 |
Every edge carries its own citation; an uncited edge is refused by the corpus tests.
