• TITLE: New Developments in the Mechanism of Drug Action and Toxicity of Conjugated Imines and Iminiums, including Related Alkaloids

  AUTHORS: Peter Kovacic, Ratnasamy Somanathan

  KEYWORDS: Mechanism of Drug, Alkaloids

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Preventive Medicine, Vol.4 No.7, July 29, 2014

  ABSTRACT: This review deals with mechanism and physiological activity of conjugated imine and iminium species, including those in the alkaloid category. An appreciable number can be found in the Merck Index. There is focus in mode of action on electron transfer (ET), reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress (OS) and reduction potential in the prior review. These aspects can be involved in both therapeutic action and toxicity. A unifying mechanistic approach involving ET-ROS-OS is applied to synthetic drugs and alkaloids in the imineiminium category in relation to both beneficial and adverse effects. Insight at the basic, molecular level can aid in practical pharmaceutical design.
