摘要: Similarities between alcoholism and morphinism concerning the development of an addiction symptoms withdrawal led to hypothesis that opiate-active compounds might be formed endogenously during establishment alcohol (Huber Melzig, 1992). This theory was supported by proof in vivo formation various alkaloids human body. One invoked ethanol metabolite acetaldehyde as a critical intermediate biosynthesis compounds. Acetaldehyde can condense directly with catecholamines tissues form substituted 6,7-dihydroxy-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines, most discussed compound being salsolinol (SAL). SAL non-enzymatic ring cyclization dopamine (DA) oxidation product yield racemic mixture both, (R)- (S)-enantiomer. Another pathway is condensation pyruvic acid, followed enzymatic decarboxylation reduction.
