N-Formyldemecolcine
N-Formyldemecolcine is a colchicine precursor that contains the characteristic tropolone ring and pharmacophore of colchicine. N-Formyldemecolcine can be synthesized de novo by genetically engineering transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana and atypical cytochrome P450s that catalyze the production of colchicine's unique carbon scaffold[1].
