Identification
Common NameL-Coprine
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionL-Coprine is found in mushrooms. L-Coprine is present in the moderately toxic ink cap mushroom Coprinus atramentarius (common ink cap). Produces an oversensitivity to ethanol in some people. L-Coprine belongs to the family of Alpha Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon)[1].

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureOral, dermal, inhalation, and parenteral (contaminated drugs). (1)
Mechanism of ToxicityIt metabolises to 1-aminocyclopropanol, a closely-related chemical to Disulfiram and exhibits the same mechanism of action: inhibition of the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which is required for alchohol metabolism. (3)
MetabolismMetabolises to 1-aminocyclopropanol. (3)
Toxicity ValuesNot Available
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/SourcesCoprine occurs naturally in the otherwise edible mushroom, the common ink cap (Coprinopsis atramentaria). (3)
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsCoprine interferes with the bodys ability to metabolize alcohol. This causes the build of of acetaldehyde in the body. (4)
SymptomsCoprine may cause symptoms such as flushing, headache, nausea, palpitations, dyspnea, dizziness. (4)

Targets

General Function:
Aldehyde dehydrogenase (nad) activity
Specific Function:
ALDHs play a major role in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde. They are involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation.
Gene Name:
ALDH1B1
Uniprot ID:
P30837
Molecular Weight:
57205.93 Da

General Function:
Thyroid hormone binding
Specific Function:
Recognizes as substrates free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein-bound retinal. Seems to be the key enzyme in the formation of an RA gradient along the dorso-ventral axis during the early eye development and also in the development of the olfactory system (By similarity).

General Function:
Aldehyde dehydrogenase [nad(p)+] activity
Specific Function:
Oxidizes medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated aldehydes. Metabolizes also benzaldehyde. Low activity towards acetaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde. May not metabolize short chain aldehydes. May use both NADP(+) and NAD(+) as cofactors. May have a protective role against the cytotoxicity induced by lipid peroxidation.

General Function:
Retinal dehydrogenase activity
Specific Function:
Converts 9-cis-retinal to 9-cis-retinoic acid. Has lower activity towards 13-cis-retinal. Has much lower activity towards all-trans-retinal. Has highest activity with benzaldehyde and decanal (in vitro). Has a preference for NAD, but shows considerable activity with NADP (in vitro).

General Function:
Benzaldehyde dehydrogenase (nad+) activity
Specific Function:
ALDHs play a major role in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde. They are involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation. This protein preferentially oxidizes aromatic aldehyde substrates. It may play a role in the oxidation of toxic aldehydes.
