The biosynthesis of drimane esters in marine molluscs Dendrodoris limbata and Dendrodoris grandiflora has been reinvestigated by feeding experiments with D-[14C-(U)]- and D-[6-13C]-glucose. Both experiments proved the incorporation of the precursors in the terpenoid part of drimane esters. Use of [6-13C]-glucose also demonstrated that the labelled material was incorporated via the classical acetate/mevalonate pathway.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of drimane esters in marine molluscs Dendrodoris limbata and Dendrodoris grandiflora has been reinvestigated by feeding experiments with D-[14C-(U)]- and D-[6-13C]-glucose. Both experiments proved the incorporation of the precursors in the terpenoid part of drimane esters. Use of [6-13C]-glucose also demonstrated that the labelled material was incorporated via the classical acetate/mevalonate pathway.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
