Summary
The biosynthesis of the alkaloids ofAmmothamnus lehmannii Bge. have been studied by supplying the plants with [1,5-14C2] cadaverine. It has been shown that cadaverine is a precursor of sophocarpidine, sophocarpine, and pachycarpine. Possible routes of interconversions have been studied by supplying the plants with the tritium-labelled alkaloids [3H] sophocarpine, [3H] matrine, and [3H] pachycarpine.
