The biogenesis of verrucosins, diterpenoid glycerides of the marine mollusc Doris verrucosa, has been investigated by feeding experiments with labelled precursors. Incorporation of radioactive D-[U-14C]-glucose in the diterpenes proved the de novo origin of verrucosins in the mollusc. Biogenesis of glycerol and terpenoid substructures has been investigated by feeding experiment with 13C-labelled precursors.

Abstract
The biogenesis of verrucosins, diterpenoid glycerides of the marine mollusc Doris verrucosa, has been investigated by feeding experiments with labelled precursors. Incorporation of radioactive D-[U-14C]-glucose in the diterpenes proved the de novo origin of verrucosins in the mollusc. Biogenesis of glycerol and terpenoid substructures has been investigated by feeding experiment with 13C-labelled precursors.File in questo prodotto:
