The paper reports the results of biosynthetic experiments with the marine nudibranch Doriopsilla areolata. Biogensis of the enantiomeric sesquiterpenes 1 and 5 was investigated by feeding of [1-13C]-glucose, [1,2-13C2]-glucose and [1,2-13C2]-acetate. Evidence is presented that supports de novo origin of both compounds via an single metabolic pathway based on mevalonic acid.

Abstract
The paper reports the results of biosynthetic experiments with the marine nudibranch Doriopsilla areolata. Biogensis of the enantiomeric sesquiterpenes 1 and 5 was investigated by feeding of [1-13C]-glucose, [1,2-13C2]-glucose and [1,2-13C2]-acetate. Evidence is presented that supports de novo origin of both compounds via an single metabolic pathway based on mevalonic acid.File in questo prodotto:
