Abstract

The incorporation of tryptamine, dopamine, N-deacetylisoipecoside, N-deacetylipecoside into alangimarckine, deoxytubulosine and ankorine and of strictosidine and vincoside into alangimarckine and deoxytubulosine in young Alangium lamarckii Thw. (Alangiaceae) has been studied and specific utilisation of N-deacetylisoipecoside demonstrated. Parallel experiments with nordeoxytubulosine and deoxytubulosine suggested that O-methylation precedes condensation of protoemetine with tryptamine and further the reduction of ethylene side chain takes place before condensation. Hydroxylation at C-8 in the trans-quinolizidine moiety is the terminal step in the biosynthesis of alangimarckine.
