Abstract
The incorporation of (±)-coclaurine, (±)-N-methylcoclaurine, didehydro-N-methylcoclaurinium iodide, (+)-(S)-N-methylcoclaurine and (-)-(R)-N-methylcoclaurine into isotetrandrine in Cocculus laurifolius DC has been studied and specific utilization of (±)-, (+)-(S)- and (-)-R-N-methylcoclaurines and didehydro-N-methylcoclaurinium iodide demonstrated. The evidence supports intermolecular oxidative coupline of (+)-(S)- and (-)-(R)-N-methylcoclaurines to form isotetrandrine. Double labelling experiment with (±)-N- [14C] methyl [1 - 3H] coclaurine demonstrated that the hydrogen atom at the asymmetric centre in N-methylcoclaurine is retained in the bioconversion into isotetrandrine.
