Abstract

The biosynthesis of drimane esters in marine molluscs Dendrodoris limbata and Dendrodoris grandiflora has been reinvestigated by feeding experiments with d-[ 14C-(U)]- and d-[6- 13C]-glucose. Both experiments proved the incorporation of the precursors in the terpenoid part of drimane esters. Use of [6- 13C]-glucose also demonstrated that the labelled material was incorporated via the classical acetate/mevalonate pathway.
