## Abstract In order to study the cularine biosynthesis, Lβ[Ξ²β^13^C]tyrosine (Lβ18), [Ξ±β^13^C]tyramine (20), Lβ[3β²β^18^O]DOPA (Lβ19) and [Ξ±β^13^C, 3β²β^18^O]dopamine (21) were synthesized and fed to __Corydalis claviculata__ and __Sarcocapnos crassifolia__ plants, which are rich sources of cularineβ
## Abstract The fragmentation of cavinine, a new amaryllis alkaloid in the crinine series, is discussed.
Aphelandrine (1) is shown to be biosynthesized in the root cells of Aphelundra tetragonu (VAHL) NEES from labelled putrescine (4), spermidine (5), and cinnamic acid (3). Whether spermine (6) and the @-hydroxycinna-moy1)spermidine 8 are precursors of 1 is uncertain, since the latter is hydrolysed to
