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