## 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
Doubly-labeled [(3)H, (14)C]tyrosines, [1-(13)C-]tyramine or [2-(14)C]tyramine, administered to the stems of intact Papaver somniferum L. plants, were found to be incorporated into the morphinan alkaloids of the plant with comparable efficiency. (3)H/(14)C ratios of alkaloids from plants fed the tyr
