Biosynthesis of strychnine

Abstract

In contrast to short-term experiments, prolonged feedings have revealed that geissoschizine (2) and the Wieland-Gumlich aldehyde (3) are specifically incorporated into strychnine (1) in Strychnos nux vomica; the detection of six alkaloids not previously found in this species is also described.
