14C-Labelled threonine (3), isoleucine (4), valine (5), and leucine (6) were incorporated specifically into trichodesmic acid (12), the necic acid component of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid trichodesmine (2) produced by Crotalaria globifera.Degradation of the 14C-labelled trichodesmic acid showed that threonine and isoleucine mainly lable one half of the C10 acid, while valine and leucine predominantly lable the other half of the acid.
