A possible biosynthetic pathway from loganin to secologanin through ring cleavage of 6-hydroxyloganin was ruled out in feeding experiments in which Eustoma russellianum, Swertia japonica, Lonicera morrowii and Adina pilulifera were each presented with three C-6 and C-7 stereoisomers of hydroxy -loganin as well as - and -loganin.In an associated experiment, the reduction of the aldehyde group of secologanin leading to sweroside was shown to proceed by hydride ion attack from the si face.Key Word Index - Biosynthesis; ring cleavage; loganin; 6,7-stereoisomer of 6-hydroxyloganin; secologanin; stereochemical course of the reduction; deuterium labelling.
