Description

Feeding experiments with 13C-labeled precursors were performed in order to establish the biosynthesis of two N-acylated dihydro pyrroles, (8E)-1-(2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-2-methyldec- 8-ene-1,3-dione (1) and 1-(2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-2-methyldecane-1,3-dione (2), isolated from the cultures of a marine-derived Penicillium citrinum. The biosynthesis of both, 1 and 2, involves the incorporation of acetate, methionine and ornithine. (author)
