Abstract

Protoanemonin (I) was biosynthesized from radioactive tracers, such as sodium [5-¹⁴C]α-ketoglutarate, sodium [1-¹⁴C]acetate, sodium [2,3-¹⁴C]succinate, and [2-¹⁴C]glucose, in Ranunculus glaber Makino. Its labeling patterns have demonstrated that the genuine precursor of the lactone I is α-ketoglutarate.
