Abstract
Feeding experiments with deuterium-labelled 8-epi-deoxyloganic acid, b artsioside and aucubin gave incorporation of all compounds into catalp ol both in Scutellaria albida and Paulownia tomentosa. Dilution experi ments with labelled 8-epi-deoxyloganic acid and unlabelled aucubin sho wed that aucubin is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of catalpol in these two species. 8-epi-Deoxyloganic acid was incorporated into tome ntoside in P. tomentosa.
