Abstract
The most uncommon tricyclic sesquiterpenes, kelsoene 1 and prespatane 2, were isolated from cultured cells of liverwort Ptychanthus striatus , and the labelling pattern of kelsoene biosynthesized from exogenous [2-C-13]mevalonate suggested that kelsoene is biosynthesized from germ acradienyl cation via alloaromadendranyl cation.
