Biosynthesis of 2-trans,6-trans- and 2-cis,6-trans-farnesols by soluble enzymes from tissue cultures of Andrographis paniculata

Abstract

A cell-free system from Andrographis paniculata tissue cultures incorporates 3H from (3RS)-[2-14C, 5-3H2]mevalonate into trans,trans-farnesol without loss and into the cis,trans-isomer with loss of one sixth of the label; this strongly supports transcisisomerisation via aldehydes.
