- Abstract
Feeding stemmadenine to Catharanthus roseus cell suspension culture resulted in the accumulation of catharanthine, tabersonine and condylocarpine. Condylocarpine is not an intermediate in the pathway to catharanthine or tabersonine when it is fed to the cultures. The results support the hypothesis that stemmadenine is an intermediate in the pathway to catharanthine and tabersonine.
