Root cultures ofSwertia chirata(Gentianaceae) were grown with supplements of [1-13 C]glucose, [U-13 C6]glucose or [carboxy-13 C]shikimic acid. 1,3,5,8-Tetrahydroxyxanthone was isolated and analysed by quantitative NMR analysis. The observed isotopomer distribution shows that 1,3,5,8-tetrahydroxyxanthone is biosynthesized via a polyketide-type pathway. The starter unit, 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA, is obtained from an early shikimate pathway intermediate. Phenylalanine, cinnamic acid and benzoic acid were ruled out as intermediates | Eur. J.

Keywords hydroxybenzoate isotope labelling NMR spectroscopy retrobiosynthesis xanthone. The shikimate pathway Fig. 1 supplies building blocks for a wide variety of plant metabolites via phenylalanine 7 such as lignin stilbenes and flavonoids or via early pathway intermediates as specific precursors. Differentiation between these alternatives is possible by retrobiosynthetic analysis using general 13C-labelled precursors . glucose reviewed in 1 . Using this approach we previously showed that the biosynthetic pathways of the tannic acid precursor gallic acid 8 and the bitter compound amarogentin 9 produced in Swertia chirata Gentianaceae branch off the shikimate pathway at a level before phenylpyruvate 6 Fig. 1 2 3 . We now exploit the retrobiosynthetic method to analyse the biosynthesis of a xanthone derivative. Xanthones are formed in at least 30 families of higher plants . Gentianaceae and Guttiferae 4 5 .
