Biosynthesis of the Peyote Alkaloids. The Incorporation of Tyrosine-2-C14 into Mescaline and Anhalonidine1

Tyrosine labeled with carbon-14 at the 2-position was fed to peyote plants, and the radioactive label was tracked into the alkaloids mescaline and anhalonidine. The incorporation pattern supports that tyrosine is a precursor in the biosynthesis of these peyote alkaloids, with the label appearing in specific positions consistent with a proposed biosynthetic pathway.
