Loline alkaloids are saturated pyrrolizidines with a substituted 1-amino group and an oxygen bridge between C2 and C7, and are insecticidal metabolites of plant-symbiotic fungi (endophytes). Cultures of the enclophyte, Neotyphodium uncinatum, incorporated labeled L-proline and L-homoserine into the 1-aminopyrrolizidine, N-formylloline. The A-ring carbons C1-C3 and the N1 were derived from L-homoserine; the B-ring carbons C5-C8 and the ring nitrogen were derived from L-proline. Incorporation of both deuterium atoms from L-[4,4-H-2(2)]homoserine and feeding tests with labeled L-methionine indicated that L-homoserine incorporation was not achieved via aspartyl semialdehyde or S-adenosylmethionine, but probably involved a highly novel N-C bond-forming gamma-substitution reaction.
