  • Title: The cruciferous phytoalexins brassinin and cyclobrassinin are intermediates in the biosynthesis of brassilexin.
    Author: Pedras MS, Loukaci A, Okanga FI.
    Journal: Bioorg Med Chem Lett; 1998 Nov 03; 8(21):3037-8. PubMed ID: 9873671.
    Abstract:
    Following feeding experiments with the tetradeuterated cruciferous phytoalexins brassinin (5b) and cyclobrassinin (6b), leaves of Brassica carinata were elicited with the blackleg causing fungus Phoma lingam and incubated. Spectroscopic and HPLC analyses indicated that both brassinin (5a) and cyclobrassinin (6a) were incorporated into the cruciferous phytoalexin brassilexin (7a).
