The same problem, the stability of the nucleobases, was taken up by Levi and Miller (1998). They wanted to show that a synthesis of these compounds at high temperatures is unrealistic, and thus they took a critical look at the high temperature biogenesis theories, such as the formation of biomolecules at hydrothermal vents (see Sect. 7.2). The half-life of adenine and guanine at 373 K is about a year, that of uracil about 12 years and of the labile cytosine only 19 days. Such temperatures could have easily been reached when planetoids impacted the primeval ocean.

Part of the biogenesis of cephalosporins was confirmed by isolating 13C-labeled compounds [1014]. Adding [2-13C]-acetate to cultures of Cephalosporium acremonium yielded an antibiotic labeled at C-l 1, -12, -13, -14 and -19 (marked with asterisks in the formula) [l-13C]-acetate, on the other hand, yielded a compound labeled at positions 10, 15 and 18 (symbolized by in the formula).

A biosynthetic study of discorhabdin B (123) from the New Zealand sponge Latrunculia sp. demonstrates that [U- C]-L-phenylalanine is incorporated into 123 (via tyramine), and a biogenesis has been postulated (Scheme 19.2) [112]. It is not known when the phenolic ring is brominated. For a more general biogenetic proposal for the pyrroloquinolines see reference [110].

No attempt as yet has been made to study the biogenesis of Buxus alkaloids. Indirect evidence gave rise to the presumption that in the biogenetic scheme lanosterol is followed by cycloartenol (or similar triterpene type). Goutarel (205) tentatively proposed a possible pathway via lanosterol, cycloartenol, 9j8,19-cyclo-4,4, 14a-trimethyI-5a-pregnan-3(8 - ol - 20 - one, 9, 19 - cyclo - 4,4, 14a - trimethyl - 5a - pregnan - 3,20 - dione, mono-, and diaminosteroids. 

Among the marine natural products shown in Fig. (4), predehydrovenustatriol acetate (16) presents an attractive structural feature in regards to its biogenesis. The absence of the A-ring and the presence of the trisubstituted double bond between C2 and C3 points to a step-wise biosynthetic pathway this subject is discussed in the next section of this Chapter. Laurencia viridis has also been the source of thyrsenol A (19) and thyrsenol B [20, Fig. (5)]. Both of these compounds display an unusual enol ether moiety in the C-ring [11].
