Lunularic acid decarboxylase

Incorporation experiments proved that lunularin (595) and lunularic acid (598) were biosynthesized by the shikimate-malonate pathway 288, 290). The co-occurrence of (595) and (598), and the presence of a lunularic acid decarboxylase in Lunularia cruciata and Conocephalum conicum indicated that a decarboxylation step was involved in forming naturally occurring C-14 stilbenes and their dihydro products 290, 292).
