Aphelandrine ( 1 ) is shown to be biosynthesized in the root cells of Aphelandra tetragona (V AHL ) N EES from labelled putrescine ( 4 ), spermidine ( 5 ), and cinnamic acid ( 3 ). Whether spermine ( 6 ) and the ( p ‐hydroxycinnamoyl)spermidine 8 are precursors of 1 is uncertain, since the latter is hydrolysed to a large extent before incorporation, and the former is metabolized to 4 and 5 . Methionine ( 7 ) is the source of the 3‐aminopropyl unit of 5 and 6 .
