Antirrhinoside Biosynthesis
Attention: This file is now outdated since
Søren Rosendal Jensen submitted a more
complete version
of the antirrhinoside biosynthesis.
The biosynthesis of antirrhinoside was investigated by
Damtoft S. et al. 1995.
The following scheme follows their Scheme 1. Antirrhinoside is an iridoid
glucoside found among Scrophularioideae and especially with Antirrhinae.
It is the main iridoid in Antirrhinum majus and constitutes about 2%
of the fresh weight of the plant.
