Abstract
⺠Mechanism of C-26 amination during steroidal alkaloid biosynthesis was investigated. ⺠Deuterium labeled cholesterol and mevalonate were administered to Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum tuberosum and Solanum melongena. ⺠Two hydrogen atoms were eliminated from C-26 of cholesterol during steroidal alkaloid biosynthesis. ⺠It is proposed that the C-26 amination reaction proceeds via a transamination mechanism.
