Abstract: | 2(S),2′(S)-N6-(2′-Glutaryl)lysine (l-saccharopine) and 2(S)-2-aminoadipic acid have been isolated from Reseda odorata. When traditional isolation procedures are used l-pyrosaccharopine (5(S),5′(S)-N-(5′-amino-5′-carboxy-pentyl)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid) is formed from l-saccharopine by lactamisation. The degree of lactamisation during various isolation steps has been studied, The amino acids were identified by IR and PMR spectroscopy and the configurations established by enzymic and polarimetric analyses. The contents of saccharopine and 2-amino-adipic acid have been determined relative to the total nitrogen content at various stages in the growth cycle of R. odorata. |
