Abstract

The Structure and stereochemistry of base C, a 13-hydroxytetrahydroprotoberberine metabolite in cell cultures, have been determined by X-ray analysis. Thereby the biotransformation of a tetrahydroprotoberberine N-metho salt to a spirobenzylisoquinoline , involving a migration of the N-methyl group to the O-methyl group was first demonstrated.
