    Notes: Abstract A strain of Pseudomonas putida was isolated by selective enrichment with morphine that was capable of utilising morphine as a primary source of carbon and energy for growth. Experiments with whole cells showed that both morphine and codeine, but not thebaine, could be utilised. A novel NADP-dependent dehydrogenase, morphine dehydrogenase, was purified from crude cell extracts and was shown to be capable of oxidising morphine and codeine to morphinone and codeinone, respectively. This NADP-dependent morphine dehydrogenase was not observed in any other species of pseudomonads examined and was quite distinct from the β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase found in Pseudomonas testosteroni, which had previously been shown to have activity against morphine.

    Notes: Summary Larvae of three moth species were compared with respect to strategies used to cope with secondary metabolites (allelochemicals) present in their diet.Syntomeida epilais is monophagous and accepted only oleander (which contains cardenolides, CG). CG were detected as stored products in the larvae and also in the faeces and exuviae. Pure CG (digoxin and gitoxin) which do not occur in oleander fed on oleander leaves were sequestered as the oleander CG.Syntomis mogadorensis is polyphagous: given a choice larvae avoided plants with a high load of allelochemicals. Upon shortage of preferred plants they ate a wide variety of plants which contain alkaloids, terpenes, or phenolics. Of these allelochemicals, alkaloids and CG were mainly recovered in the faeces and only minute fractions in the larvae.Creatonotos transiens larvae behaved similarly toSyntomis in terms of polyphagy and non-resorption. However, the larvae took up and stored pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) such as heliotrine selectively.Creatonotos is thus polyphagous (a generalist) but also a PA-specialist which exploits PA as defensive agents, as a morphogen for the male pheromone gland, and as a precursor for the male pheromone.

    Notes: Methyl 6-amino-2,3-dimethoxybenzoate (6) which was obtained from 6-formyl-2,3-dimethoxybenzoic acid (1), was treated with phloroglucinol to give two new acridone alkaloids, 1,3,8-trihydroxy-7-methoxy-9-acridone (7) and 1,3-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxy-9-acridone (8). Methylation of 7 and 8 gave another four new acridone alkaloids, 1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-9-acridone (9), 1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-10-methyl-9-acridone (10), 1-hydroxy-3,7,8-trimethoxy-10-methyl-9-acridone (11) and 1,3,7,8-tetramethoxy-10-methyl-9-acridone (12).
