title: Biosynthetic studies of spiroleptosphol.
abstract: Studies of the biosynthesis of spiroleptosphol (1) revealed that 1 comprised a heptaketide (C1, C5-C10, and C12-C18 moiety), two methyl carbons (C19 and C20) from methionine, and a C(3) unit (C3, C4, and C11 moiety) derived through the TCA cycle.
