The feeding of (13)C- and (2)H-enriched methionine to Streptomyces staurosporeus established that the methyl carbon and proton source of both the 3'-O- and 4'-N-methyl groups of staurosporine (1) was methionine and that all three methyl protons from methionine were retained on 1. In the presence of the methyltransferase inhibitor, sinefungin, the biosynthesis of staurosporine was blocked at the last step, O-methylation. An intermediate, 3'-demethoxy-3'-hydroxystaurosporine (2), was efficiently accumulated in the medium. Other general methyltransferase inhibitors failed to produce any other staurosporine intermediates or analogues.
