Possible reaction products of glucosinolate hydrolysis and hypothetical biosynthetic pathway of macamides. It is assumed that macamides are derived from two main substrates: free fatty acids and benzylamine. These two main substrates arise from the hydrolysis of membrane and storage lipids, and glucosinolates, respectively. The oxidation of free fatty acids bring macaenes out
