AbstractIn this study, three semisynthetic betulonic acid-based compounds, 20(29)-dihydrolup-2-en[2,3-d]isoxazol-28-oic acid, 1-betulonoylpyrrolidine, and lupa-2,20(29)-dieno[2,3-b]pyrazin-28-oic acid, were studied in biotransformation experiments using Nicotiana tabacum and Catharanthus roseus cell suspension cultures. Biotransformation was performed using cyclodextrin to aid dissolving poorly water-soluble substrates. Several new derivatives were found, consisting of oxidized and glycosylated (pentose- and hexose-conjugated) products.

Cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus have been subjected to various media condi­tions in order to stimulate the formation of indole alkaloids. High ajmalicine contents (up to 0.5 mg/g cell fresh weight) were achieved by transferring 2-week-old cell suspensions to a 10-fold volume of a 8% sucrose solution. The alkaloid accumulation started two days after the transfer and reached a plateau after ten days. Furthermore an enhanced level of phenolic compounds was found, whereas growth of the culture was low. The accumulation of both, alkaloids and poly­phenols was stimulated by high concentrations of sucrose and low concentrations of nitrogen con­taining salts and phosphate. When these minerals were added to the sucrose solution in con­centrations commonly used for cell culture media, the accumulation of alkaloids and phenolic compounds was largely suppressed.
