Hydroxyl octadecenoic acids biosynthesized by crown galls of Panax quinquefolium induced by artermisinic acid
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of artermisinic acid on the secondary metabolites production of Panax quinquefolium crown galls.
Methods: Artemisinic acid was added into the suspended cells of Panax quinquefolium crown galls and co-culture for two days. Products were isolated with chromatographic method.
Results: Three hydroxyl octadecenoic acids [9,12,13-trihydroxy-10-octadecenoic acid (1), 11,12,13-trihydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid (2) and 11-hydroxy-12,13-epoxy-9-octadecenoic acid (3)] were isolated from crown galls of Panax quinquefolium.
Conclusion: Artermisinic acid as one of the new type of phytohormones that might induce the production of 13-lipoxygenases in crown galls of Panax quinquefolium.
