Abstract
The growth and droserone content of callus cultures of Triphyophyllum peltatum
grown in liquid 1/5 Linsmaier and Skoog medium was studied. During a
lag phase in growth, droserone concentrations in the medium reached a
value of 2.1 mg g−1 fr. wt. After this maximum value the concentration decreased slightly to 1.8 mg g−1
fr. wt., while the growth of the calli was enhanced (25% increase in
fr. wt. within 7 days). Plumbagin and isoshinanolone were likewise
present in the medium. By feeding 13C2-labelled acetate to the cultures the biosynthesis of droserone was elucidated. The incorporation of whole C2-units
unambiguously shows its acetogenic origin and fits well in the
biosynthetic scheme suggested for the structurally — and biogenetically —
related naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids.
