Abstract
Cell suspension cultures of Brucea javanica (L.) Merr. were used to determine culture growth characteristics and production of canthin-6-one alkaloids. The major alkaloids produced were canthin-6-one, 11-hydroxycanthin-6-one, 5-methoxycanthin-6-one and 11-methoxycanthin-6-one. Alkaloids were synthesised throughout the 36 day growth cycle of the cells with maximum amounts within the cells occurring between days 20 to 28; approximately 10% of the alkaloids were in the medium at day 24 rising to 45% at day 32.Entities:
