Abstract

A cell suspension culture of Cannabis sativa without endogenous flavonoids is able to convert quercetin to quercetin 3-O-glucoside, quercetin 3-O-diglucoside, isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside, and isorhamnetin 3-O-diglucoside. Apigenin is transformed to apigenin 7-O-glucoside and 7-O-glucuronide and to vitexin.
