Triterpene und Steroide in Kalluskulturen von Solanum dulcamara

Abstract

From tissue cultures (callus) of the soladulcidine strain of Solanum dulcamara L. the 4,4-dimethylsterols cycloartenol, cycloartanol, 24-dihydrolanosterol, and 24-methylenecycloartanol and the sterols cholesterol, 24-methylenecholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, isofucosterol, and sitosterol were identified by GC and GC/MS. In the callus the sterols are present in the free form and as esters, glucosides and palmitic esters of the glucosides. The total contents and the contents of the combined forms were determined photometrically (total: 0.19% on dry weight basis, 59.4% glucosides and acylated glucosides, 4.7% esters, 35.9% free). The main fatty acids of the petrolether soluble lipids of the callus (1.78%) are palmitic-, linoleic-, and linolenic acid.
