I found the field of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology; Chemistry very interesting. Saw the article The Synergistic Effect of Co-Treatment of Methyl Jasmonate and Cyclodextrins on Pterocarpan Production in Sophora flavescens Cell Cultures published in 2020.0. Recommanded Product: Chalcone, Reprint Addresses Jeong, JC; Kim, CY (corresponding author), Korea Res Inst Biosci & Biotechnol KRIBB, Biol Resource Ctr, Jeongeup 56212, South Korea.. The CAS is 94-41-7. Through research, I have a further understanding and discovery of Chalcone
Pterocarpans are derivatives of isoflavonoids, found in many species of the family Fabaceae. Sophora flavescens Aiton is a promising traditional Asian medicinal plant. Plant cell suspension cultures represent an excellent source for the production of valuable secondary metabolites. Herein, we found that methyl jasmonate (MJ) elicited the activation of pterocarpan biosynthetic genes in cell suspension cultures of S. flavescens and enhanced the accumulation of pterocarpans, producing mainly trifolirhizin, trifolirhizin malonate, and maackiain. MJ application stimulated the expression of structural genes (PAL, C4H, 4CL, CHS, CHR, CHI, IFS, I3’H, and IFR) of the pterocarpan biosynthetic pathway. In addition, the co-treatment of MJ and methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (Me beta CD) as a solubilizer exhibited a synergistic effect on the activation of the pterocarpan biosynthetic genes. The maximum level of total pterocarpan production (37.2 mg/g dry weight (DW)) was obtained on day 17 after the application of 50 mu M MJ on cells. We also found that the combined treatment of cells for seven days with MJ and Me beta CD synergistically induced the pterocarpan production (trifolirhizin, trifolirhizin malonate, and maackiain) in the cells (58 mg/g DW) and culture medium (222.7 mg/L). Noteworthy, the co-treatment only stimulated the elevated extracellular production of maackiain in the culture medium, indicating its extracellular secretion; however, its glycosides (trifolirhizin and trifolirhizin malonate) were not detected in any significant amounts in the culture medium. This work provides new strategies for the pterocarpan production in plant cell suspension cultures, and shows Me beta CD to be an effective solubilizer for the extracellular production of maackiain in the cell cultures of S. flavescens.
