Abstract

Rollinia mucosa produces furofuranic lignans (magnolin, epiyangambin, yangambin) that are antagonists of platelet-activating factor (PAF). The biosynthetic capacity and the potential for the accumulation of furofuranic lignans, including epieudesmin, of the plants cultured both in vivo and in vitro conditions were evaluated. The production and the pattern of lignans accumulated were dependent on the origin of the plant material and the plant organ. The major accumulation of lignans was observed in leaves. In the mature leaves of in vivo grown seedlings magnolin and yangambin predominated, in contrast to leaves from in vitro propagated plants that presented epiyangambin as the major lignan.
