Abstract

The biotransformation patterns of various phenols aniline derivatives, benzoic and cinnamic acids, coumarins, tropane, furoquinoline, isoquinoline and ergot alkaloids, mono-, di- and triterpenoids, pregnane and androstane derivatives, cholesterol and cardenolides by plant cell cultures are reviewed. using biotransformation of cardiac glycosides as an example it is shown that the pattern of biotransformation products obtained depends on the special cell strain used. it is demonstrated that it is possible to isolate cell strains with a high biotransformation capacity of a special desired type, namely hydroxylation of β-methyldigitoxin to β-methyldigoxin. practical application of biotransformation by plant cell cultures is discussed.
