Biotransformation of ellipticine into 5-formyl ellipticine by Choisya ternata strains

K Kouadio et al. Plant Cell Rep. 1984 Oct.

Abstract

Sixteen Choisya ternata strains of same genotypic origin were examined for their capacities to biotransform ellipticine. Four strains were able to convert the drug into 5-formylellipticine with good yields. The reaction occurred only in agar medium and was different from ellipticine bioconversion by microorganisms or mammals.
