Oleanolic acid (OA) is an important pentacyclic triterpenoid. Traditionally used by Asian medicine, OA for anti-infl ammatory, anti-hyperlipidemic, and hepatoprotective. This study used triterpene precursors at 1 to 5 mg/L and elicitors in diff erent concentrations at 2, 5, 10 mg/L to enhance OA production in Lantana camara suspension cultures. Treated cells were evaluated for their OA contents by using HPLC and compared with the nontreated cells as a control. The results showed that FPP at 2 mg/L infl uenced the biomass and OA production more over the phytohormone combination, other precursors, and elicitors in Suspension cultures of L. camara.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
