Aralia cordata

Production of anthocyanins in plant cell and tissue cultures has been reported for more than 30 species including Daucus carota, Fragaria x ananassa, Vaccinium spp., Vitis hybrida, Solanum tuberosum, Malus sylvestris, Aralia cordata, Perilla frutescens, Ipomoea batatas. Euphorbia millii, Strobilanthes dyeriana. Hibiscus sabariffa, Dioscorea cirrhosa, etc. ... 

Bioreactor-based systems for mass production of anthocyanins from cultured plant cells have been described for several species.A highly productive cell line of Aralia cordata obtained by continuous cell aggregate cloning has, for instance, been reported to yield anthocyanins in concentrations as high as 17%i on a dry weight basis. However, to date economic feasibility has not been established in part because of some unique engineering challenges inherent in mass cultivation of plant cultures.

For thirty natural resources, total extracts are obtained by both the SFE at 45C and 30 MPa and the LSE by n-hexane, chloroform and methanol, respectively. For all the extracts, five types of bioassays were performed and the qualitative results are summarized in Table 1. For the case of the cytotoxicity assay, the extracts of Angelica gigantis Radix, Aralia Cordata, Bupleurm falcatum, Acanthopanacis Cortex and Spirodelae Herba by the SFE showed much higher...

A number of partial syntheses which have been mentioned earlier in this chapter e.g. rosenonolactone), may be considered as formally total by virtue of the previous synthesis of an intermediate. The compound (124) features as an intermediate in diterpene total synthesis. Alkylation with methyl iodide gave a mixture of C-13 epimeric aldehydes which were converted " into pimara-8(14),15-dien-19-oic acid and its C-13 epimer the former occurs in Aralia cordata.
