Eremophila fraserii

No direct biosynthetic studies have been carried out on the sesquiterpenes from Eremophila. The difficulty of studying the biosynthesis of terpene metabolites of woody plants is well recognised and, until recently, little was known about the propagation of Eremophila species from seeds. Plant tissue cultures of many Eremophila species have been established, but an exhaustive examination of the metabolites produced by undifferentiated callus tissue failed to reveal the accummulation of terpenoid metabolites (86). The dominant metabolite found to be produced was the phenylpropanoid glycoside verbascoside, not previously detected in Eremophila species. Fatty acids and sterols were also produced. The formation of sterols may explain an earlier observation that tissue cultures of E. fraserii were capable of metabolising mevalonic acid (87).
