title: Alkaloids in the tissue culture of Holarrhena antidysenterica.
abstract: In the present study the tissue culture of a medicinal plant Holarrhena antidisenterica was established. Phytochemical analysis revealed a presence of a few alkaloids in the callus tissues. Two of them were determined by TLC as conessine and conimine. A screening of antibacterial activity of alkaloid extract was performed.
