Biotransformation of a [14CH3]-2-Methylaminobenzophenone by Plant Cell Cultures.
2-[ (14)C]-Methylamino-2',4'-dimethoxy-6'-hydroxybenzophenone ( 4) was synthesized and administered to RUTA GRAVEOLENS cell suspension cultures. Compound 4 was not incorporated into acridone alkaloids but glucosylated giving 7. This reaction takes place also in cell suspension cultures of ADHATODA VASICA and PEGANUM HARMALA.
