title: Alkaloid Production by Ochrosia elliptica Cell Suspension Cultures.
abstract: Ochrosia elliptica cell suspension cultures were obtained from callus cultures using an original «cell washing technique». These suspensions accumulated ellipticine, 9-methoxyellipticine, elliptinine, isoreserpiline, and reserpiline (a new alkaloid for this species) during the stationary growth phase. Alkaloid production can be enhanced by cloning small cell aggregates.
