title: Isoquinoline alkaloids from cell suspension cultures of Fumaria capreolata.
abstract: Fumaria capreolata was taken into cell suspension culture. The culture yielded a biomass of about 12 g dry weight per liter of medium; the dried cells contained ca. 0.1% of alkaloids. Besides choline, the following ten known isoquinoline alkaloids were isolated from the cell extract in crystalline form: coptisine, dehydrocheilanthifoline; (+)-isoboldine; magnoflorine; N-methylcoclaurine; (+)-reticuline; (-)-pallidine; protopine; sanguinarine; (-)-scoulerine. This is the most diverse isoquinoline alkaloid spectrum thus far published for a cell suspension culture.
