title: Glycosylation of artepillin C with cultured plant cells of Phytolacca americana.
abstract: Biotransformation of artepillin C was investigated using cultured plant cells as biocatalysts. Artepillin C was converted into its 4- and 9-beta-D-glucosides, and 4,9-beta-D-diglucoside by cultured cells of Phytolacca americana. In contrast, cultured lpomoea batatas cells glucosylated artepillin C to only its 4- and 9-beta-D-glucosides.
