M. Scigelova et al., BIOTRANSFORMATION OF ERGOT ALKALOIDS BY PLANT-CELL CULTURES WITH HIGHPEROXIDASE-ACTIVITY, Biotechnology letters, 17(11), 1995, pp. 1213-1218
Ergot alkaloids agroclavine and elymoclavine have been modified using
plant cell cultures exhibiting high peroxidase activity. Setoclavine a
nd isosetoclavine have been isolated from media after transformation o
f agroclavine on a semipreparative scale. 10-Hydroxyelymoclavine resul
ted from similar treatment of elymoclavine.
