The endogenous synthesis of 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-L-alanine (L-DOPA) by cell suspension cultures of Mucuna pruriens was found to be influenced by several environmental parameters. The nature of the nitrogen source as well as the concentration of nitrogen containing salts, sucrose and phosphate in

✦ Synopsis
Methods for induction and maintenance of callus as well as cell suspension cultures of Mucuna pruriens are described. The presence of 3-(3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl 1)-L-alanine (L-DOPA) in these cell suspension cultures was demonstrated by means of TLC and HPLC, the latter being equipped with an ultra-violet or a more specific electrochemical detector. Further methods employed were GC, also in combination with mass spectrometry, and thermal desorption chemical ionization mass spectrometry.

Production of L-DOPA was studied in cell suspension culture of Mucuna pruriens f. pruriens. Suspension culture was established in MSI medium composed of half concentration of Murashige and Skoog's salts and 2% sucrose. A two-stage cell suspension culture was developed for enhanced accumulation of L-
In-vitro-grown cells of Mucuna pruriens, immobilized in calcium-alginate gels, were able to transform the precursor L-tyrosine into L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). After the immobilization in alginate the plant cells released 90% of the produced L-DOPA into the medium; supplementation of the medi
Alginate-entrapped cells of Mucuna pruriens as well as the phenoloxidase isolated from the cell cultures, are able to ortho-hydroxylate several mono-, bi-and tri-cyclic monophenols. In this study, 7,8-dihydroxy N-di-n-propyl 2-aminotetralin, a catechol of pharmaceutical interest and difficult to pre
