High-performance liquid chromatographic, capillary electrophoretic and capillary electrophoretic–electrospray ionisation mass spectrometric analysis …

2002

Systems for efficient separation of selected alkaloid groups by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE) and capillary electrophoresis coupled with electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (CE-ESI-MS) are described. The optimized HPLC system was applied for the separation of 23 standard indole alkaloids as well as for qualitative and quantitative analyses of crude alkaloid extracts of Rauvolfia serpentina X Rhazya stricta hybrid cell cultures. The developed conditions for CE analysis proved to be efficient for separation of mixtures of standard indole and beta-carboline alkaloids. The described buffer system is also applicable in the combination of CE w…

Development of an efficient system for the separation of indole alkaloids by high performance liquid chromatography and its applications

2001

An efficient system for the analysis of indole alkaloids by HPLC on a reversed-phase column using an ion pair technique is described. The optimised chromatographic conditions allowed the successful separation of 22 standard monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (including some isomers) and tryptamine. The described HPLC system was applied to the analysis of alkaloids in intergeneric somatic hybrid cell cultures of Rauvolfia serpentina x Rhazya stricta.

Induction of alkaloid diversity in hybrid plant cell cultures

1999

The treatment of Rauwolfia serpentina x Rhazya stricta somatic hybrid cell suspension culture with 100 μM of methyl jasmonate led to a general increase in indole alkaloid content and to qualitative changes in the alkaloid pattern. The content of Six alkaloids were investigated with respect to their content in both the cell biomass and nutrition medium. Intracellular 17-O-acetyl-norajmaline content on the 5th day after treatment had increased about 40-fold compared with the control culture. The respective concentrations of the other alkaloids increased by a factor of two to five. In total 26 indole alkaloids were identified in extracts of the methyl jasmonate-treated culture by TLC, UV, MS a…

Purification, partial amino acid sequence and structure of the product of raucaffricine-O-β-d-glucosidase from plant cell cultures of Rauwolfia serpe…

1999

Plant cell suspension cultures of Rauwolfia produce within 1 week approximately 250 nkat/l of raucaffricine-O-beta-D-glucosidase. A five step procedure using anion exchange chromatography, chromatography on hydroxylapatite, gel filtration and FPLC-chromatography on Mono Q and Mono P delivered in a yield of 0.9% approximately 1200-fold enriched glucosidase. A short protocol employing DEAE sepharose, TSK 55 S gel chromatography and purification on Mono Q gave a 5% recovery of glucosidase which was 340-fold enriched. SDS-PAGE showed a Mr for the enzyme of 61 kDa. The enzyme is not glycosylated. Structural investigation of the enzyme product, vomilenine, demonstrated that the alkaloid exists in…

3-Oxo-rhazinilam:  A New Indole Alkaloid from Rauvolfia serpentina × Rhazya stricta Hybrid Plant Cell Cultures

2000

A new monoterpenoid indole alkaloid, 3-oxo-rhazinilam (1), was isolated from intergeneric somatic hybrid cell cultures of Rauvolfia serpentina and Rhazya stricta, and the structure was determined by detailed 1D and 2D NMR analysis. It was also proved that 3-oxo-rhazinilam (1) is a natural constituent of the hybrid cells.

Dynamics of the biosynthesis of methylursubin in plant cells employing in vivo 13CNMR without labelling.

1995

Abstract In vivo NMR experiments with a digital 600 MHz instrument, exploiting the natural abundance of 13C, allowed us for the first time to follow the biosynthesis of the newly detected glycoside, methylursubin ( 4- methoxyphenyl -O-β- d -primeveroside ), from 4-methoxyphenol through the intermediate methylarbutin in cell suspensions of the Indian medical plant, Rauwolfia serpentina. The metabolic dynamics indicate that, within 48 hr, 4-methoxyphenol is almost completely converted into the primeveroside, methylursubin. Because of the higher sensitivity at 150.9 MHz compared to that at 100.6 MHz, measuring times could be reduced to 1.5 hr. This allows detailed monitoring of the conversion …

Isolation and Structure Elucidation of a New Indole Alkaloid from Rauvolfia serpentina Hairy Root Culture: The First Naturally Occurring Alkaloid of …

2002

A new monoterpenoid indole alkaloid, 10-hydroxy- N(alpha)-demethyl-19,20-dehydroraumacline ( 1), was isolated as a mixture of E- and Z-isomers from hairy root culture of Rauvolfia serpentina Benth. ex Kurz (Apocynaceae) and the structure was determined by 1D and 2D NMR analyses. The new indole alkaloid represents the first naturally occurring alkaloid of the raumacline group and its putative biosynthetical pathway is discussed.

In vivo monitoring of alkaloid metabolism in hybrid plant cell cultures by 2D cryo-NMR without labelling

2003

Non-invasive measurements of alkaloid metabolism in plant cell suspension cultures of a somatic hybrid from Rauvolfia serpentina Benth. ex Kurz and Rhazya stricta Decaisne were carried out. When cell samples were taken sequentially from a stock feeding experiment, measuring times for in vivo NMR of 40 min were sufficient for following conversions of alkaloids at the natural abundance of 13C. Degradation of ajmaline added to the cells at 1.6 mM concentration to raumacline could be monitored after 96 h on a standard 800 MHz NMR instrument (Avance 800). Feeding vinorine an intermediate of ajmaline biosynthesis at 1.8 mM showed with a 500 MHz CryoProbe that the alkaloid enters two metabolic rou…

Umbilical cord blood transplantation from unrelated donors in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia

2014

Clinical Trial; Journal Article; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; There are very few disease-specific studies focusing on outcomes of umbilical cord blood transplantation for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We report the outcome of 45 patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia who underwent myeloablative single unit cord blood transplantation from unrelated donors within the GETH/GITMO cooperative group. Conditioning regimens were based on combinations of thiotepa, busulfan, cyclophospamide or fludarabine, and antithymocyte globulin. At the time of transplantation, 35 patients (78%) were in first complete remission, four (8%) …
