Analysis of Rauwolfia Alkaloids Employing Capillary Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry
1997
Abstract Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) was applied to analyse extracts of roots and cell suspension cultures from Rauwolfia serpentina. Most of the alkaloids known to be present in the respective plant material have been resolved via CE and assigned according to their electrospray mass spectra.
Chapter 2 Biosynthesis in Rauwolfia serpentina Modern Aspects of an Old Medicinal Plant
1995
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a research on Rauwolfia , which was achieved after the generation of a cell suspension with extraordinary growth characteristics and physiological behavior. The investigations demonstrated that a range of techniques is now available for the clarification of complete metabolic pathways, provided that the appropriate efficient biological system is available. The isolation and identification of each single enzyme have almost become routine, even if an extremely sensitive protein analytic technique is necessary when several kilograms of fresh plant cells are reduced to a few micrograms of homogenous protein. The successful identification of a total of 20…
