Popis: Young leaves of Stephania glabra (ROXB.) Miers. (Menispermaceae) were used to establish callus cultures with the goal of studying their ability to produce the valuable alkaloid stepharine. The establishment of callus cultures from this plant is extremely difficult because primary calli are not viable and must be transferred to a liquid culture medium for subsequent subculturing. All obtained cultures possessed high morphogenic or rhizogenic potential. The methanolic extracts of two examined cell lines were analyzed by HPLC with high-resolution mass spectrometry to determine the alkaloid composition. Eleven alkaloids were detected in both cultures, including stepharine, magnoflorine, menisperine, roemerine, palmatine, corydalmine, N-methylcorydalmine, columbamine, tetrahydropalmatine, jatrorrhizine and tetrandrine. The predominant alkaloid was stepharine, the structure of which was identified through 1H and 13C NMR, UV, HRMS and tandem MS. Quantitative HPLC-UV analysis showed that stepharine was produced at high levels (0.9 % dry cell weight) in the morphogenic callus culture S2-L cultivated in liquid media. To our knowledge, this is the highest level of stepharine production identified in plant cell cultures. The overall production parameters of the culture have remained stable over a long-term cultivation period for 3 years.
