Effects of Precursors and Exogenous Taxanes on Taxane Production by Cell Suspension Cultures

전구체 및 외부공급 Taxane이 세포배양에 의한 Taxane 생산에 미치는 영향

Effects of three kinds of precursors as well as exogenous taxanes on the production of taxol and its derivatives were investigated in Taxus cuspidata and Taxus brevifolia cell suspension cultures. When geraniol was added as a precursor of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate to enhance diterpenoid metabolism, production of some taxanes including taxol was enhanced. The time of addition and amount of feeding were found to be important factors. Feeding of camphor and menthol resulted in negative effects on taxol production. Influences of exogenous taxanes on taxane production by cell cultures were found to be very complicated. When taxol, baccatin III, cephalomannine were exogenously added into the culture, production of baccatin III, 7-epi-10-deacetyltaxol, 10-deacetyltaxol was increased respectively.

Diterpenoid 생합성의 중요한 전구체인 geranyl­g geranyl pyrophosphate의 공급을 위해 외부에서 geraniol을 넣어 주었을 때 taxol을 포함한 일부 taxane의 생산이 증대 됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 투여 시기와 투여량에 따라 결과가 크게 변화하였다. Camphor와 menthol은 taxol과 같은 terpenoid 계열의 물질이지만 외부에서 공급하였을 때에는 taxol 생산을 증대시키는 효과는 없었다. 외부에서 인위적으로 taxol과 cephalomannine, baccatin ill 를 공급했을 때 모든 경우에서 taxal 생산은 자극받지 않았으며 taxal을 공급했을 경우에는 bacca tin ill 의 생산이, cephalamannine을 공급했을 경우에는 7 -epl- 1 Q-deacetyltaxol의 생산이, 그리고 baccatin ill을 공급했을 경우에는 10-deacetyltaxol의 생산이 각각 가장 많이 중대하였다.
