The cyclization reaction of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N'-phenylthioureas 2 containingambident nucleophile was ex-amined in the combination of a variety ofbases and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (TsCl).N-(2-Hydroxyeth-yl) thioureas 2 were readily obtained in high yields from the reaction of the corresponding 1,2-aminoalcohols with phenyl isothiocyanate, avoiding the need for O-protection.The use of a one-pot reaction (NaOH/TsCl) was found to be most effective in producing the requisite 2-phenylaminothiazolines (S-cyclization) 3 in the case ofthioureas 2a-2e derived from N-unsubstituted aminoalcohols,while in the thioureas 2f and 2g prepared from N-substituted aminoalcohols the combination of Et3N and TsCl led to the S-cyclization products.

Whole plant cultures of Centella asiatica (L.) Urban in vitro were established and the effects of basal media, some macro elements and sucrose concentration on productivity of triterpene glycosides (madecassoside and asiaticoside: M$\varepsilon$A) were investigated. Among the media (MS, B5, RCM) tested, MS and 0.5 RCM medium were the best for plant growth and M$\varepsilon$A production, respectively. However, taking into account the M$\varepsilon$A productivity, B5 medium was superior (M$\varepsilon$A: 14.28 mg/g dry wt.). Major macronutrients of B5 medium adjusted with the concentration of 25 mM KNO$_3$,1 mM NaH$_2$PO$_4$, 1 mM CaCl$_2$ and 1~10 mM MgSO$_4$, caused elevated or optimized levels of M$\varepsilon$A. On sucrose concentration, the highest yields of M$\varepsilon$A were obtained from 6% sucrose.
