Chemical Name:10-Deacetyl-baccatin-III
Synoms:10-DAB-III;C23H36O10;10-DAB
Botanical Source:leaves of yew trees
Basic Function:excellent anti-cancer properties.Remark
The 10-DAB III content in control was 82.79 mg/g D.W. The highest content of 10-DAB III (153.49 mg/g D.W.) was determined in roots cultivated for 1 week in the medium containing 10 mM of vanadyl sulphate. After the longer time of elicitation with all applied doses of vanadyl sulphate (1, 10, 100 mM) a significant decrease in 10-DAB III content was observed. The 10-DAB III accumulation diminished in "hairy" roots elicited with chitosan which was added to the medium in three concentrations: 0.2, 2 and 10 mg/dm3. Also the treatment with 100 mM of methyl jasmonate caused the decrease in 10-DAB III content.
