Production of secondary metabolites in the explant cultures of Trichocereus pachanoi (Cactaceae) Lucie Urbanová Diploma thesis Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Pharmacy Key words: Trichocereus pachanoi, the explant cultures, mescaline, secondary metabolites, prodrugs, elicitation, cinnamic acid, sodium cinnamate, tryptophan, ozone, methylene blue The aim of this thesis was the research of effect of selected precursors and elicitors for secondary metabolite production of mescaline in explant cultures Trichocereus pachanoi. Suspension cultures were cultivated on the Murashige and Skoog medium with addition of the growth regulators 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 6-benzylaminopurine. To observe changes in production these precursors: cinnamic acid, sodium cinnamate and tryptophan, and these elicitors: ozone and methylene blue, were selected. Precursors were prepared and used in concentrations of 50, 100 and 500 mg·l-1. Ozone was added in two time slots, 5 and 10 seconds. Methylene blue has been used in concentrations of 1, 10 and 100 mg·l-1. Cultivation with added compounds lasted for 24 and 168 hours. The content of mescaline was determined by HPLC analysis. A statistically significant effect on the production of mescaline in vitro culture was proved only with...
