Department of Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 56455 abstract.—Papaver bracteatum was established as cell suspension culture, as suspension culture with callus grown roots, and as suspension culture containing embryoids and shoots. Alkaloid analysisusing thin layer chromatography and reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography detected the presence of thebaine (0.007%) in shoot cultures. Papaver somniferum cell suspension cultures and suspen-sion cultures containing callus grown roots were established also. Cryptopine was isolated and identified by its mass spectrum.Papaver somniferum L. is the most important source of the opium alkaloids codeine and morphine. P. bracteatum Lindl. is another important source of these alkaloids because the mature capsule contains up to 3.5% thebaine at a purity of 95%(1, 2). Thebaine is readily converted to codeine by standardchemical pro-cedures. Tissue cultures of Papaver may provide an alternative source for these alkaloids (2). Tissue cultures of Papaver have been grown in modified Murashige and Skoog Medium (revised tobacco medium) and Prairie Regional Laboratory B-5 Medium (4). Papaver callus grown in vitro produced alkaloids in low con-centrations, phenanthrine-type (morphine) alkaloids were produced infrequently (5). However, the spectrum of alkaloids accumulated in the cells included aporphine (6), protopine (7), benzophenanthrine (8), phthalideisoquinoline (5, 9) and benzylisoquinoline types (9). Absence of enzymes for the conversion of (—)-R-reticuline (see fig. 1) may be responsible for thedeficiency in phenanthrine alkaloid production (10). Some cultures have a limited capacity to biotransform thebaine to codeine (11) or codeinone to codeine (10), while the cultures themselvesdo not produce any phenanthrine alkaloids.
