          Abstract

          Aloe vera L. es actualmente una de las plantas de mayor importancia económica y medicinal debido a los metabolitos secundarios que produce, tales como la aloína, que es utilizada en la industria cosmética y farmacéutica. En este trabajo se cuantificó la producción de este compuesto en callos y hojas de brotes regenerados in vitro, cultivados durante 3, 6 y 12 meses, comparándolos con la producción en medios controles y plantas silvestres de esta especie. Se utilizó medio Murashige y Skoog (MS) suplementado con diferentes concentraciones hormonales. La edad del cultivo fue factor importante en la producción de aloína en el material estudiado (hojas de brotes regenerados in vitro). Se observó que la producción de aloína fue muy variable, siendo mayor en callos basales cultivados en el medio que contenía 0,5 mg·L-1 de 2,4-D y 0,1 mg·L-1 de cinetina, con resultados superiores a los encontrados en los medios controles y en hojas de plantas silvestres. El contenido de aloína en hojas de brotes regenerados in vitro cultivados en medio MS con 0,5 mg·L-1 de 2,4-D y 5 mg·L-1 de cinetina, fue menor al de los callos pero levemente superior al de plantas silvestres. Estos resultados muestran que los cultivos de callos son una fuente importante para la producción de metabolitos secundarios en zábila.

          Aloe vera L. is currently an important commercial and medicinal plant because it produces secondary metabolites, such as aloin, which is used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In this research, we quantified the production of this compound in calluses and leaves of in vitro regenerated shoots, cultured for 3, 6 and 12 months, compared with the content in controls and wild plants. The Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with different hormone levels was used. The age of the cultures was an important factor for aloin production in the studied material (leaves of in vitro regenerated shoots). The aloin production was variable, being higher in basal callus grown on medium containing 2,4-D (0.5 mg·L-1) and kinetin (0.1 mg·L-1), and higher than the production observed in control media and wild plant leaves. The aloin content in leaves of in vitro regenerated shoots cultured in MS supplemented with 2,4-D (0.5 mg.L-1) and kinetin (5 mg·L-1) was lower than that in the callus but slightly higher than in wild plants. These results show that callus cultures represent a promising source for secondary metabolites production in A. vera.

            Taxol content in the bark of Himalayan Yew in relation to tree age and sex.

            M. Nadeem (2002)
            Taxol content in the bark of Taxus baccata trees growing in a homogenous (uniform) environment at Jageshwar, District Almora in Central Himalaya has been quantified. The average taxol concentration in the bark of sampled trees was 0.0558+/-0.008% (of dry wt.) and was about 64% higher for male plants (averaged across tree age) in comparison to female trees. Maximum taxol content was recorded in the bark samples collected from trees of >110 yrs age. ANOVA indicates a significant difference in the taxol content of bark from trees of different ages, however, differences were not significant between sexes. Taxol was quantified by HPLC using a standard curve prepared with authentic taxol; the identification of bark taxol was confirmed by UV and mass spectrometry. The total taxol content of the bark of Taxus trees across an age series was found to range between 0.064 to 8.032 g/tree, and a tree of about 100 yrs age can yield 5.74 kg dry bark.

              Antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and mutagenic investigation of the South African tree aloe (Aloe barberae).

              In recent times, many products ranging from aloe drinks to aloe gels, powders, capsules, and creams have appeared on the commercial market prepared from different aloe species including Aloe barberae. These products are used in ethnomedicine to treat various conditions including gastrointestinal disorders, insect bites, skin burns and other skin injuries by traditional communities.
