Caffeic acid oligomers in Lithospermum erythrorhizon cell suspension cultures.
Lithospermum erythrorhizon cells cultured in pigment production (M-9) medium produced lithospermic acid B, a dimerized caffeic acid ester derivative, in quantities similar to the production of shikonin. The cells also produced a related dimer, (+)-rabdosiin. In Linsmaier-Skoog liquid medium, which suppresses shikonin production, both lithospermic acid B and (+)-rabdosiin were still formed. Lithospermic acid, a caffeic acid-rosmarinic acid conjugate, was isolated as a main constituent in Lithospermum hairy root cultures. In the aerial parts of L. erythrorhizon, the content of these phenylpropanoid oligomers was relatively low compared to that of rosmarinic acid.
