Description:
The percentage of podophyllotoxin (PTOX) and its congener lignans were measured by HPLC in Linum mucronatum ssp. mucronatum (Linaceae) fresh plant organs. The highest amounts of PTOX (0.595 ± 0.060% g/g dry wt) and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin (MPTOX) (1.491 ± 0.125% g/g dry wt) were found in the plant sexual organs. Whereas, the highest levels of β-peltatin, 5′-demethoxy-MPTOX and yatein were found in not developed buds, petals and sepals, respectively.
