Optimized Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Lignans from Linum Species with Green Solvents.

ABSTRACT: Lignans are plant phenols derived from phenylpropanoids. They play a significant role in plant defense and have features that make them appealing for pharmaceutical applications. Lignans can be obtained by plant in vitro cultures; their production by adventitious and hairy roots of Linum species seems to be a promising alternative to chemical synthesis. In the context of large-scale production, it is necessary to optimize their extraction from plants tissue by choosing the more suitable solvent and extraction procedure, paying attention to the use of green media and methods. With the aim to select the best conditions for the extraction of two interesting lignans (justicidin B and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin) from Linum tissues, different green solvents and the method of ultrasou
