Ecballium elaterium fruit juice is used for the treatment of sinusitis in Turkish folk medicine. The aim of this study was to increase the yield of cucurbitacin B, an anti-inflammatory compound previously isolated in various organs of E. elaterium, through tissue culture techniques. Higher yields of cucurbitacin B (1.126%) were obtained from the first subculture calluses from stem nodes in the presence of benzyl adenine (BA; 1 mg/l) and naphtalene acetic acid (NAA; 0.1 mg/l) in comparison with the yields obtained from plant material (0.01%).
在土耳其民间医学中，喷瓜果汁被用于治疗鼻窦炎。本研究的目的是通过组织培养技术提高葫芦素B的产量，葫芦素B是一种先前在喷瓜的各个器官中分离出的抗炎化合物。与从植物材料中获得的产量（0.01%）相比，在苄基腺嘌呤（BA；1毫克/升）和萘乙酸（NAA；0.1毫克/升）存在的情况下，从茎节的初代继代愈伤组织中获得了更高产量的葫芦素B（1.126%）。
