Bioconversion of Callus-Produced Precursors to Silymarin Derivatives in <i>Silybum marianum</i> Leaves for the Production of Bioactive Compounds

The present study aimed to investigate the enzymatic potential of <i>Silybum marianum</i> leaves to bioconvert phenolic acids produced in <i>S. marianum</i> callus into silymarin derivatives as chemopreventive agent. Here we demonstrate that despite the fact that leaves of &l...
