Descripción: Knowledge on the biosynthetic pathways of the monoter­pene alkaloids is enormous, but little is known about their mechanism of transporting system from the plant cell. There is not concrete evi­dence confirming the role of ABC transporters in the secretion of monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) in Catharanthus roseus. There­fore, in order to determine the role of different transporting systemsinvolved in the MIAs translocation, we employed a pharmacological approach by using transport inhibitors such as, KCN, Na3VO4, quini­dine and glibenclamide in hairy root cultures of C. roseus. It was found that the accumulation of ATP drastically decreased in the pres­ence of KCN or 100 μM acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)/100 μM KCN. The treatment with the inhibitors KCN and glibenclamide in the pres­ence of ASA significantly increased the ajmalicine secretion com­pared to the control. The secretion of serpentine was undetected during the first 24 h in all the samples. Treatment with the inhibitors quinidine and glibenclamide provoked a significant reduction of ser­pentine secretion in the hairy roots compared to the control. Based on our results, we found evidence that ABC transporters might partici­pate in the secretion of MIAs by C. roseus hairy roots.
