MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611070922 A) filed by Noida International University on June 08, 2026, for In Vitro Production System For Berberine Using Elicitation And Root Culture Bioreactors.
Inventors include Arpita Kusha; Rajasekaran Chandrasekaran; Abhijeet Panigrahy; and Rahul Kumar Singh.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: The present invention provides a scalable, in vitro system for the sustainable production of berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid with significant therapeutic value. The system integrates hairy root and adventitious root cultures with elicitor-based stimulation and gene expression enhancement to overcome the limitations of conventional plant-based extraction. A modular bioreactor setup enables continuous root biomass growth, elicitor delivery, and real-time activation of biosynthetic pathways through genetic regulation. This invention offers improved yield, consistency, and environmental sustainability for berberine production, supporting pharmaceutical and industrial applications.
