Microbial transformation of ursolic acid by Syncephalastrum racemosum (Cohn) Schroter AS 3.264
摘要:
Biotransformation of ursolic acid by the filamentous fungus Syncephalastrum racemosum (Cohn) Schroter AS 3.264 yielded five metabolites. Their structures were identified as 3 beta,21 beta-dihydroxy-urs-11-en-28-oic acid-13-lactone, 3 beta,7 beta,21 beta-trihydroxy-urs-11-en-28-oic acid-13-lactone, 1 beta,3 beta-dihydroxy-urs-12-en-21-one-28-oic acid, 1 beta,3 beta,21 beta-trihydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid and 11,26-epoxy-3 beta,21 beta-dihydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid based on NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses. The condensation reactions to form 28-oic acid-13-lactone ring and 11,26-epoxy ring are not frequently seen for the biotransformation of triterpenoids. One compound showed moderate inhibitory activity against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
