Taxuyunnanine C (1) and its analogs (2 and 3), the C-14 oxygenated 4(20), 11-taxadienes from callus Cultures of Taxus sp., were regio- and stereo-selectively hydroxylated at the 7 beta position by a fungus, Abisidia coerulea IFO 4011, and it was interesting that the longer the alkyl chain of the acyloxyl group at C-14 became, the higher the yield of 7 beta-hydroxylated product was. Besides the three 7 beta-hydroxylated products (5, 9, 17). other nine new products (7, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20 and 21) and six known products (4, 6 8, 10, 13 and 19) were obtained. Subsequently. the acetylated derivatives (24 and 27) of 7 beta- and 9 alpha-hydroxylated products of I were regio- and stereo-specifically hydroxylated at the 9 alpha position by Ginkgo cells and 7 position by A. coerulea, respectively. Thus, the two specific oxidations have been combined. These bioconversions would provide not only valuable intermediates for the semi-synthesis of paclitaxel or other bioactive taxoids front 1 and its analogs. but also some useful hints for the biosynthetic pathway of taxoid in the natural Taxus plant.
