The pentacyclic triterpenoids methyl oleanolate, methyl maslinate, methyl 3 beta-hydroxyolean-9(11),12-dien-28-oate, and methyl 2 alpha,3 beta-dihydroxy-12 beta,13 beta-epoxyolean-28-oate were biotransformed by Rhizomucor miehei CECT 2749. Microbial transformation of methyl oleanolate produced only a 7 beta,30-di-hydroxylated metabolite with a conjugated 9(11),12-diene system in the C ring. Biotransformation of the substrate with this 9(11),12-diene system gave the same 7 beta,30-dihydroxylated compound together with a 7 beta,15 alpha,30-trihydroxyl derivative. The action of this fungus (R. miehei) on methyl maslinate was more varied, isolating metabolites with a 30-hydroxyl group, a 9(11),12-diene system, an 11-oxo group, or an 12-oxo group. Microbial transformation of the substrate with a 12 beta,13 beta-epoxy function resulted in the isolation of two metabolites with 12-oxo and 28,13 beta-olide groups, hydroxylated or not at C-7 beta, together with a 30-hydroxy-12-oxo derivative. The structures of these derivatives were deduced by extensive and rigorous spectroscopic studies. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
