A number of hydroxylated diterpenoids were obtained from the microbial transformation of isosteviol lactone (4 alpha-carboxy-13 alpha-hydroxy-13,16-seco-ent-19-norbeyeran-16-oic acid 13,16-lactone) (2) with Mucor recurvatus MR 36, Aspergillus niger BCRC 31130, and Absidia pseudocylindrospora ATCC 24169. Incubation of 2 with M. recurvatus and Asp. niger led to isolation of seven known compounds (1 and 3-8). Incubation of 2 with Abs. pseudocylindrospora produced 5 and six previously unreported compounds (9-14). The structures of these isolated compounds were deduced by high-field NMR techniques (H-1, C-13, DEPT, COSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC), and those of 9 and 11 were further confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Subsequently, the inhibitory effects on activator protein-1 (AP-1) activation in lipo-polysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages of all of these compounds were evaluated. Compounds 2-5, 8, 9, 11, and 12 exhibited significant inhibitory activity, while 3 was more potent than the reference compound of dexamethasone. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
