The insecticidal sesquiterpenes cadina-4,10(15)-dien-3-one and aromadendr-1(10)-en-9-one were administered to the fungus Cyathus africanus ATCC 35853. Biotransformation of the former produced (4R)-9 alpha-hydroxycadin-10(15)-en-3-one, while the latter gave 2 beta-hydroxyaromadendr-1(10)-en-9-one, 2 alpha-hydroxyaromadendr-1(10)-en-9-one and 10 alpha-hydroxy-1 beta,2 beta-epoxyaromadendran-9-one. The bioconversion of santonin led to the production of two analogues, 11,13-dihydroxysantonin and the hitherto unreported 8 alpha,13-dihydroxysantonin, while cedrol yielded 3 beta,8 beta-dihydroxycedrane and 3 alpha,8 beta-dihydroxycedrane. Stemod-12-ene, a diterpene, was transformed to 2-oxostemar-13-ene, a hitherto unknown analogue with a rearranged carbon framework. When methyl betulonate, a triterpenoid belonging to the lupane family, was supplied to the fungus 18 alpha-ursane and 18 alpha-oleanane derivatives, namely 19 beta-hydroxy-3-oxo-18 alpha-oleanan-28-oic acid and 19 alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-18 alpha-ursan-28-oic acids, were generated. There are no previous reports of fungal transformation of a triterpene in which a skeletal rearrangement occurred. All substrate administration experiments were done in the presence of the terpene cyclase inhibitor chlorocholine chloride (CCC), using the single phase - pulse feed method. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
