Microbial transformation of dehydroandrographolide by Cunninghamella elegans

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2009;11(2):187-91. doi: 10.1080/10286020802619280.

Abstract

The biotransformation of dehydroandrographolide (1) by Cunninghamella elegans was performed and four transformed products were obtained. Based on their extensive spectral data, the structures of these metabolites were identified as 3-oxo-dehydroandrographolide (2), 3-oxo-2beta-hydroxy-dehydroandrographolide (3), 3-oxo-8beta,17alpha-epoxydehydroandrographolide (4), 3,19-dihydroxy-7,11,13-ent-labdatrien-15,16-olide (5), respectively. Among them, products 3-5 are new compounds.
