Abstract:
AimTo study the microbial transformation of sinenxan A. MethodsChoose two strains of Fungi (
Mucor spinosus AS 3.345 0 and
Cunninghamella echinulata AS 3.340 0) and a strain of bacterium (
Proteus vulgaris AS 1.120 8) to transform the substrate. ResultsThree products were obtained and identified as 10-deacetylsinenxan A1, 6α-hydroxy-10-deacetylsinenxan A2 and 9α-hydroxy-10-deacetylsinenxan A3 respectively. ConclusionSinenxan A is facile to be transformed by microorganisms, the 10-acetyl group of which is an active group.
