    Biotransformation of Ruscogenins by Cunninghamella Blakesleeana Nrrl 1369 and Neoruscogenin by Endophytic Fungus Neosartorya Hiratsukae

    Biotransformation of steroidal ruscogenins (neoruscogenin and ruscogenin) was carried out with Cunninghamella blakesleeana NRRL 1369 and endophytic fungus Neosartorya hiratsukae yielding mainly P450 monooxygenase products together with a glycosylated compound. Fermentation of ruscogenins (75:25, neoruscogenin-ruscogenin mixture) with C. blakesleeana yielded 8 previously undescribed hydroxylated compounds. Furthermore, microbial transformation of neoruscogenin by endophytic fungus N. hiratsukae afforded three previously undescribed neoruscogenin derivatives. While hydroxylation at C-7, C-12, C-14, C-21 with further oxidation at C-1 and C-7 were observed with C. blakesleeana, N. hiratsukae biotransformation provided C-7 and C-12 hydroxylated compounds along with C-12 oxidized and C-1(O) glycosylated derivatives. The structures of the metabolites were elucidated by 1-D (1H, 13C and DEPT135) and 2-D NMR (COSY, HMBC, HMQC, NOESY, ROESY) as well as HR-MS analyses.

    Biotransformation of Cyclocanthogenol by the Endophytic Fungus Alternaria Eureka 1e1bl1
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Ekiz, Güner; Duman, Seda; Bedir, Erdal
    The microbial transformation of cyclocanthogenol (CCG), Astragalus sp. originated sapogenin, by the endophytic fungus Alternaria eureka 1E1BL1 isolated from Astragalus angustifolius was investigated. Hydroxylation, oxidation, epoxidation, O-methylation, ring-expansion and methyl migration reactions were observed on the triterpenoid skeleton. As a result, eight metabolites were isolated and the structures of the previously undescribed compounds were established by 1-D, 2-D NMR and HR-MS analyses.

    Specialized Metabolites From the Aerial Parts of Centaurea Polyclada Dc.
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Demir, Serdar; Karaalp, Canan; Bedir, Erdal
    The genus Centaurea L. (Asteraceae) is represented by 200 taxa in the flora of Turkey and several Centaurea species are used as herbal remedies against different conditions. Previous phytochemical investigations on this genus generally revealed the isolation of sesquiterpene lactones and flavonoid derivatives. In our continuous search on Centaurea genus, a phytochemical study was performed on Centaurea polyclada DC., an endemic of West Anatolia. Previously undescribed two sesquiterpene-amino acid conjugates, an elemane and an eudesmane derivative were isolated from the aerial parts of Centaurea polyclada, together with eight known compounds; two elemane derivatives, three flavonoids, a lignan, a phenolic glucoside and a phenylpropanoid glucoside. Structural elucidation of the compounds was based on spectroscopic evidence, including 1D and 2D NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry, chemical degradation results and reference data comparison. Sesquiterpene-amino acid conjugates are representatives of an unusual group of sesquiterpenes, and elemane-amino acid conjugates are herein reported for the first time in nature.
