| Biotransformation of Two Cytotoxic Terpenes, a-Santonin and Sclareol by Botrytis cinerea  | | | | Abstract
| Two cytotoxic terpenes, a-santonin (1) and sclareol (3) were biotransformed by a plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea to produce oxidized metabolites in high yields. a-Santonin (1) on fermentation with the fungus for ten days afforded a hydroxylated metabolite iden tified as llß-hydroxy-a-santonin (2) in a high yield (83%), while sclareol (3) was metabolized to epoxysclareol (4) (64%) and a new compound 8-deoxy-14,15-dihydro-15-chloro-14-hy-droxy-8,9-dehydrosclareol (5) (7%), representing a rare example of microbial halogenation. | | | |
