Biotransformation of 3I2-hydroxy-5-en-steroids by Mucor silvaticus

The biotransformation of four 3I2-hydroxy-5-en-steroids with varying substituents at C-16 or/and C-17 by Mucor silvaticus was investigated. The characterization of the metabolites was performed by IR, MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 2-D NMR. All the examined substrates were transformed, mainly by 7I--hydro...

Description
Summary:The biotransformation of four 3I2-hydroxy-5-en-steroids with varying substituents at C-16 or/and C-17 by Mucor silvaticus was investigated. The characterization of the metabolites was performed by IR, MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 2-D NMR. All the examined substrates were transformed, mainly by 7I--hydroxylation. Studies carried out with M. silvaticus demonstrated the versatility of this organism in introducing hydroxyl groups at the 7I--, 9I--, 11I--, and 14I--positions in 3-ol-5-ene steroids. The relationships between the substrate structures and hydroxylated positions are also discussed.
