A filamentous fungus, Cunninghamella blakesleeana AS 3.153, was used as a microbial model of mammalian metabolism to transform verapamil, a calcium channel antagonist. The metabolites of verapamil were separated and assayed by the liquid chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry method. After 96 h of incubation, nearly 93% of the original drug was metabolized to 23 metabolites. Five major metabolites were isolated by semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatography and were identified by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and electrospray mass spectrometry. Other metabolites were characterized according to their chromatographic behavior and mass spectral data. The major metabolic pathways of verapamil transformation by the fungus were N dealkylation, O demethylation, and sulfate conjugation. The phase I metabolites of verapamil (introduction of a functional group) by C. blakesleeana paralleled those in mammals; therefore, C. blakesleeana could be a useful tool for generating the mammalian phase I metabolites of verapamil. 相似文献

The fungus Cunninghamella blakesleeana NCIM 687, industrially recognized for progesterone biotransformation, was found to produce two siderophores at low stress of iron (upto 40 M iron in the growth medium). HPLC analysis and direct comparison with authentic samples characterized one of them as ferrichrysin (hydroxamate type) and other probably as a member of the coprogen family of siderophores. 相似文献

Microbial Transformations of Natural Antitumor Agents: Products of Rotenone and Dihydrorotenone Transformation by Cunninghamella blakesleeana 下载免费PDF全文
Various species of Absidia, Aspergillus, Cunninghamella, Trichothecium, Penicillium, and Phanerochaete were found to transform rotenone to one or more metabolites. Two biotransformation products were isolated from a preparative-scale incubation of rotenone with Cunninghamella blakesleeana and identified as 1′,2′-dihydro-1′,2′-dihydroxyrotenone and 3′-hydroxyrotenone (amorphigenin). The catalytic reduction of the isopropylene side chain of rotenone resulted in the formation of 1′,2′-dihydrorotenone. The latter was transformed by C. blakesleeana to 2′-hydroxy-1′,2′-dihydrorotenone. 相似文献

Cunninghamella blakesleeana DSM 1906 was found to be an efficient biocatalyst for the biotransformation of cycloalkylcarboxylic acids into hydroxy and oxo derivatives. When cultivated in submerged culture, the fungus grew in pellets. In comparison with malt extract-glucose-peptone-yeast extract medium (medium E), Czapek-Dox medium was found to reduce pellet size. Cycloalkylcarboxylic acids were protected against microbial degradation by chemical transformation into 2-cycloalkyl-1,3-benzoxazoles. The transformations of protected cyclopentyl-, cyclohexyl-, cycloheptyl-, and cyclooctylcarboxylic acids by C. blakesleeana were investigated. The biotransformations were performed in medium E by using an aerated, stirred-tank bioreactor. The transformation of 2-cyclopentyl-1,3-benzoxazole yielded (1S,3S)-3-(benz-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)cyclopentan-1-ol as the main product. The main by-product was (1R)-3-(benz-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)cyclopentan-1-one, and 2-(benz-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)cyclopentan-1-ol was also obtained in small amounts. During the experiment, the enantiomeric excess of the main product increased up to 64%. 2-Cyclohexyl-1,3-benzoxazole was hydroxylated to 4-(benz-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)cyclohexan-1-ol. 2-Cycloheptyl-1,3-benzoxazole and 2-cyclooctyl-1,3-benzoxazole were transformed into several alcohols and ketones, all in low yields (2 to 19%). 相似文献

A filamentous fungus Cunninghamella blakesleeana was screened for its ability to biotransform the anthelmintic drug albendazole. The fungus produced three metabolites in
the presence of the carbon and nitrogen sources studied. The transformation was identified by HPLC and the structures of the
transformation products were assigned by LC-MS-MS analysis and on the basis of previous reports. The results indicated that
the fungus metabolized albendazole into albendazole sulfoxide (M1), albendazole sulfone (M2) and an N-methyl metabolite of albendazole sulfoxide (M3). The effect of carbon and nitrogen source on the biotransformation of albendazole
was significant. Among the carbon and nitrogen sources studied, fructose and urea respectively produced maximum extent of
biotransformation in terms of substrate depletion. Among the carbon sources studied, maltose produced a higher percentage
of M1 whereas M2 and M3 were produced to their maximum extent in presence of d-fructose in terms of metabolite per unit quantity of biomass. In the case of nitrogen sources, ammonium acetate, calcium
nitrate and barium nitrate produced maximum percentage of M1, M2 and M3 respectively. The results reveal that the carbon and
nitrogen source significantly influence the microbial transformation both qualitatively and quantitatively. 相似文献

Cunninghamella blakesleeana was highly sensitive to Cu and Co on a medium containing NaNO3 as the sole nitrogen source. The nitrate reductive pathway was altered by Cu and Co, and NO-2 accumulated in the medium. Under conditions of Cu toxicity, the mycelium and the cell walls acquired a blue color, and most of the Cu was located in the cell walls, which differed in several aspects from cell walls derived from Co-containing or control cultures. At half-maximal growth inhibition by Cu (2.5 micrograms/mL or 39.3 microM) or Co (3.5 micrograms/mL or 59.4 microM), the mycelia contained 1.5 micrograms Cu or 1.0 microgram Co/mg dry tissue, respectively, but the isolated cell walls contained 33.5 micrograms Cu or 1.8 micrograms Co/mg dry cell wall. The phosphorous content of mycelia from Co-containing cultures was the same as that from control cultures, whereas that of mycelia from Cu-containing cultures contained 36% less. However, the phosphorous content of the cell walls from mycelia cultured in the presence of Cu or Co was two- and three-fold higher, respectively, than that of cell walls from control cultures. The cell walls of Cu-containing cultures contained significantly less hexosamine than the control cell walls, and chitin and chitosan were present in equal quantities. The cell walls of Co-containing cultures had the same amount of hexosamine as the control cell walls, but 88% of the hexosamine was present as chitosan and bound very little Co. The control cell walls contained approximately 60% chitosan.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We examined Cunninghamella elegans to determine its ability to transform amoxapine, a tricyclic antidepressant belonging to the dibenzoxazepine class of drugs. Approximately 57% of the exogenous amoxapine was metabolized to three metabolites that were isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry as 7-hydroxyamoxapine (48%), N-formyl-7-hydroxyamoxapine (31%), and N-formylamoxapine (21%). 7-Hydroxyamoxapine, a mammalian metabolite with biological activity, now can be produced in milligram quantities for toxicological evaluation. 相似文献

Biohydroxylation of 2-cyclopentyl-1,3-benzoxazole with the filamentous fungus Cunninghamella blakesleeana DSMZ 1906 was studied in a 15-l stirred tank reactor. The aim of the work was to avoid substrate limitation through sub-optimal
mixing by formation of pellets with a uniform pellet size distribution of 250–500 μm, obtained at an inoculum concentration
of 107 spores ml−1 and an agitation rate of 390 rpm. Due to the high toxicity of the educt, 2-cyclopentyl-1,3-benz- oxazole, on the fungus,
the medium composition, the time of educt addition, and the educt starting concentration were optimized to reach high educt
tolerance and hydroxylation activity. A good maintenance of biotransformation capacity was obtained without excessive loss
of activity of the biocatalyst by addition of 30 mg 2-cyclopentyl-1,3-benzoxazole/g biomass (cell dry mass) during the stationary
phase in a medium which was optimized in batch fermentations with experimental designs. An increase in product yield and quality
(enantiomeric excess) was achieved by developing feeding strategies combining the educt and medium components. The resulting
fermentation broth contained 450 mg l−1 of the product (1S,3S)-3-(benz-1,3-oxazol- 2-yl)cyclopentan-1-ol with an enantiomeric excess of 95%, which represents a 48% increase over former
reported results.

Therapeutic potential of nandrolone and its derivatives against leishmaniasis has been studied. A number of derivatives of nandrolone (1) were synthesized through biotransformation. Microbial transformation of nandrolone (1) with Cunninghamella echinulata and Cunninghamella blakesleeana yielded three new metabolites, 10β,12β,17β-trihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (2), 10β,16α,17β-trihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (3), and 6β,10β,17β-trihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (4), along with four known metabolites, 10β,17β-dihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (5), 6β,17β-dihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (6) 10β-hydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3,17-dione (7) and 16β,17β-dihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (8). Compounds 1–8 were evaluated for their anti-leishmanial activity. Compounds 1 and 8 showed a significant activity in vitro against Leishmania major. The leishmanicidal potential of compounds 1–8 (IC50 = 32.0 ± 0.5, >100, 77.39 ± 5.52, 70.90 ± 1.16, 54.94 ± 1.01, 80.23 ± 3.39, 61.12 ± 1.39 and 29.55 ± 1.14 μM, respectively) can form the basis for the development of effective therapies against the protozoal tropical disease leishmaniasis. 相似文献

Summary Scanning and transmission electron microscopy of Cunninghamella blakesleeana grown in the presence of toxic concentrations of copper and cobalt indicated that copper, but not cobalt, induced both morphological and ultrastructural changes. In contrast to the control or cobalt-grown cultures, the hyphae of copper-grown cultures (called blue mycelia) were larger in diameter, had a rough and granular surface, and the cell wall was thicker. The cytoplasm of the blue mycelia was also abnormal and was in a compressed state. X-Ray microprobe analysis indicated a lower content of magnesium and calcium in the blue mycelia and an elevated content of sulphur in both the blue and cobalt-grown mycelia. The protein composition of the cell walls of the blue mycelia, fractionated on a Sepharose-4B column saturated with copper, was different from that of control or cobalt-grown cultures, as shown by their amino acid composition. Hydroxyproline was present only in the cell wall proteins of the blue mycelia, citrulline and cystathionine were present only in the proteins of cobalt-grown cultures, and proline was absent in the cell wall protiens of the control cultures. 相似文献

Cunninghamella elegans metabolized 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene primarily at the methyl group to form 1- and 2-hydroxymethylnaphthalene, respectively. Other compounds isolated and identified were 1- and 2-naphthoic acids, 5-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid, 5-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, and phenolic derivatives of 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene. The metabolites were isolated by thin-layer and reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography and characterized by the application of UV-visible absorption, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectral techniques. Experiments with [8-14C]2-methylnaphthalene indicated that over a 72-h period, 9.8% of 2-methylnaphthalene was oxidized to metabolic products. The ratio of organic-soluble in water-soluble metabolites at 2 h was 92:8, and at 72 h it was 41:59. Enzymatic treatment of the 48-h aqueous phase with either beta-glucuronidase or arylsulfatase released 60% of the metabolites of 2-methylnaphthalene that were extractable with ethyl acetate. In both cases, the major conjugates released were 5-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid. The ratio of the water-soluble glucuronide conjugates to sulfate conjugates was 1:1. Incubation of C. elegans with 2-methylnaphthalene under an 18O2 atmosphere and subsequent mass spectral analysis of 2-hydroxymethylnaphthalene indicated that hydroxylation of the methyl group is catalyzed by a monooxygenase. 相似文献

The occurrence and regulation of cytochrome P450 (P450) in Mortierella alpina and Cunninghamella blakesleeana have been studied to elucidate the enzymatic basis by which 2-cyclopentyl-1,3-benzoxazole is hydroxylated to 3-(benz-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)cyclopentan-1-ol
by these organisms. The occurrence of P450 in M. alpina was first been shown after induction with n-hexane. An assay protocol was developed with n-hexane-induced cells and adapted to the handling of fungal mycelia. This allowed the direct spectral determination of P450
in non-fractionated whole-cell suspensions, and an investigation of its regulation. Small amounts of P450 have been detected
in early-stationary-phase cells in the absence of exogenous inducers. Addition of 2-cyclopentyl-1,3-benzoxazole or n-hexane resulted in a significant induction of P450. Induction by n-hexane occurs in all phases of growth but decreases rapidly during the stationary phase. The rate of 2-cyclopentyl-1,3-benzoxazole
hydroxylation correlated with the content of substrate-induced P450 but not with the level of n-hexane-induced P450. Hydroxylation rates were significantly diminished in the presence of typical P450 inhibitors, the interaction
of which with P450 was shown with isolated microsomes of M. alpina. It is concluded that a P450 enzyme is responsible for the hydroxylation of 2-cyclopentyl-1,3-benzoxazole, but that multiple
forms of P450 forms occur. Similarly, a dependence on P450 is shown by spectral as well as by inhibition studies for the hydroxylation
of this substrate by C. blakesleeana.

The biotransformation of the fluorinated anti-inflammatory drug flurbiprofen was investigated in Cunninghamella spp. Mono- and dihydroxylated metabolites were detected using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the major metabolite 4′-hydroxyflurbiprofen was isolated by preparative high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Cunninghamella elegans DSM 1908 and C. blakesleeana DSM 1906 also produced a phase II (conjugated) metabolite, which was identified as the sulfated drug via deconjugation experiments.One of the objectives of the recent European Union legislation governing the testing and evaluation of chemicals, REACH (Regulation, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), is to further reduce the need for animals in the testing process. Some microorganisms, such as the zygomycete fungus Cunninghamella and actinomycetes bacteria, have been shown to metabolize xenobiotic compounds in a fashion analogous to that of mammals (3, 5, 11, 17). It was suggested over 3 decades ago that microorganisms had potential as models of mammalian metabolism (16), although there are concerns about their predictive value (8). Nevertheless, certain microorganisms can be applied to the generation of useful quantities of drug metabolic intermediates (13), which is more desirable than isolation of these compounds from dosed animals, and avoids the concerns often associated with chemical synthesis, such as the use of toxic reagents and harsh reaction conditions.Owing to the desirable physicochemical properties of the fluorine atom (small Van der Waals radius, electronegativity, and strength of the carbon-fluorine bond), approximately 25% of drugs either currently on the market or in the pipeline are fluorinated (12). One such example is flurbiprofen [(RS)-2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenyl)propionic acid], which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in the treatment of inflammation caused by arthritis. In humans it is transformed to the phase I (oxidative) metabolites 4′-hydroxyflurbiprofen, 3′,4′-dihydroxyflurbiprofen, and 3′-hydroxy,4′-methoxyflurbiprofen; glucuronide and sulfate conjugates (phase II metabolites) have also been detected (9, 15). In equine urine additional hydroxylated and methoxylated metabolites were detected (20). Tracy et al. (18) demonstrated that only one cytochrome P450 isoform (2C9) is involved in the oxidation of flurbiprofen, which makes the drug a potentially useful in vivo probe for this particular isoform. Despite the prevalence of fluorinated drugs, only a few investigations have been undertaken to determine the microbial biotransformation of these compounds (7, 21). Here we describe the biotransformation of flurbiprofen by Cunninghamella species and the determination of the metabolites by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (1H and 19F), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).Three species of Cunninghamella were selected for the biotransformation experiments: C. elegans (strains DSM 1908, DSM 8217, and DSM 63299), C. echinulata DSM 1905, and C. blakesleeana DSM 1906. The fungi were grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar plates (Sigma) for 5 days at 26°C before being homogenized in 100 ml of sterile saline solution. The homogenate (10%, vol/vol) was used to inoculate 50 ml of fresh Sabouraud dextrose broth in 250-ml Erlenmeyer flasks, which were incubated at 28°C with shaking at 150 rpm. Following previously established procedures (2), 5 mg of flurbiprofen (Sigma) dissolved in dimethyl formamide (20 μl) was added to the cultures after 72 h, and the incubation was continued up to a further 120 h. Control experiments were conducted in the absence of either flurbiprofen or fungus. The cultures (supernatant and cells) were sonicated on ice (Sonicator U200S control; IKA Labortechnik) for 5 min at 50% amplitude, with intervals of 30 s after each minute to prevent overheating. The sonicates were centrifuged, the supernatant was extracted with 50 ml of ethyl acetate, and the extracts were evaporated to dryness. 相似文献

The fungus Cunninghamella elegans is a useful model of human catabolism of xenobiotics. In this paper, the biotransformation of fluorinated biphenyls by C. elegans was investigated by analysis of the culture supernatants with a variety of analytical techniques. 4-Fluorobiphenyl was principally transformed to 4-fluoro-4′-hydroxybiphenyl, but other mono- and dihydroxylated compounds were detected in organic extracts by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Additionally, fluorinated water-soluble products were detected by 19F NMR and were identified as sulphate and β-glucuronide conjugates. Other fluorobiphenyls (2-fluoro-, 4,4′-difluoro- and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-biphenyl) were catabolised by C. elegans, yielding mono- and dihydroxylated products, but phase II metabolites were detected from 4,4′-difluorobiphenyl only. 相似文献
