Spirodela oligorrhiza (duckweed) is capable of transforming some steroids of the androstane series. Hydrolysis of the acetates of testosterone and of 3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one by this species yielded the corresponding alcohols. Further transformation of testosterone and reduction of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione indicated the interconversions of the hydroxyl-ketone function on C-17 and reduction of the Δ4-double bond to the trans-A/B system. Only a trace amount of 3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one underwent further transformations. 相似文献

An attempt was made to clarify how Pellicularia filamentosa f. sp. microsclerotia IFO 6298 capable of hydroxylating C21-steroids at the C-19 position converts C19-steroids, especially monohydroxyderivatives of androst-4-ene-3, 17-dione. Such substrates as 11β-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (I), androst-4-ene-3, 11, 17-trione (II), androsta-1,4-diene-3, 17-dione (III), 11β-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (IV), 14α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3, 17-dione (V), 15α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3, 17-dione (VI) and 9α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3, 17-dione (VII) were converted by the organism. All the main and several minor products were then isolated and identified. As a result it is concluded that this organism converts I and II into 14α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,11,17-trione, III and IV into 14α-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-diene-3,1l,17-trione, V into 11α 14α dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3, 17-dione (main) and 11β, 14α-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3, 17-dione (minor, a tentative structure), VI into 11β, 15α-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (main) and 15α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,11,17-trione (minor, a tentative structure) and VII into 9α, 14α-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3, 17-dione (main) and 6β, 9α-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (minor).In addition, the structural requirement of substrate for the 19-hydroxylation catalyzed by the organism and the influence of a hydroxyl group on steroid nucleus upon the 11β- and 14α-hydroxylations and the 11β-OH-dehydrogenation was discussed. 相似文献

The potential for biotransformation of the substrate 17β-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (testosterone) by six filamentous fungi, namely, Rhizopus oryzae ATCC 11145, Mucor plumbeus ATCC 4740, Cunninghamella echinulata var. elegans ATCC 8688a, Aspergillus niger ATCC 9142, Phanerochaete chrysosporium ATCC 24725 and Whetzelinia sclerotiorum ATCC 18687, was investigated. In this study both free cells and macerated mycelia immobilised in calcium alginate were utilised and the results (products, % yields, % transformation) were compared. In general the encapsulated cells of the microorganisms effectively generated products similar to those found using free cells. However, with immobilised macerated mycelia, isolation of the transformation products was expedited by the simple work up procedure, and their purification was facilitated by the absence of fungal secondary metabolites. Twenty seven analogues of testosterone were generated, wherein the androstane skeleton was functionalised at C-1β, -2β, -6β, -7α, -11α, -14, -15α, -15β and -16β by the moulds. Redox chemistry was also observed. Seven of the analogues, 6β,11α,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, 6β,14α,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, 2,6β-dihydroxyandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione, 2β,16β-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, 2β,6β-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, 2β,15β,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one and 2β,3α,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-ene, were novel compounds. Five others, namely, 7α,17β-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, 6β,14α-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, 15α,17β-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, 16β,17α-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one and 2β,16β,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, were fully characterised for the first time. 相似文献

Specific antiserum has been developed for use in measuring 11β-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3, 17-dione by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Rabbit antiserum was generated by employing the conjugate prepared by coupling 6β,11β-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione 6-hemisuccinate with bovine serum albumin. The antiserum bound 68% of 50 picograms of 11β-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione-[1,2,6,7-3H] during characterization at a dilution of 1:12,500. Among the numerous steroids tested for cross-reactivity, 5α-androstane-3,17-dione, androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, and 11β-hydroxy-5α-androstane-3, 17-dione showed 2%, 5%, and 30% cross-reactivity respectively. The Rivanol-treated antiserum was coupled to Enzacryl AA, in order to study the feasibility of a solid-phase RIA, and this complex showed 50% binding with the labeled antigen at a dilution of 1:3000. The complex retained high specificity and should prove useful in a simple solid-phase RIA. 相似文献

The biotransformation of dehydroepiandrosterone (1) with Macrophomina phaseolina was investigated. A total of eight metabolites were obtained which were characterized as androstane-3,17-dione (2), androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (3), androst-4-ene-17β-ol-3-one (4), androst-4,6-diene-17β-ol-3-one (5), androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol (6), androst-4-ene-3β-ol-6,17-dione (7), androst-4-ene-3β,7β,17β?triol (8), and androst-5-ene-3β,7α,17β-triol (9). All the transformed products were screened for enzyme inhibition, among which four were found to inhibit the β-glucuronidase enzyme, while none inhibited the α-chymotrypsin enzyme. 相似文献

Suspension of cultured cells of Marchantia polymorpha have the potential to hydrogenate the olefinic bonds present in androst-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (boldione, 1) to afford dihydroandrost-3,17-dione derivatives including: androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (androstenedione, 4-AD, 2), 5α-androstane-3,17-dione (androstenedione, AD, 4), and the less abundant metabolite 5α-androst-1-ene-3,17-dione (1-androstenedione, 1-AD, 3). After isolation and purification, these metabolites were characterized on the basis of spectroscopic analyses using 1D
and 2D NMR as well as mass spectrometry. Cytotoxicity of the biotransformation products against breast adenocarcinoma cells
(MCF-7) was assessed by a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay and cell death (apoptosis
or necrosis) was assayed by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining. Aromatase (cytochrome P450 19 enzyme, CYP19) inhibitory
activity was measured by a tritiated water release assay and by direct measurement of bio-transformed steroids using the tritium
labeled substrate 3H-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione. CYP19 mRNA expression in MCF-7 cells was analyzed by real-time PCR. Steroidal products 3 and 4 revealed a highly significant inhibition of MCF-7 cell growth that was predominantly due to apoptosis not necrosis. Steroidal
products 3 and 4 are both potent inhibitors of aromatase activity and CYP19 mRNA expression, while 2 is a known substrate for aromatase. These data establish that metabolites 3 and 4 are potent chemical agents against breast cancer via aromatase inhibitory mechanism. Results were interpreted via virtual
docking of the biotransformation products to the human placental aromatase active site. 相似文献

The strain of Acremonium strictum PTCC 5282 was applied to investigate the biotransformation of androst-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (I; ADD). Microbial products obtained were purified by preparative TLC and the pure metabolites were characterized on the basis of their spectroscopic features (13C NMR, 1H NMR, FTIR, MS) and physical constants (melting points and optical rotations). The 15α-Hydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (II), 17β-hydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3-one (III), androst-4-en-3,17-dione (IV; AD), 15α-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3,17-dione (V), 15α,17β-dihydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3-one (VI) and testosterone (VII) were produced during this fermentation. Formation of the 15α,17β-dihydroxy derivative of ADD is reported for the first time during steroid biotransformation. The bioconversion reactions observed were 1,2-hydrogenation, 15α-hydroxylation and 17-ketone reduction. From the time course profile of this biotransformation, ketone reduction and 1,2-hydrogenation were observed from the first day of fermentation while 15α-hydroxylation occurred from the third day. Optimum concentration of the substrate, which gave the maximum bioconversion efficiency, was 0.5 mg ml−1 in one batch. The highest yield of the microbial products recorded in this work was achieved within the pH range 6.5–7.3 and at the temperature of 27 °C. 相似文献

Regio- and stereospecificity of microbial hydroxylation was studied at the transformation of 3-keto-4-ene steroids of androstane and pregnane series by the filamentous fungus of Curvularia lunata VKM F-644. The products of the transformations were isolated by column chromatography and identified using HPLC, massspectrometry (MS) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) analyses. Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD) and its 1(2)-dehydro- and 9α-hydroxylated (9-OH-AD) derivatives were hydroxylated by the fungus mainly in position 14α, while 6α-, 6β- and 7α-hydroxylated products were revealed in minor amounts. At the transformation of C21-steroids (cortexolone and its acetylated derivatives) the presence of 17-acetyl group was shown to facilitate further selectivity of 11β-hydroxylation. Original procedures for protoplasts obtaining, mutagenesis and mutant strain selection have been developed. A stable mutant (M4) of C. lunata with high 11β-hydroxylase activity towards 21-acetate and 17α,21-diacetate of cortexolone was obtained. Yield of 11β-hydroxylated products reached about 90% at the transformation of 17α, 21-diacetate of cortexolone (1 g/l) using mutant strain M4. 相似文献

The following steroids and steroidal alkaloids have been incubated with the blight fungus Phytophthora infestans: androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, cholesterol, cholesteryl acetate, cholesteryl myristate, cholesteryl palmitate,cholesteryl stearate, dehydroisoandrosterone, 6α-hydroxy-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, 6β-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, pregnenolone, progesterone, sitosterol, sitosteryl acetate, solanidine, solanine, stigmasterol, stigmasteryl acetate and testosterone. No hydroxylation was observed, but the fungus is able to oxidize alcohol functions at C-3β, C-6α, C-11β and C-17β to carbonyl. In addition, hydrolysis of acetate to hydroxyl at C-3β, and of solanine to solanidine, was observed. The relationship between metabolism and the nature of substitution at C-17β is discussed. 相似文献

To investigate the potential interaction of the various pathways of androgen hydroxylation, we have conducted studies to identify the profile of products formed during the time course of metabolism of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD). Incubates containing AD, NADPH, and liver microsomes (from rats pretreated with phenobarbital) were sampled at times between 0 and 20 min and the metabolites resolved by reverse-phase (C18) high-performance liquid chromatography. By this method, the pattern of formation and of utilization of eight major primary and secondary metabolites of AD was determined. We report here the formation of two previously unidentified major metabolites of AD: 6 beta,16 alpha-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione and 6 beta,16 beta-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione. We propose that liver microsomal cytochromes P-450 can sequentially hydroxylate a single molecule of AD at multiple sites. These hydroxylase activities are presumably a result of multiple cytochrome P-450 isozymes acting on AD resulting in a transient time course for the appearance of some monohydroxylated metabolites. In addition, a unidirectional conversion of the metabolite 16 alpha-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione to 16 beta-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione is described. Evidence is provided to support the role of cytochrome P-450 in catalyzing this reaction. 相似文献

In this study, 6-methylenandrosta-4-ene-3,17-dione and Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) were used to form a complex, which could be then biotransformed by Arthrobacter simplex ATCC6946 to obtain the antitumor drug exemestane. The complex was analyzed by UV, DSC and TG techniques, while the products were analyzed by HPLC, NMR and MS. These results confirmed that the β-cyclodextrin not only improved the water-solubility of 6-methylenandrosta-4-ene-3,17-dione, but also greatly enhanced the biocompatibility during the biotransformation process. This result may be applied to other precursors which have poor aqueous solubility in the biotransformation processes. 相似文献

Thirteen steroidal saponins were isolated from the leaves of Beaucarnea recurvata Lem. Their structures were established using one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Six of them were identified as: 26-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl (25S)-furosta-5,20(22)-diene 1β,3β,26-triol 1-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2) β-d-fucopyranoside, 26-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl (25S)-furosta-5,20(22)-diene 1β,3β,26-triol 1-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-4-O-acetyl-β-d-fucopyranoside, 26-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl (25R)-furosta-5,20(22)-diene-23-one-1β,3β,26-triol 1-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2) β-d-fucopyranoside, 26-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl (25S)-furosta-5-ene-1β,3β,22α,26-tetrol 1-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-6-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, 26-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl (25S)-furosta-5-ene-1β,3β,22α,26-tetrol 1-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2) β-d-fucopyranoside, and 24-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl (25R)-spirost-5-ene-1β,3β,24-triol 1-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-4-O-acetyl-β-d-fucopyranoside. The chemotaxonomic classification of B. recurvata in the family Ruscaceae was discussed. 相似文献

Mycobacteria have been modified to transform sterols to produce valuable steroids. Here, we demonstrated that the oxidation of sterols to sterones is a rate-limiting step in the catabolic pathway of sterols in Mycobacterium neoaurum. Two cholesterol oxidases ChoM1 and ChoM2 involved in the step were identified in M. neoaurum and the ChoM2 shared up to 45% identity with other cholesterol oxidases. We demonstrated that the combination of ChoM1 and ChoM2 plays a significant role in this step. Accordingly, we developed a strategy to overcome this rate-limiting step by augmenting the activity of cholesterol oxidases in M. neoaurum strains to enhance their transformation productivity of sterols to valuable steroids. Our results indicated that the augmentation of ChoM2 achieved 5.57 g/l androst-1,4-diene-3,17-dione in M. neoaurum NwIB-01MS and 6.85 g/l androst-4-ene-3,17-dione in M. neoaurum NwIB-R10, greatly higher than the original yield, 3.87 g/l androst-1,4-diene-3,17-dione and 4.53 g/l androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, respectively. 相似文献

A total of eight metabolites were obtained which were characterized as androstane-3,17-dione (2), androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (3), androst-4-ene-17β-ol-3-one (4), androst-4,6-diene-17β-ol-3-one (5), androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol (6), androst-4-ene-3β-ol-6,17-dione (7), androst-4-ene-3β,7β,17β-triol (8), and androst-5-ene-3β,7α,17β-triol (9). All the transformed products were screened for enzyme inhibition, among which four were found to inhibit the β-glucuronidase enzyme, while none inhibited the α-chymotrypsin enzyme. 相似文献

A unicellular cyanobacterium, Synechococcus nidulans (Pringsheim) Komárek, was isolated from paddy-fields and applied in the biotransformation experiment of hydrocortisone (1). This strain has not been previously tested for steroid bioconversion. Fermentation was carried out in BG-11 medium supplemented with 0.05% substrate at 25°C for 14 days of incubation. The products obtained were chromatographically purified followed by their characterization using spectroscopic methods, 11β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (2), 11β-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3,17-dione (3), and androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (4) were the main bioproducts in the hydrocortisone bioconversion. The observed bioreaction characteristics were the side chain degradation of the substrate to prepare compounds (2) and (3) following the 11β-dehydroxylation for accumulation of the compound (4). Time course study showed the accumulation of the product (2) from the second day of the fermentation and compounds (3) and (4) from the third day. All the metabolites reached their maximum concentration in seven days. Cyanobacterial 16S rRNA gene was also amplified by PCR. Sequences were amplified using the universal prokaryotic primers which amplify a ~400-bp region of the 16S rRNA gene. PCR products were sequenced to confirm their authenticity as 16S rRNA gene of cyanobacteria. The result of PCR blasted with other sequenced cyanobacteria in NCBI showed 99% identity to the 16S small subunit rRNA of seven Synechococcus species. 相似文献

4-Androstene-3,17-dione (AD) and 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione (ADD) are the main precursors in the production of steroidal
drugs from phytosterols. To carry out the bioconversion, different inoculation strategies have been proposed. We compared
the use of whole fermented broth and of free resting cells of two mutant strains of Mycobacterium sp. (DSMZ2966 and DSMZ2967) in shake flasks. Also the effect of the nitrogen source (ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride
and ammonium nitrate) and the sterol to biomass ratio at high substrate concentrations (19.2 g/l and 48.1 g/l) was evaluated.
We found that the bioconversion with free resting cells (cell pellets) is more efficient than that with whole fermented broth,
increasing both AD and ADD production. The use of ammonium nitrate in the culture medium and low substrate to biomass ratios
(close to 1.0) increased the production yield. We also found that the bioconversion can be run at high substrate concentration
under non-sterile conditions. 相似文献

It has been shown that the cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum “Bright Yellow” are capable of transforming testosterone to Δ4-androstene-3, 17-dione, 5α-androstan-17β-ol-3-one, 5α-androstane-3β, 17β-diol, its dipalmitate and 3- and 17-monoglucosides, epiandrosterone, its palmitate and glucoside, testosterone glucoside. 5α-Androstane-3β, 17β-diol dipalmitate and 3- and 17-monoglucosides, epiandrosterone palmitate and glucoside, and testosterone glucoside have been found for the first time as metabolites of testosterone in plant systems. Δ4-Androstene-3,17-dione was converted to testosterone. 5α-Androstan-17β-ol-3-one, which has been recognized as an active form of testosterone in mammals, was also detected. It has also been demonstrated that [4-14C]testosterone is actively incorporated in these transformations. 相似文献

The biotransformation of lithocholic acid by Pseudomonas sp. strain NCIB 10590 under anaerobic conditions was studied. The major products were identified as androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione and 3-oxochol-4-ene-24-oic acid. The minor products included 17β-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3-one, 17β-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-diene-3-one, 3-oxo-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, 3-oxochola-1,4-diene-24-oic acid, 3-oxopregn-4-ene-20-carboxylic acid, and 3-oxopregna-1,4-diene-20-carboxylic acid. Anaerobiosis increases the number of metabolites produced by Pseudomonas sp. NCIB 10590 from lithocholic acid. 相似文献

The purpose of these studies was to determine whether oestrogen production is a quantitatively important pathway in the hepatic microsomal metabolism of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione. The effects of the enzyme inducing agents phenobarbitone and β-naphthoflavone on microsomal cytochrome P-450-mediated androst-4-ene-3,17-dione hydroxylation and aromatization was investigated in the rat in vitro. In microsomal fractions from untreated rats the ratio of hydroxylated products to aromatized (oestrogenic) metabolites was 33:1. Phenobarbitone pretreatment of rats increased total hydroxylation by about 20% but did not change the ratio of hydroxylated to aromatized products (27:1). In contrast, β-naphthoflavone induction decreased total hydroxylation to about 35% of control but did not affect total aromatization. Thus the ratio of hydroxylation to aromatization was significantly lower than in control microsomes (17:1).The principal aromatized products were oestriol and 2-hydroxyoestradiol-17β, with oestradiol-17β and its 4-hydroxy metabolite as minor products; no oestrone was observed. In further studies of the microsomal metabolism of oestrone, the major product was oestradiol-17β whereas hydroxylated metabolites were only minor products. Oestradiol-17β, in contrast, was hydroxylated to a considerable extent. These findings suggest that oestrone is a better substrate for the microsomal 17β-oxidoreductase than it is for cytochrome P-450. It therefore appears likely that any oestrone formed from the aromatization of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione would be readily converted to oestradiol-17β which, in turn, is subject to cytochrome P-450-mediated hydroxylation. Although the liver is a site of C19-steroid aromatization, it appears unlikely that this organ could contribute significantly to serum oestrogen levels since microsomal hydroxylases are readily able to convert aromatized products to biologically inactive metabolites. 相似文献

Soybean sterols were converted into androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD) and 9α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (9-OH-AD) using three actinobacterium strains. The transformation of a microcrystallic substrate (particle size 5–15 μm) or the transformation
in the presence of randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin (MCD) were carried out by Mycobacterium neoaurum with a phytosterol load of 30 g/l over 144 h with an AD content of 14.5 and 15.2 g/l, respectively. AD obtained in the presence
of MCD was transformed into ADD (13.5 g/l) by Pimelobacter simplex cells over 3 h and into 9-OH-AD by Rhodococcus erythropolis cells after 22 h without the isolation of AD from the cultural liquid. The crude product ADD was obtained in 75% yield, based
on phytosterol. It contained as by-products 1.25% of AD and 1.5% of 1,2-dehydrotestosterone. In a control experiment—the process
of 1,2-dehydrogenation of 20 g/l AD in the water solution of MCD—no by-products were isolated. Thus, it is more expedient
to introduce the 1,2-double bond into pure AD, whereas R. erythropolis strain with low destructive activity towards steroid nucleus can be used in the mixed culture with M. neoaurum. The crystal product contained, according to HPLC, 80% of 9-OH-AD, and 1.5% AD was obtained. The yield of 9-OH-AD (m.p. 218–220°C)
based on transformed phytosterol was 56%. 相似文献
