Abstract: | A new stemodinoside, stemodin-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside (5), was isolated from the plant Stemodia maritima. Incubation of stemodin (2) with Rhizopus oryzae ATCC 11145 gave 2 alpha,7 beta,13(S)-trihydroxystemodane (17) and 2 alpha,3 beta,13(S),16 alpha-tetrahydroxystemodane (18) whilst stemodinone (8) afforded 6 alpha,13(S)-dihydroxystemodan-2-one (19). The bioconversion of 2 beta,13(S)-dihydroxystemodane (10) by the fungus yielded 2 beta,7 beta,13(S)-trihydroxystemodane (20) whereas stemod-12-en-2-one (9) provided 7 beta,17-dihydroxystemod-12-en-2-one (21). The results provide useful information about the relationship between the functional groups of the substrates and their potential for bioconversion. |
