Abstract: | 2H]Steviol (ent-13-hydroxykaur-16-en-19-oic acid) was synthesized from steviol acetate norketone (ent-13-acetoxy-16-oxo-17-norkauran-19-oic acid) by the Wittig reaction using (methyl-d3)triphenylphosphonium bromide. A mixture of steviol analogs was produced containing from one to four 2H/molecule. 2H]Steviol was fed to strain LM-45-399 of the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi which was grown on synthetic medium (ICI, 0% N) in the presence of the growth retardant CCC. 2H]GA1, 2H]GA18, 2H]GA23 and 2H]GA53 were isolated from the fungal medium after 4 days. This strain converted steviol to 13-hydroxy GAs in the highest yields of the four Gibberella strains tested, and in amounts suitable for metabolic studies with higher plants. |
