Transformation of amoxapine by Cunninghamella elegans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Metabolism of benz[a]anthracene by the filamentous fungus Cunninghamella elegans.
The metabolism of the carcinogen benz[a]anthracene (BA), a tetracyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, by Cunninghamella elegans was investigated. C. elegans grown on Sabouraud dextrose broth transformed [14C]BA to labeled BA trans-8,9-dihydrodiol (90%), BA trans-10,11-dihydrodiol (6%), and BA trans-3,4-dihydrodiol (4%), but not to BA trans-5,6-dihydrodiol. These metabolites were separated by thin-layer ...
متن کاملMicrobial Transformation of (-)-Alloisolongifolene
(-)-Alloisolongifolene (1) is a structural analogue of the naturally occurring longifolene. The microbial transformation of (-)-alloisolongifolene (1) by Cunninghamella elegans afforded two new metabolites, 3a-hydroxyalloisolongifolol (2) and 13-hydroxyalloisolongifolol (3). The structures of the metabolites were deduced on the basis of their spectral data, including 1D and 2D NMR, IR and HREIMS.

متن کاملRegiospecific synthesis of isoapocodeine from 10,11-dimethoxyaporphine by using Cunninghamella elegans.
A preparative-scale regiospecific conversion of 10,11-dimethoxyaporphine to isoapocodeine was conducted with Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 9245. This biotransformation proceeded quantitatively in suspensions and was pH dependent. The influence of antioxidants on the conversion was studied. Attempts to preserve the activity of isolated C. elegans cells by a number of methods were unsuccessful.
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Three Unrecorded Zygomycete Fungi in Korea: Cunninghamella bertholletiae, Cunninghamella echinulata, and Cunninghamella elegans
In a survey of undiscovered taxa in Korea, three zygomycete fungal strains-EML-W31, EML-HGD1-1, and EML-RUS1-1-were isolated from freshwater, grasshopper fecal, and soil samples in Korea. On the basis of the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacer and 28S rDNA, the isolates of EML-W31, EML-HGD1-1, and EML-RUS1-1 were confirmed to be Cunninghamella ...
