Biotransformation of podophyllotoxin to picropodophyllin by microbes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biotransformation of podophyllotoxin (PT) by several microbial species has been investigated. Among the fungi tested, it was found that Penicillium strains can isomerize PT to picropodophyllin (PPT) in 8% yield and other strains also transform the substrate into the same product but with lower yield.

Novel biotransformation process of podophyllotoxin to produce podophyllic acid and picropodophyllotoxin by Pseudomonas aeruginosa CCTCC AB93066. Part I: process development.
A novel biotransformation process of podophyllotoxin (1) to produce picropodophyllotoxin (2) and podophyllic acid (3) was developed in this work. Eight bacteria which could modify the structure of podophyllotoxin were screened out from the tested fourteen bacteria. The highest conversion of podophyllotoxin (i.e., 70.2 +/- 8.0%) was obtained when Pseudomonas aeruginosa CCTCC AB93066 was used as ...
متن کاملMicrotubules and axoplasmic transport. Inhibition of transport by podophyllotoxin: an interaction with microtubule protein
Pharmacological evidence is presented for the involvement of microtubules in the process of fast axoplasmic transport. A quantitative measure of the inhibition of axoplasmic transport in an in vitro preparation of rat sciatic nerve is described. The alkaloids colchicine, podophyllotoxin, and vinblastine, which are known both to disrupt microtubules and to bind to the protein subunit of microtub...
