Abstract
The microbiological oxidation of the diterpene solidagenone by Curvularia lunata afforded 3α-hydroxysolidagenone and 3-oxosolidagenone as well as the fungal compounds radicinol and isoradicinol. Fermentation of solidagenone with Aspergillus niger afforded 3β-hydroxy- and 19-hydroxysolidagenone while with Alternaria alternata yielded 3-oxosolidagenone. The structure of 3-oxosolidagenone is presented for the first time.
