- BIOTRANSFORMATION OF GERMACRONE BY SUSPENSION CULTURED CELLS
-
The transformation of germacrone, a 10-membered ring sesquiterpene, by suspension cultured cells of Lonicera japonica, Bupleurum falcatum, Polygonum tinctorium and Solidago altissima, was investigated.Germacrone was converted into several types of sesquiterpenes, such as guaiane, eudesman and seco-guaiane and their structures were determined from spectral and chemical evidence.The configurations of some of the products were determined by CD spectroscopy.The differences of the kinds of products among the four suspension cultured cells is discussed.
