The biotransformation of the monoterpene hydrocarbons 3-carene and 2-pinene by cell suspension cultures of Nicotiana tabacum and Catharanthus roseus was investigated.The cultures have the ability to regio- and enantioselectively introduce the oxygenated functional groups into the C=C double bond and the allylic positions of the substrates. - Key words: Nicotiana tabacum; Solanaceae; Catharanthus roseus; Apocyanaceae; cultured cells; biotransformation; epoxidation; hydroxylation; carene; pinene.

The biotransformation of the enantiomeric pairs of p-menthane and bicyclo and heptane derivatives with the cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum was investigated.It was found that (i) the cultured cells discriminate the enantiomers of p-menthan-2-ol and bicycloheptan-2-ol and bicycloheptan-3-ol derivatives, and enantioselectively convert these alcohols to the corresponding ketones, (ii) the cells reduce the carbonyl group of p-methan-2-one derivatives to a high extent, but not that of p-menthan-3-ones, and (iii) the cells discriminate the enantiomers of bicyclohept-2-en-4-one (verbenone) and enantioselectively reduce the C-C double bond of the (1S,5S)-enantiomer.
