A gene for cytochrome P450 (moxA) from Nonomuraea recticatena, coexpressed with camAB for pseudomonad redox partners in Escherichia coli, hydroxylated oleanolic acid to produce queretaroic acid. When we used the P450-induced whole-cell as a catalyst, only a small amount of queretaroic acid was produced, probably due to poor permeability of oleanolic acid into the E. coli cell. In an alternative approach with the cell-free reaction system, the conversion ratio increased up to 17%.

Microbial transformation of oleanolic acid by Rhizomucor miehei produced three metabolites. A known compound, a 30-hydroxyl derivative (queretaroic acid), and two 7β,30- and 1β,30-dihydroxylated metabolites, respectively. The action of the same fungus (R. miehei) on maslinic acid produced an olean-11-en-28,13β-olide derivative, a metabolite hydroxylated at C-30, an 11-oxo derivative, and two metabolites with an 11α,12β- epoxy group, hydroxylated or not at C-30. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analyses of their spectroscopic data, and also by chemical correlations.

The reinvestigation of saponin composition from Medicago arabica from Italy allowed the detection of nineteen (1-19) saponins. All of them were purified by reverse-phase chromatography and their structures elucidated by spectroscopic and spectrometric (1D and 2D NMR; ESI-MS/MS) and chemical methods. Fourteen were known saponins, previously found in other plants including other Medicago species. They have been identified as glycosides of oleanolic acid, 2β,3β-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, hederagenin, bayogenin and soyasapogenol B. Five saponins, identified as 3-O-[-α-L- arabinopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-30-O-β-D- glucopyranosyl 2β,3β,30-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (1), 3-O-[α-L-arabinopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl] -30-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl]3β,30-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (2), 3-O-|β-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-30-O-[α-L-arabinopyranosyl(1→2) -β-D-glucopyranosyl] 2β,3β,30-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (3), 3-O-[β-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-30-O-[α-L- arabinopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl] 3β,30-dihydroxyolean- 12-en-28-oic acid (4) and 3-O-[β-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-30-O-[β-D- glucopyranosyl] 2β,3β,30-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (5), are reported here as new natural compounds. These new saponins, possessing a hydroxy group at the 30-methyl position of the triterpenic skeleton, have never been previously found in the genus Medicago.
