Biotransformation of fluorene by the fungus Cunninghamella elegans.
The metabolism of fluorene, a tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, by Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 36112 was investigated. Approximately 69% of the [9-14C]fluorene added to cultures was metabolized within 120 h. The major ethyl acetate-soluble metabolites were 9-fluorenone (62%), 9-fluorenol, and 2-hydroxy-9-fluorenone (together, 7.0%). Similarly to bacteria, C. elegans oxidized fluorene at the C-9 p...
متن کاملBiotransformation of mirtazapine by Cunninghamella elegans.
The fungus Cunninghamella elegans was used as a microbial model of mammalian metabolism to biotransform the tetracyclic antidepressant drug mirtazapine, which is manufactured as a racemic mixture of R(-)- and S(+)-enantiomers. In 168 h, C. elegans transformed 91% of the drug into the following seven metabolites: 8-hydroxymirtazapine, N-desmethyl-8-hydroxymirtazapine, N-desmethylmirtazapine, 13-...
متن کاملBiotransformation of doxepin by Cunninghamella elegans.
A filamentous fungus, Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 9245, was used as a microbial model of mammalian metabolism to biotransform doxepin, a tricyclic antidepressant drug. Doxepin is produced as an 85:15% mixture of the trans- (E) and cis- (Z) forms. After 96 h of incubation in Sabouraud dextrose broth, 28% of the drug was metabolized to 16 metabolites. No change in the trans- (E) and cis- (Z) rati...
متن کاملBiotransformation of chlorpromazine and methdilazine by Cunninghamella elegans.
When tested as a microbial model for mammalian drug metabolism, the filamentous fungus Cunninghamella elegans metabolized chlorpromazine and methdilazine within 72 h. The metabolites were extracted by chloroform, separated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance, mass, and UV spectroscopic analyses. The major metabolites of chlorpromazin...
متن کاملMetabolism of benz[a]anthracene by the filamentous fungus Cunninghamella elegans.
The metabolism of the carcinogen benz[a]anthracene (BA), a tetracyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, by Cunninghamella elegans was investigated. C. elegans grown on Sabouraud dextrose broth transformed [14C]BA to labeled BA trans-8,9-dihydrodiol (90%), BA trans-10,11-dihydrodiol (6%), and BA trans-3,4-dihydrodiol (4%), but not to BA trans-5,6-dihydrodiol. These metabolites were separated by thin-layer ...
