Diterpenes microbial hydroxylation

Aranda, G., M.S. Kortbi, J. Y. Lallemand et af, 1991. Microbial transformation of diterpenes Hydroxylation of sclareol, manool and derivatives by Mucorplumbeus. 47 8339-8350. [Pg.1004]

A significant example of hydroxylation reactions of cyclic terpenic compounds is illustrated by the microbial metabolism of sclareol. Sclareol 14, a labdane diterpene, can be easily isolated from the essential oil of Salvia sclarea L. (Labiatae) (clary sage oil) or... [Pg.154]

Other related diterpenes of some interest, the hydroxylation of which by microbial methods has recently been described, are isocupressic acid [69], dehydroabietic acid derivatives [70,71], grindelane derivatives [72-75], kolavenol acetate [76], norambreinolide... [Pg.162]
