Fermentation of 17-hydroxyprogesterone with a Bacillus species (IICB-301) in a modified nutrient medium under aerobic conditions yielded androst-4-ene-3,17-dione and 15 alpha,17-dihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione in addition to a new pregnane analogue, 6 beta,17,20 alpha-trihydroxypregn-4-ene-3-one. Each microbial metabolite was characterized by the application of various spectroscopic techniques. The availability of the new metabolite, 6 beta,17,20 alpha-trihydroxypregn-4-ene-3-one, enabled complete elucidation of its 13C-n.m.r. spectrum.
在有氧条件下,在改良的营养培养基中用一种芽孢杆菌属(IICB - 301)发酵17 - 羟基孕酮,除了产生一种新的孕烷类似物6β,17,20α - 三羟基孕 - 4 - 烯 - 3 - 酮外,还产生了雄甾 - 4 - 烯 - 3,17 - 二酮和15α,17 - 二羟基孕 - 4 - 烯 - 3,20 - 二酮。通过应用各种光谱技术对每种微生物代谢产物进行了表征。新代谢产物6β,17,20α - 三羟基孕 - 4 - 烯 - 3 - 酮的可得性使得能够完全解析其13C - 核磁共振谱。
