Microbial transformation of lapachol, a naturally occurring naphthoquinone, was carried out by Curvularia lunata (NRRL 2178). The fungus brings about oxidative cyclization of the substrate to dehydro-alpha-lapachone, which was isolated and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectral analyses; its structure was verified by chemical synthesis. The metabolite is a naturally occurring chromene possessing antibacterial and antitumor activities.
弯孢霉(NRRL 2178)对天然存在的萘醌拉帕醇进行了微生物转化。该真菌使底物发生氧化环化反应生成脱氢-α-拉帕醌,后者经分离并通过核磁共振和质谱分析进行了表征;其结构通过化学合成得以验证。该代谢产物是一种天然存在的具有抗菌和抗肿瘤活性的色烯。
