The oxidation of morphine by whole-cell suspensions and cell extracts of Cylindrocarpon didymum gave rise to the formation of 2, 2'-bimorphine. The identity of 2,2'-bimorphine was confirmed by mass spectrometry and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. C. didymum also displayed activity with the morphine analogs hydromorphone, 6-acetylmorphine, and dihydromorphine, but not codeine or diamorphine, suggesting that a phenolic group at C-3 is essential for activity.
双隔孢柱孢菌的全细胞悬浮液和细胞提取物对吗啡的氧化作用导致了2,2'-双吗啡的形成。通过质谱和1H核磁共振光谱证实了2,2'-双吗啡的结构。双隔孢柱孢菌对吗啡类似物氢吗啡酮、6-乙酰吗啡和二氢吗啡也有氧化活性,但对可待因或二乙酰吗啡没有作用,这表明C-3位的酚羟基对于该氧化活性至关重要。
