Abstract

Microbial transformation of 11-ketoprogesterone (1) by the filamentous fungi Fusarium lini was investigated. Biotransformation of 1 with F. lini resulted in the production of ten oxidative metabolites (2-11). Structures of these metabolites were deduced by spectroscopic analysis and seven of them, 5-11, were found to be new metabolites.

Keywords: 11-Ketoprogesterone; Steroid; Microbial transformation; Hydroxylation; Filamentous fungi; Fusarium lini.
