Microbial metabolism. Part 8. The pyranocoumarin, decursin

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2007 Oct;55(10):1512-3. doi: 10.1248/cpb.55.1512.

Abstract

Microbial transformation of the cancer chemopreventive agent, decursin (1) with Sepedonium chrysospermem (ATCC 13378) yielded two metabolites, (+)-decursinol (2) and (-)-cis-decursidinol (3). The structures were established by spectroscopic data.
