Abstract

The biotransformation of osthole (1) by Alternaria longipes was carried out, and five transformed products were obtained in the present research work. Based on their extensive spectral data, the structures of these metabolites were characterized as 4'-hydroxyl-osthole (2), 4'-hydroxyl-2',3'-dihydroosthole (3), 2',3'-dihydroxylosthole (4), osthole-4'-oic acid methyl ester (5), and osthole-4'-oic acid glucuron-1-yl ester (6), respectively. Among them, products 5 and 6 were new compounds.
