Rare and synthetically challenging 12 beta- and 17 beta-hydroxylation was achieved on the basic limonoid skeleton to produce a novel series of hydroxylated limonoids using fungi-mediated biocatalysis. The fungal system belonging to the genera of Mucor efficiently converted azadiradione, epoxyazadiradione, gedunin and their derivatives into corresponding 12 beta- and/or 17 beta-hydroxy derivatives. The position and stereochemistry of hydroxylation was determined by rigorous spectroscopic and crystallographic studies. This fungi-mediated stereo- and regio-selective hydroxylation process was highly efficient and mild enough to sustain chemically sensitive functional groups around the basic limonoid skeleton. Modifications of specific functional groups and variation in biocatalyst were shown to bring selectivity among 12 beta- or 17 beta-hydroxylation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.852

The fungal system efficiently and quantitatively converted these steroids in regio- and stereo-selective manner into corresponding 6 beta,11 alpha-dihydroxy compounds. Time course experiments suggested that the transformation was initiated by hydroxylation at 6 beta- or 11 alpha-(10 beta-hydroxy in case of V) to form monohydroxy derivatives which upon prolonged incubation were converted into corresponding 613,11oc-dihydroxy derivatives. The fermentation studies carried out using 5 L table-top fermentor with substrates (I and II) clearly indicates that 6 beta,11 alpha-dihydroxy derivatives of steroids with 4-ene-3-one functionality can be produced in large scale by using M881.
