Abstract

The biosynthesis of 7-hydroxycalamenene using suspension cultured cells of the liverwort, Heteroscyphus planus, is described. The biotransformation of cubenene, but not calamenene, to 7-hydroxycalamenene suggests that it is formed via hydroxylation of the methylene carbon between its unconjugated double bonds. Thus followed by oxidation, thereby explaining the formation of 7-hydroxycalamenene without invoking an NIH shift.
