Abstract
Highly biologically active marine sesquiterpene ilimaquinone was selected for chemical modifications. Its biotransformation was investigated using a combinatorial approach as an original way to screen different strains of microorganisms. Mucor circinelloides ATCC 8541 was able to structurally modify ilimaquinone into three different compounds. A stereospecific epoxidation was observed and compared to chemical epoxidation. A hydroxylation of the decalin ring was also observed as well as an unexpected substitution on the quinone ring by ethanolamine. Compounds were evaluated against several cell lines.
