Abstract
Microbial transformation of betulonic acid with Circinella muscae CGMCC 3.2695 yielded nine undescribed metabolites and eight known compounds. The structures of the metabolites were established based on extensive NMR and HR-ESI-MS data analyses. It is shown that C. muscae could catalyze the regioselective hydroxylation at C-2, C-7, C-15, C-16, C-21, and C-30 along with carbonylation at C-2 and C-21. Furthermore, potential anti-neuroinflammatory activities of the obtained compounds in NO production were tested in lipopolysaccharides-induced BV-2 cells. Some of the metabolites exhibited pronounced inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 4.27–16.68 μM.
