Abstract

The possibility of using solid supports and intermittent substrate feeding to manipulate biotransformation by fungi was examined, with amoxapine as a model compound. Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 8688a grown as free cells in six-well plates showed 7-hydroxyamoxapine as the major metabolite of amoxapine biotransformation. However, when cells were grown in the presence of activated carbon, N-formyl-7-hydroxyamoxapine was formed as the major metabolite. Intermittent feeding of amoxapine also favored the formation of N-formyl-7-hydroxyamoxapine.
