Glucose-conjugation of the flavones of Psiadia arabica by Cunninghamella elegans

Phytochemistry. 1997 Dec;46(7):1193-5.

Abstract

Microbial transformation of psiadiarabin and its 6-desmethoxy analogue 5,3' dihydroxy-7,2',4'5'-tetramethoxyflavone by Cunninghamella elegans NRRL 1392 gave the 3'-glucoside conjugates of the two flavones. Structural elucidation of these two new metabolites was achieved using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and CIMS.
