Abstract
To explore the potential metabolites from rabeprazole sulfide, seven strains of filamentous fungi were screened for their biotransformation abilities. Among these strains, Cunninghamella blakesleeana 3.970 exhibited the best result. Four different culture media were screened in order to identify the most optimal for subsequent research. Single factors such as the initial pH of culture media, culture time, inoculation volume, and media volume were individually investigated to provide the optimum biotransformation conditions. Then, an orthogonal optimization process using a five-factor, four-level L16(45) experiment was designed and performed. Finally, when the substrate concentration is 3 g/L, one major metabolite was detected with a transformation rate of 72.4%. Isolated by semipreparative HPLC, this metabolite was further detected by ESI-MS and NMR. The final data analysis indicated that the metabolite is O-demethylation rabeprazole sulfide.

Abstract
The fungal metabolism of diazinon was investigated and the microbial model (Cunninghamella elegans ATCC36112) could effectively degrade the organophosphorus pesticide (diazinon) mediated by cytochrome P450, which was mainly involved in oxidation and hydrolysis of phase I metabolism. Approximately 89% of diazinon was removed within 7 days and was not observed after 13 days with concomitant accumulation of eight metabolites. Structures of the metabolites were fully or tentatively identified with GC-MS and 1H, 13C NMR. The major metabolites of diazinon were diethyl (2-isopropyl-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl) phosphate (diazoxon) and 2-isopropyl-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinol (pyrimidinol), and formation of minor metabolites was primarily the result of hydroxylation. To determine the responsible enzymes in diazinon metabolism, piperonyl butoxide and methimazole were treated, and the kinetic responses of diazinon and its metabolites by Cunninghamella elegans were measured. Results indirectly demonstrated that cytochrome P450 and flavin monooxygenase were involved in the metabolism of diazinon, but methimazole inhibited the metabolism less effectively. Based on the metabolic profiling, a possible metabolic pathway involved in phase I metabolism of diazinon was proposed, which would contribute to providing insight into understanding the toxicological effects of diazinon and the potential application of fungi on organophosphorus pesticides.

Abstract
Biotransformation of fusidic acid (1) was accomplished using a battery of microorganisms including Cunninghamella echinulata NRRL 1382, which converted fusidic acid (1) into three new metabolites 2⁻4 and the known metabolite 5. These metabolites were identified using 1D and 2D NMR and HRESI-FTMS data. Structural assignment of the compounds was supported via computation of ¹H- and 13C-NMR chemical shifts. Compounds 2 and 3 were assigned as the 27-hydroxy and 26-hydroxy derivatives of fusidic acid, respectively. Subsequent oxidation of 3 afforded aldehyde 4 and the dicarboxylic acid 5. Compounds 2, 4 and 5 were screened for antimicrobial activity against different Gram positive and negative bacteria, Mycobacterium smegmatis, M. intercellulare and Candida albicans. The compounds showed lower activity compared to fusidic acid against the tested strains. Molecular docking studies were carried out to assist the structural assignments and predict the binding modes of the metabolites.

Abstract
AIMS Betulinic acid has attracted attention in terms of its important biological and pharmacological characteristics. The main objective of this work was to optimize the variables of biotransformation process in order to enhance betulinic acid production from betulin catalysed by fungus Armillaria luteo-virens Sacc ZJUQH100-6. METHODS AND RESULTS Fractional factorial design and response surface methodology were applied to optimize the main parameters that affect betulinic acid production in the growing-cells system. Results indicated that the addition of Tween 80 and substrate concentration were identified as the significant factors on betulinic acid formation, and the central composite experimental design was then adopted to derive a statistical model for optimizing biotransformation conditions. The optimum conditions were observed at pH 6·0, 0·57% Tween 80, 15 mg l(-1) betulin and at 3 days of stage of inoculation. CONCLUSIONS Under the optimized conditions, the highest productivity of betulinic acid predicted was 9·32%, which increased by 74·53% in comparison with that of the nonoptimized. The verified experiment revealed that the model can well simulate betulin biotransformation. Moreover, the bioconversion of betulin and betulin-28-monooxygenase activities was compared between the optimized and the nonoptimized conditions. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Current data imply that betulinic acid production from betulin can be effectively enhanced through biotransformation optimization strategy.

Abstract
Phytochemical evaluation of Zanthoxylum monophyllum has led to the isolation of the alkaloid 4-methoxy- N-methyl-2-quinolone (1) with a significant activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), with an IC50value of 1.5 (μg /mL. Xenobiotic biotransformation of 1 has been conducted with the general goal of increasing the bioactivity of the compound and contributing new leads for further pharmacological research. Twenty-nine microorganisms were used for screening and two ( Aspergillus flavus and Cunninghamella echinulata var.echinulata) were able to transform compound 1 to 4-methoxy-2-quinolone (2). Structural identification of the compounds was based on NMR, IR, and MS data.

Abstract
We developed a technique based on nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis and laser-based thermo-optical absorbance detection to assay five antidepressants with similar structures and mass-to-charge ratios. A mixture of methanol and acetonitrile with ammonium acetate was essential to achieve baseline resolution of these compounds. We investigated the effects of ammonium acetate concentration, temperature, applied voltage, and capillary length on separation efficiency. The nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis and laser-based thermo-optical absorbance detection technique was used to study the metabolism of amitriptyline by Cunninghamella elegans. Sample preparation procedures were simplified for fast screening of the parent drug and its metabolites. Reproducible electropherograms were obtained from replicate cultures of C. elegans growing in the presence of amitriptyline.

Abstract
1. Metabolites formed during incubation of the antihistamine cyproheptadine hydrochloride with the zygomycete fungus Cunninghamella elegans in liquid culture were determined. The metabolites were isolated by hple and identified by mass spectrometric and proton nmr spectroscopic analysis. Two C elegans strains, ATCC 9245 and ATCC 36112, were screened and both produced essentially identical metabolites. 2. Within 72 h cyproheptadine was extensively biotransformed to at least eight oxidative phase-I metabolites primarily via aromatic hydroxylation metabolic pathways. Cyproheptadine was biotransformed predominantly to 2-hydroxycyproheptadine. Other metabolites identified were 1- and 3-hydroxycyproheptadine, cyproheptadine 10,11-epoxide, N-desmethylcyproheptadine, N-desmethyl-2-hydroxycyproheptadine, cyproheptadine N-oxide, and 2-hydroxycyproheptadine N-oxide. Although a minor fungal metabolite, cyproheptadine 10,11-epoxide represents the first stable epoxide isolated from the microbial biotransformation of drugs. 3. The enzymatic mechanism for the formation of the major fungal metabolite, 2-hydroxycyproheptadine, was investigated. The oxygen atom was derived from molecular oxygen as determined from 18O-labelling experiments. The formation of 2-hydroxycyproheptadine was inhibited 35, 70 and 97% by cytochrome P450 inhibitors metyrapone, proadifen and 1-aminobenzotriazole respectively. Cytochrome P450 was detected in the microsomal fractions of C. elegans. In addition, 2-hydroxylase activity was found in cell-free extracts of C. elegans. This activity was inhibited by proadifen and CO, and was inducible by naphthalene. These results are consistent with the fungal epoxidation and hydroxylation reactions being catalysed by cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. 4. The effects of types of media on the biotransformation of cyproheptadine were investigated. It appears that the glucose level significantly affects the biotransformation rates of cyproheptadine; however it did not change the relative ratios between metabolites produced.

Abstract
When tested as a microbial model for mammalian drug metabolism, the filamentous fungus Cunninghamella elegans metabolized chlorpromazine and methdilazine within 72 h. The metabolites were extracted by chloroform, separated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance, mass, and UV spectroscopic analyses. The major metabolites of chlorpromazine were chlorpromazine sulfoxide (36%), N-desmethylchlorpromazine (11%), N-desmethyl-7-hydroxychlorpromazine (6%), 7-hydroxychlorpromazine sulfoxide (36%), N-hydroxychlorpromazine (11%), 7-hydroxychlorpromazine sulfoxide (5%), and chlorpromazine N-oxide (2%), all of which have been found in animal studies. The major metabolites of methdilazine were 3-hydroxymethdilazine (3%). (18)O(2) labeling experiments indicated that the oxygen atoms in methdilazine sulfoxide, methdilazine N-oxide, and 3-hydroxymethdilazine were all derived from molecular oxygen. The production of methdilazine sulfoxide and 3-hydroxymethdilazine was inhibited by the cytochrome P-450 inhibitors metyrapone and proadifen. An enzyme activity for the sulfoxidation of methdilazine was found in microsomal preparations of C. elegans. These experiments suggest that the sulfoxidation and hydroxylation of methdilazine and chlorpromazine by C. elegans are catalyzed by cytochrome P-450.

Abstract
1. Two strains of the filamentous fungus Cunninghamella elegans (ATCC 9245 and ATCC 36112) were screened for their ability to metabolize three alkylamine-type antihistamines; brompheniramine, chlorpheniramine and pheniramine. 2. Based on the amount of parent drug recovered after 168 h of incubation, C. elegans ATCC 9245 metabolized 60, 45 and 29% of brompheniramine, chlorpheniramine and pheniramine added respectively. The results from strain ATCC 36112 were essentially identical to those of strain ATCC 9245. 3. The metabolic products of N-oxidation and N-demethylation were isolated by reversed-phase hplc and identified by analysing their mass and proton nmr spectra. For all three antihistamines, the mono-N-demethylated metabolite was produced in the greatest amounts. The chloro- and bromo-substituents appeared not to affect the route of metabolism but did influence the relative amounts of metabolites produced. 4. Circular dichroism spectra of the metabolites and the unmetabolized parent antihistamines showed each to be a racemic mixture of the (+) and (-) optical isomers. In addition, comparison of the metabolism of racemic chlorpheniramine to that of optically pure (+) chlorpheniramine showed no significant differences in the ratios of metabolites produced. There was therefore no metabolic stereoselectivity observed by the fungal enzymes.
