Microbial transformation of asiatic acid by Alternaria longipes

Asiatic acid is a major pentacyclic triterpene isolated from Centella asiatica. It shows a variety of bioactivities. In order to obtain its derivatives, potentially useful for detailed pharmacological studies, the substrate was subjected to incubations with selected micro-organisms. In this work, asiatic acid was converted into three new compounds: 2α,3β,23,30-tetrahydroxyurs-12-ene-28-oic acid (1), 2α,3β,22β,23-tetrahydroxyurs-12-ene-28-oic acid (2), and 2α,3β,22β,23,30-pentahydroxyurs-12-ene-28-oic acid (3) by the fungus Alternaria longipes AS 3.2875. The structures of the three metabolites were determined by 1D and 2D NMR spectral data.

Unusual microbial lactonization and hydroxylation of asiatic acid by Umbelopsis isabellina

Asiatic acid (1) is a natural triterpenoid isolated from Centella asiatica. This paper reports the microbial transformation of asiatic acid by an endophytic fungus Umbelopsis isabellina to obtain derivatives potentially useful for further studies. Incubation of asiatic acid with U. isabellina afforded two derivatives 2α,3β,7β, 23-tetrahydroxyurs-12-ene-28-oic acid (2) and 2α,3β,7β,23-tetrahydroxyurs-11-ene-28,13-lactone (3). The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectral data. Compound 3 has formed an unusual lactone. These two products are new compounds. The possible transformation passway was also discussed.
