Abstract
The biotransformation of sesquiterpenoids having an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group, such as α-santonin (1), lancerodiol p-hydroxybenzoate (2), 8,9-dehydronootkatone (3), and nootkatone (4), with cultured suspension cells of Marchantia polymorpha was investigated. It was found that the CC double bond of 1 and 2 was hydrogenated to give 1,2-dihydro-α-santonin (5) and 3,4-dihydrolancerodiol p-hydroxybenzoate (6), respectively, while the allylic position of the CC double bond of 3 and 4 was hydroxylated to give 13-hydroxy-8,9-dehydronootkatone (7) and 9-hydroxynootkatone (8), respectively.
