Abstract: (?)3a,6,6,9a-tetramethylperhydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan (ambrox) is a strong aromatic compound used widely in a variety of perfumery applications and is highly prized for its musky odor. We report novel polar metabolites of (?)3a,6,6,9a-tetramethylperhydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan prepared by a novel process of microbial fermentation using a fungi, Fusarium lini, of unique structures that would be difficult to predict opening up the possibilities of their chemical synthesis. The polar metabolites discovered have stronger aromatic characteristics and offer a new highly prized odiferous characteristic quite different from that of the parent compound and thus can be used in the preparation of perfumes, odor-masking and other odor-management applications.

Abstract: Sixteen new and one known metabolites were obtained by incubation of tibolone and hydroxytibolones with various fungi. Their structures were elucidated by means of a homo and heteronuclear 2D NMR and by HREI-MS techniques. The relative stereochemistry was deduced by 2D NOESY experiment. These metabolites have shown promising inhibitory activities against ?-glucosidase enzyme. Seven metabolites exhibited potent inhibitory activity against the ?-glucosidase enzyme and were thus found useful in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and other diseases related to the activity of ?-glucosidase enzyme.

Their structures were elucidated by means of a homo and heteronuclear 2D NMR and by HREI-MS techniques. The relative stereochemistry was deduced by 2D NOESY experiment. These metabolites of tibolone were strong inhibitors of tyrosine enzyme and thus useful in producing skin lightning and preserving fruits and vegetables.

Abstract: Three new acylphloroglucinols, myrtucommulone-D (Compound 1), myrtucommulone-E (Compound 2), myrtucommulone-C (Compound 3), and a known acyphloroglucinol myrtucommulone B (Compound 4) were isolated from a methanolic extract of Myrtus communis L. The structures of compounds 1, 2 and 4 were also unambiguously determined by single X-ray diffraction analysis. The compounds 1-4 were found to be more potent ?-glucosidase inhibitors than the clinically used standards, acarbose and deoxynojirimycin. The compound 3 exhibited the highest activity among all the acylphloroglucinols, with an IC50=35.4±1.15 ?M. The compounds 1 and 2 also exhibited strong antibacterial activities.
