Using a standard two-stage fermentation technique, the fungus Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 7159) was found to convert the eudesmanolide vulgarin (1) to 1α,4α-dihydroxy-5αH,6,11βH-eudesman-6,12-olide (2). The use of the yeastHansenula anomala ATCC 20170 instead, produced the less polar 4α-hydroxy-1-oxo-5αH,6,11βH-eudesman-6,12-olide(3), in addition to the more polar 3α,4α-dihydroxy-1-oxo-5αH,6,11βH-eudesman-6,12-olide (4). These metabolites were characterized on the basis of their spectral data and the identity of 4 was further confirmed by chemical synthesis.

The biotransformation of vulgarin , an eudesmanolides-type sesquiterpene lactone obtained from , by the microorganism, , was carried out to give three more polar metabolites; 1--tetrahydrovulgarin (1α,4α-dihydroxy-5αH,6,11βH-eudesman-6,12-olide , 20% yield, 1α,4α-dihydroxyeudesm-2-en-5αH,6,11βH-6,12-olide , 10% yield, and C-1 epimeric mixture , 4% yield, in a ratio of 4:1, . The structures of vulgarin and its metabolites were elucidated by 1 and 2D NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with HRESIMS. Metabolites and are epimers, and they are reported here for the first time as new metabolites obtained by biotransformation by selective reduction at C-1.

The current investigation assessed the effect of the eudesmanolid, Vulgarin (VGN), obtained from (), on the antidiabetic potential of glibenclamide (GLB) using streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetes. Seven groups of rats were used in the study; the first group received the vehicle and served as normal control. The diabetic rats of the second to the fifth groups were treated with the vehicle (negative control), GLB at 5 mg/kg (positive control), VGN at 10 mg/kg (VGN-10) and VGN at 20 mg/kg (VGN-20), respectively.

() is one of the major representative aetiologies of recalcitrant nosocomial infections. Genotypic and phenotypic alterations in have resulted in a significant surge in multidrug resistance (MDR). Of all the factors responsible for the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), efflux protein pumps play a paramount role.

Different lipase enzymes have been tested in order to perform regioselective acetylations on the eudesmane tetrol from vulgarin. High yields (95%) of 1,12-diacetoxy derivative (4) were achieved in 1 h with Candida antarctica lipase (CAL). However, only the 12-acetyl derivative (6) was obtained in similar yield with Mucor miehei (MML) or Candida cylindracea (CCL) lipases.
