Schisanlactone E (SE) is a major triterpene obtained from the plants of genus Kadsura. The aim of this research was to investigate the transformed metabolites of SE by fungi and evaluate the bioactivities of these products. After screening 10 strains of filamentous fungi, Cunninghamella blakesleana AS 3.970 was chosen as a potent organism to be used for the biotransformation of SE. 13 metabolites were obtained and determined to be new compounds through the use of spectroscopic data, including UV, 1D-, 2D-NMR, and HR-ESIMS. Furthermore, in an in vitro bioassay, metabolites 7 and 9 showed moderate inhibitory effects on the nitric oxide production in LPS-induced macrophages with IC50 values of 16.73, 5.91 μM, respectively; 9 could inhibit the proliferation of acetaldehyde-induced HSC-T6 cells, with the IC50 value of 21.4 μM. Preliminary findings on the structure-activity relationships for these metabolites were also discussed.

Background: New potential biological targets prediction through inverse molecular docking technique is another smart strategy to forecast the possibility of compounds being biologically active against various target receptors.
Objective: In this case of designed study, we screened our recently obtained novel acetylenic steroidal biotransformed products [(1) 8-β-methyl-14-α-hydroxyΔ4tibolone (2) 9-α-HydroxyΔ4 tibolone (3) 8-β-methyl-11-β-hydroxyΔ4tibolone (4) 6-β-hydroxyΔ4tibolone, (5) 6-β-9-α-dihydroxyΔ4tibolone (6) 7-β-hydroxyΔ4tibolone)] from fungi Cunninghemella Blakesleana to predict their possible biological targets and profiling of ADME properties.
Methods: The prediction of pharmacokinetic properties, membrane permeability, and bioavailability radar properties was carried out by using Swiss target prediction and Swiss ADME tools, respectively.

Imperation analogs have the furanocoumarin skeleton, with the isopentenyl group, which displayed significant bioactivities. The biotransformation of furanocoumarins imperation, isoimperation and phellopterin (1-3) by fungi has been proved to be an efficient method for the structural modification. Ten transformed furanocoumarin analogs were obtained by fungal biotransformation, including one new highly oxygenated furanocoumarin (4c).

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the metabolite profile of [(3)H]triptolide in rats. The separation and characterisation techniques used to identify the major metabolites were high-performance liquid chromatography-online radiodetector, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance. In all, 33 major metabolites were detected.
