Biocatalysis of curcumenol (1) was performed by Mucor polymorphosporus AS 3.3443. Six metabolites including five new compounds were obtained, and their structures were elucidated as 10β-hydroxy-9,10-dihydrocurcumenol (2), 2β-hydroxycurcumenol (3), 15-hydroxycurcumenol (4), 12-hydroxycurcumenol (5), 1-hydroxy-4αH-guai-1,6,9-triene-2,8-dione (6), and 5-hydroxycarbonyl-1-oxo-3,7-dimethylindane (7) by spectroscopic analysis. M. polymorphosporus catalyzed unusual degradation and rearrangement reactions to generate a ring-contracted metabolite (7) of curcumenol (1). Curcumenol (1) and metabolites 4-7 exhibited inhibitory activities against lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 macrophages, with 7 exhibiting more potent activity than curcumenol.

2'-Z auraptene (1) is a synthesized monoterpene coumarin with anticancer activity against human gastric cancer cells. In order to find new potential anticancer agent, Mucor polymorphosporus was used to transform cis-auraptene. Four new terpene coumarins with notable changes in the skeletal backbone, 2'-Z auraptene A-D (2-5), were obtained and evaluated for their antiproliferative effects against human normal gastric epithelium cells and human gastric cancer cells.

The possible role of sialic acids in host cells-fungi interaction and their association with glycoproteins were evaluated using a clinical isolate of the dimorphic fungus Mucor polymorphosporus. Lectin-binding assays with spores and yeast cells denoted the presence of surface sialoglycoconjugates containing 2,3- and 2,6-linked sialylglycosyl groups. Western blotting with peroxidase-labeled Limulus polyphemus agglutinin revealed the occurrence of different sialoglycoprotein types in both cell lysates and cell wall protein extracts of mycelia, spores, and yeasts of M.
