Microbial transformation of immunosuppressive compounds. I. Desmethylation of FK506 and immunomycin (FR 900520) by Actinoplanes sp. ATCC 53771.
The immunosuppressants FK506 and FR 900520 were desmethylated by Actinoplanes sp. ATCC 53771 to yield various O-desmethylated products. The products were isolated and purified by solvent extraction and HPLC chromatography, and identified by NMR and MS spectroscopy.
