title: Biotransformation of (+)-camphor by cultured cells of Eucalyptus perriniana.
abstract: Seven new biotransformation products were isolated from a jar fermentor culture of Eucalyptus perriniana following administration of (+)-camphor. The main product was (1S,4R,6S)-6-hydroxybornan-2-one 6-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The minor components were (1S,4R,6R)-6-hydroxybornan-2-one 6-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, (1R,4S,6S)-6-hydroxybornan-2-one 6-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, (1R,4R,5R)-5-hydroxybornan-2-one 5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, (1R,3R,4S)-3-hydroxybornan-2-one 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, (1R,4R,7R)-8-hydroxybornan-2-one 8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside and 2-(4-oxo-2,2,3-trimethylcyclopentyl)-ethyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside. All products were mono-glucosides and the oxygen function was introduced before glucosylation. Reduction of the ketone group of camphor was not observed.
