title: Biotransformation of a dibenzylbutanolide to podophyllotoxin analogues by shoot cultures of Haplophyllum patavinum.
abstract: A peroxidase from spent medium of shoot cultures from Haplophyllum patavinum (L.) G. Don catalyzes the biotransformation of a synthetic dibenzybutanolide into a podophyllotoxin analogue and a novel compound, derived by the opening of the lactone ring.
