Hydroxylation of the sesterterpene leucosceptrine by the fungus Rhizopus stolonifer.
The microbial transformation of leucosceptrine (1), the first member of class leucosesterterpenes, by Rhizopus stolonifer afforded two metabolites, 1alpha-hydroxyleucosceptrine (2), and 8alpha-hydroxyleucosceptrine (3).
