title: Microbial metabolism. Part 8. The pyranocoumarin, decursin.
abstract: Microbial transformation of the cancer chemopreventive agent, decursin (1) with Sepedonium chrysospermem (ATCC 13378) yielded two metabolites, (+)-decursinol (2) and (-)-cis-decursidinol (3). The structures were established by spectroscopic data.
