The microbiological transformation of the diterpene ent-15beta,16beta-epoxy-14alpha-hydroxykaurane into ent-14alpha,15beta-dihydroxy-11alpha,16alpha-epoxykaurane, ent-7alpha,14alpha,15beta-trihydroxy-11alpha,16alpha-epoxykaurane and ent-7beta,14alpha,15beta-trihydroxy-11alpha,16alpha-epoxykaurane has been carried out using the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi. The incubation with this fungus of sideroxol (ent-7alpha,18-dihydroxy-15beta,16beta-epoxykaurane) gave as main products ent-7alpha,15beta,18-trihydroxy-11alpha,16alpha-epoxykaurane and ent-7alpha,13,18-trihydroxy-15alpha,16alpha-epoxykauranc. Some of these compounds were identified as their acetate derivatives. The presence of the 15alpha,16alpha-epoxy group in these two substrates inhibits transformations involving oxidation at C-19 and favours the hydroxylation at C-11(beta).
