Microbial transformation of azaarenes and potential uses in pharmaceutical synthesis

Pyridine, quinoline, acridine, indole, carbazole, and other heterocyclic nitrogen-containing compounds (azaarenes) can be transformed by cultures of bacteria and fungi to produce a variety of new

Aspergillus niger catalyzes the synthesis of flavonoids from chalcones

It is demonstrated that Aspergillus niger is capable of cyclizing chalcones to flavanones, affording a mimic of plant biosynthetic processes.

Synthesis of New 4-Oxo-Tetrahydroindol Derivatives by Using Chemical and Microbial Biotransformation Methods

Abstract An efficient method for the preparation of 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindoles was successfully applied to the synthesis of N-substituted 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindoles (4) and (5) for the

Biotransformation of Tryptophan by Liquid Medium Culture of Psilocybe coprophila (Basidiomycetes)

The show of the tryptophan biotransformation with Psilocybe coprophila on liquid culture medium proves once more the versatility of fungi in performing a wide range of industrially attractive chemical reactions.

Biotransformation of tryptamine derivatives in mycelial cultures of Psilocybe

This work has reported the first example of a directed biosynthesis of tryptamine substances by fungi in mycelial cultures of Psilocybe cubensis.

Microbial Hydroxylation of Indole to 7-Hydroxyindole by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus Strain 4-1-5

A screening study yielded Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain 4-1-5, which is capable of hydroxylated indole to 7-hydroxyindole by cometabolism of indole using terephthalate as cosubstrate.

Microorganisms as tools in modern chemistry: the biotransformation of 3-indolylacetonitrile and tryptamine by fungi

Interestingly, these fungi were able to perform both reduction and oxidation of the indole compounds fed, the oxidation occurring with improved levels of oxygen uptake, proving once more the versatility of microorganisms to perform a wide range of industrially attractive chemical reactions.

Preparation of the 4-hydroxytryptamine scaffold via palladium-catalyzed cyclization: a practical and versatile synthesis of psilocin.

[reaction: see text] The 4-hydroxytryptamine scaffold of psilocin was successfully prepared via palladium-catalyzed cyclization of protected N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-iodo-3-methoxyaniline and an
