Associated research grant:07/54762-8 - Obtaining structural analogues of pimaradienoic acid through the process of fungal biotransformation and study of the effect of these metabolites on the activity of the TcDHODH enzyme and on the contraction of the vascular smooth muscle of the aorta artery of mice, AP.BTA.JP

Abstract

The goal of the present project is obtain derivatives from Kaurenoic Acid (KA), a diterpene found in high amounts in the leaves of Mikania glomerata, which is associated with several biological activities, including its antifungal properties. The structural modifications in the chemical skeleton of KA will be performed by biotransformation processes using two different microorganisms, Aspergillus terreus and Penicillium brevicompactum. The obtained metabolites will be evaluated against a panel of phytopathogens responsible for serious agricultural diseases. Moreover, the inhibitory effect on rat aorta contraction of these metabolites will also be investigated. (AU)
