Biotransformation of physalin H (373)
Rhizopus stolonifer-catalyzed the transformation of physalin H (373) and yielded the new derivative, 6, 7-
dehydrophysalin H (374) (2.10%) [Figure 67], while structural transformation with Cunninghamella
[87]
elegans afforded a new compound, 6-deoxyphysalin H (375) (4.10%), along with the known metabolite,
