Abstract:
We report here that flavonol (3-hydroxyflavone) was O-glucosylated efficiently by filamentous fungus Cunninghamella echinulata. Kaemferol and some other flavonols were also glucosylated. The novel conversion is expected to be applicable to prepare glycosylated flavonoids which are commonly found in plants and mammalian metabolites of related compounds.
