Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering novel biocatalytic routes for production of semisynthetic opiate drugs.

TL;DR: The biotransformation of morphine and codeine to the potent analgesic hydromorphone and the mild analgesic/antitussive hydrocodone, respectively, by recombinant Escherichia coli has been demonstrated and the problems encountered when engineering such a system will be discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial degradation of the morphine alkaloids: identification of morphinone as an intermediate in the metabolism of morphine by Pseudomonas putida M10

TL;DR: A strain of Pseudomonas putida was isolated by selective enrichment with morphine that was capable of utilising morphine as a primary source of carbon and energy for growth and was shown to be capable of oxidising morphine and codeine to morphinone and codeinone, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological synthesis of the analgesic hydromorphone, an intermediate in the metabolism of morphine, by Pseudomonas putida M10.

TL;DR: The morphine alkaloid hydromorphone (dihydromorphinone) was identified as an intermediary metabolite in the degradation of morphine by Pseudomonas putida M10 and a constitutive NADH-dependent morphinone reductase capable of catalyzing the reduction of the 7,8-unsaturated bond of Morphinone and codeinone, yielding hydrom orphone and hydrocodone, respectively was shown to be present in cell extracts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of transformation products arising from bacterial oxidation of codeine by Streptomyces griseus.

TL;DR: This is the first report providing structural evidence for the biological formation of 14-hydroxycodeine from codeine and of codeine oxidation by S. griseus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biotransformations of morphine alkaloids by fungi: n-demethylations, oxidations, and reductions

TL;DR: The strain Cunninghamella echinulata proved to be the most effective for demethylations of all of the above compounds, except for morphine.
