Transformation of 2,2'-Bimorphine to the Novel
Compounds 10-
-S-Monohydroxy-2,2'-Bimorphine and
10,10'-
,
'-S,S'-Dihydroxy-2,2'-Bimorphine by
Cylindrocarpon didymum
-S-monohydroxy-2,2'-bimorphine and
10,10'-
,
'-S,S'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bimorphine.
Mass spectrometry and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance
spectroscopy confirmed the identities of these new morphine alkaloids.
