Benanomicins were found as antifungal antibiotics from the culture of an actinomycete with potent antifungal activities in vitro and in vivo. We aimed to generate derivatives superior to benanomicin A by biotransformation using Escherichia coli constructed with bacterial P450 expression system. We found transformation of benanomicin A into two derivatives, 10-hydroxybenanomicin A and 11-O-demethylbenanomicin A by one of the P450-expressed strains which harbored a plasmid carrying a CYP105C1-homologous gene. Unexpectedly, the biotransformed compounds showed weak antifungal activities in vitro compared with those of benanomicin A.
