Metabolism of the veterinary fluoroquinolone sarafloxacin by the fungus Mucor ramannianus.

To investigate the microbial biotransformation of veterinary fluoroquinolones, Mucor ramannianus was grown in sucrose/peptone broth with sarafloxacin for 18 days. Cultures were extracted with ethyl acetate and extracts were analyzed by liquid chromatography. The two metabolites (26% and 15% of the A280, respectively) were identified by mass and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra as N-acetylsarafloxacin and desethylene-N-acetylsarafloxacin. The biological formation of desethylene-N-acetylsarafloxacin has not been previously observed.[1]
