Abstract

Nowadays, biotransformation has been highlighted as an important process to chemical transformations. This process is useful to obtain new compounds which are not easily generated by traditional chemical synthesis. Fungi biotransformations have know application in the pharmaceutical industry for drug development. This process is used to selective modification of natural and synthetic products also to obtain enantiomerically selectivity. Lapachol is a naphthoquinone extracted from Bignoniacea plants family that present a lot of interesting biological activities to pharmaceutical industry. A large number of studies of natural products biotransformation are reported in literature, but only a few are related with lapachol. Moreover, there are no studies about the biotransformation route of Lapachol by proteome technique. Thus the objective of this work is to study the lapachol biotransformation process by proteomics filamentous fungi, identifying biotransformed products and proposing the biotransformation route through identification of involved enzymes in the process.
