Abstract: Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are involved in the biosynthesis of a wide range of bioactive secondary metabolites. They often introduce several oxy functionalities at different positions of a substrate through multiple steps and produce a range of oxidized derivatives. Herein, we describe a one-pot two-step hydroxylation of the diterpenoid b-cembrenediol isolated from the plant Nicotiana tabacum. This 14-membered macrocycle shows neuroprotective effects and is, along with its oxidized derivatives, of pharmaceutical interest. Sequential hydroxylations catalyzed by the regioselective P450 BM3 mutants F87A/I263L and V78A/F87G yielded the epimeric (9S,10R/S)-b-cembrenetetraols with a diastereomeric ratio of 48:52. The replacement of the mutant V78A/F87G with L75A/ V78A/F87G in the second step improves the diastereomeric ratio up to 10:90. Absolute configurations of the newly introduced hydroxy groups were determined by quantum-mechanical calculations of NMR spectra.
