Enzymatic Glycosylation of Vancomycin Aglycon: Completion of a Total Synthesis of Vancomycin and N- and C-Terminus Substituent Effects of the Aglycon Substrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies on the further development of the sequential glycosylations of the vancomycin aglycon catalyzed by the glycosyltransferases GtfE and GtfD and the observation of unusual, perhaps unexpected, aglycon substrate substituent effects on the rate and efficiency of the initial glycosylation reaction are reported.

Insights into Key Interactions between Vancomycin and Bacterial Cell Wall Structures
Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic used for the treatment of serious infections by Gram-positive pathogens. Vancomycin inhibits cell wall biosynthesis by targeting the d-Ala-d-Ala terminus of peptidoglycan (PG). The highly cross-linked heptapeptide aglycon structure of vancomycin is the d-Ala-d-Ala binding site. The first residue of vancomycin is N-methyl-leucine, which is crucial for the ...
متن کاملA mechanistic study of enantiomeric separation with vancomycin and balhimycin as chiral selectors by capillary electrophoresis. Dimerization and enantioselectivity.
The role of the sugar moiety of glycopeptide antibiotics in chiral recognition was investigated with capillary electrophoresis. Two glycopeptide antibiotics, vancomycin and balhimycin, were employed as models since they possess the same aglycon and almost identical sugar moieties, however, with different attachment sites to the aglycon. The observed enantioselectivity of balhimycin for dansylat...
متن کاملInvestigation into the functional impact of the vancomycin C-ring aryl chloride.
A vancomycin aglycon analogue that possesses a reduced C-ring and an intact E-ring chloride was prepared and its antimicrobial activity towards Staphylococcus aureus and binding affinity to model cell wall ligands were established. Comparison of the derivative with a series of vancomycin aglycon analogues that possess and lack the chloro substituents on the aryl C- and E-rings defines the impac...
متن کاملQuercetine, a Major Flavonol Aglycon from Tanacetum balsamita L.
From the aerial parts of Tanacetum balsamita L. (Compositae) a flavonol aglycon was isolated using chromatographic techniques. The structure of this compound was determined using spectroscopic methods (UV, H-NMR and MS) as 3',4',5,7-Tetrahydroxy flavonol (Quercetin).
