چکیده
The enantioselective synthesis of (2R,3R,4E,8E)-3-hydroxy-2,4,8-trimethyldeca-4,8-dienolide (5) by ring-closing metathesis is described. This compound is an analogue of 3,4-dihydroxy-2,4,6,8-tetramethyldec-8-enolide (4) which is a rare 11-membered lactone produced by the fungus, Botrytis cinerea. Mutasynthetic studies with compound 5 using two mutants of B. cinerea led to the isolation of four new highly oxygenated 11-membered lactones (11-14) in which compound 5 has been stereoselectively epoxidized and hydroxylated at sites that were not easily accessible by classical synthetic chemistry.

Exploring the biocombinatorial potential of benzoxazoles: generation of novel caboxamycin derivatives
BACKGROUND The biosynthesis pathway of benzoxazole compounds caboxamycin and nataxazole have been recently elucidated. Both compounds share one of their precursors, 3-hydroxyanthranilate (two units in the case of nataxazole). In addition, caboxamycin structure includes a salicylate moiety while 6-methylsalycilate is the third scaffold in nataxazole. Pathways cross-talk has been identified in ca...
متن کاملExpanding the structural diversity of polyketides by exploring the cofactor tolerance of an inline methyltransferase domain.
A strategy for introducing structural diversity into polyketides by exploiting the promiscuity of an in-line methyltransferase domain in a multidomain polyketide synthase is reported. In vitro investigations using the highly-reducing fungal polyketide synthase CazF revealed that its methyltransferase domain accepts the nonnatural cofactor propargylic Se-adenosyl-l-methionine and can transfer th...
متن کاملRational reprogramming of fungal polyketide first-ring cyclization.
Resorcylic acid lactones and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid lactones represent important pharmacophores with heat shock response and immune system modulatory activities. The biosynthesis of these fungal polyketides involves a pair of collaborating iterative polyketide synthases (iPKSs): a highly reducing iPKS with product that is further elaborated by a nonreducing iPKS (nrPKS) to yield a 1,3-benze...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of trioxacarcin revealing a different starter unit and complex tailoring steps for type II polyketide synthase† †Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: The experimental procedures, strains, plasmids and PCR primers, and compound characterization. See DOI: 10.1039/c5sc00116a
Trioxacarcins (TXNs) are highly oxygenated, polycyclic aromatic natural products with remarkable biological activity and structural complexity. Evidence from C-labelled precursor feeding studies demonstrated that the scaffold was biosynthesized from one unit of L-isoleucine and nine units of malonyl-CoA, which suggested a different starter unit in the biosynthesis. Genetic analysis of the biosy...
