Total Syntheses of Linear Polythiazole/Oxazole Plantazolicin A and Its Biosynthetic Precursor Plantazolicin B**
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plantazolicin A, a linear decacyclic natural product, exhibits desirable selective activity against the causative agent of anthrax toxicity. The total synthesis of plantazolicin A and its biosynthetic precursor plantazolicin B was successfully achieved by an efficient, unified, and highly convergent route featuring dicyclizations to form 2,4-concatenated oxazoles and the mild synthesis of thiazoles from natural amino acids. This report represents the first synthesis of plantazolicin B and includes the first complete characterization data for both natural products.

Plantazolicin, a novel microcin B17/streptolysin S-like natural product from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42.
Here we report on a novel thiazole/oxazole-modified microcin (TOMM) from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42, a Gram-positive soil bacterium. This organism is well known for stimulating plant growth and biosynthesizing complex small molecules that suppress the growth of bacterial and fungal plant pathogens. Like microcin B17 and streptolysin S, the TOMM from B. amyloliquefaciens FZB42 undergoes ex...
متن کاملTotal synthesis of siphonazole and its O-methyl derivative, structurally unusual bis-oxazole natural products.
The details of the first syntheses of the unusual bis-oxazole natural products siphonazole and its O-methyl derivative are reported. The cinnamyl substituted oxazole was constructed using diazocarbonyl chemistry, whereby the cinnamamide was reacted with the rhodium carbene derived from methyl 2-diazo-3-oxobutanoate to give a beta-ketoamide that was cyclodehydrated to the corresponding oxazole-4...
متن کاملDiscovery of a widely distributed toxin biosynthetic gene cluster.
Bacteriocins represent a large family of ribosomally produced peptide antibiotics. Here we describe the discovery of a widely conserved biosynthetic gene cluster for the synthesis of thiazole and oxazole heterocycles on ribosomally produced peptides. These clusters encode a toxin precursor and all necessary proteins for toxin maturation and export. Using the toxin precursor peptide and heterocy...

متن کاملProgress towards the synthesis of Urukthapelstatin A and two analogues.
We report our progress towards the synthesis of Urukthapelstatin A (Ustat A) and two analogues. Our retrosynthetic strategy involved the synthesis of three fragments: a tri-heteroaromatic moiety, a phenyl oxazole fragment, and a dipeptide. Described are the syntheses of three unique tri-heteroaromatic moieties. In addition, the corresponding linear precursors of Ustat A and two analogues are pr...
