Tris[(6S)-6-hydroxy-4-epi-shikimic acid] monohydrate: an enantiomerically pure hydroxylated shikimic acid derived from methyl shikimate
نویسندگان
چکیده
The title compound, 3C(7)H(10)O(6)·H(2)O, is the enanti-omerically pure product of a multi-step synthesis from the enanti-omerically pure natural shikimic acid. The asymmetric unit contains three mol-ecules of the acid and one mol-ecule of water. The cyclo-hexene rings of the acids have half-chair conformations. The carboxyl-ate, the four hydroxide groups and the additional water mol-ecule form a complex three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network.

Targeting the shikimate pathway in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
The shikimate pathway presents an attractive target for malaria chemotherapy. Three shikimic acid analogs exhibited different effects on Plasmodium falciparum growth. (6R)-6-Fluoro-shikimate and (6S)-6-fluoro-shikimate inhibited growth (50% inhibitory concentrations, 1.5 x 10(-5) and 2.7 x 10(-4) M, respectively), whereas 2-fluoro-shikimate had no effect. para-Aminobenzoic acid abrogated the in...
متن کاملGeneration of aroE overexpression mutant of Bacillus megaterium for the production of shikimic acid
BACKGROUND Shikimic acid, the sole chemical building block for the antiviral drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), is one of the potent pharmaceutical intermediates with three chiral centers. Here we report a metabolically engineered recombinant Bacillus megaterium strain with aroE (shikimate dehydrogenase) overexpression for the production of shikimic acid. RESULTS In a 7 L bioreactor, 4.2 g/L shikim...
متن کاملEnzymes of the shikimic acid pathway encoded in the genome of a basal metazoan, Nematostella vectensis, have microbial origins.
The shikimic acid pathway is responsible for the biosynthesis of many aromatic compounds by a broad range of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants, and some protozoans. Animals are considered to lack this pathway, as evinced by their dietary requirement for shikimate-derived aromatic amino acids. We challenge the universality of this traditional view in this report of genes encoding enzy...
متن کاملThe Enzymatic Formation and Isolation of 3-enolpyruvylshikimate 5-phosphate.
Previous investigations (l-5) have established in some detail the path of aromatic biosynthesis in bacteria, starting with glucose and leading to the formation of shikimate 5-phosphate (Fig. 1). This was also true of the conversion of prephenate to phenylalanine (6) and tyrosine (7), and of anthranilate to tryptophan (8-10). On the other hand, it was not known how shikimate 5-phosphate is conve...
متن کاملOmega-cyclohexyl fatty acids in acidophilic thermophilic bacteria. Studies on their presence, structure, and biosynthesis using precursors labeled with stable isotopes and radioisotopes.
Omega-Cyclohexyl undecanoic acid and omega-cyclohexyl tridecanoic acid were found in 10 strains of acido-thermophilic bacteria isolated from different Japanese hot springs. These unusual fatty acids were found in the esterified form in glyceride type complex lipids and constituted 74 to 93% of the total fatty acids in the bacteria. The fatty acids other than omega-cyclohexyl fatty acids found w...
