Heronapyrrole D: A case of co-inspiration of natural product biosynthesis, total synthesis and biodiscovery.

ABSTRACT: The heronapyrroles A-C have first been isolated from a marine-derived Streptomyces sp. (CMB-0423) in 2010. Structurally, these natural products feature an unusual nitropyrrole system to which a partially oxidized farnesyl chain is attached. The varying degree of oxidation of the sesquiterpenyl subunit in heronapyrroles A-C provoked the hypothesis that there might exist other hitherto unidentified metabolites. On biosynthetic grounds a mono-tetrahydrofuran-diol named heronapyrrole D appeared a possible candidate. We here describe a short asymmetric synthesis of heronapyrrole D, its detection in cultivations of CMB-0423 and finally the evaluation of its antibacterial activity. We thus demonstrate that biosynthetic considerations and the joint effort of synthetic and natural product chemists can result in the identification of new members of a rare class of natural products.

Elucidation of genes enhancing natural product biosynthesis through co-evolution analysis

Project description:Streptomyces has the largest repertoire of natural product biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), yet developing a universal engineering strategy for each Streptomyces species is challenging. Given that some Streptomyces species have larger BGC repertoires than others, we hypothesized that a set of genes co-evolved with BGCs to support biosynthetic proficiency must exist in those strains, and that their identification may provide universal strategies to improve the productivity of other strains. We show here that genes co-evolved with natural product BGCs in Streptomyces can be identified by phylogenomics analysis. Among the 597 genes that co-evolved with polyketide BGCs, 11 genes in the “coenzyme” category have been examined, including a gene cluster encoding for the co-factor pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ). When the pqq gene cluster was engineered into 11 Streptomyces strains, it enhanced production of 16,385 metabolites, including 36 known natural products with up to 40-fold improvement and several activated silent gene clusters. This study provides a new engineering strategy for improving polyketide production and discovering new biosynthetic gene clusters.

Total Synthesis of Callyspongiolide: An Anticancer Marine Natural Product.

Project description:The stereoselective total synthesis of cytotoxic marine macrolide callyspongiolide has been reported. The 14-membered macrolactone ring along with Z-olefin in the molecule was constructed via an intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination in a Z-selective fashion. The other E-olefinic moiety as well as the C9 stereocenter was introduced via stereoselective addition of the methyl group in an SN2' fashion. The C5 stereocenter was installed via Sakurai allylation, whereas the C7 center was fixed by Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution. The C12 methyl and C13 hydroxy centers were fixed via Macmillan coupling reaction. The macrolactone core with a vinyl iodide side chain was coupled with the known alkyne fragment to complete the synthesis.

Heterologous biosynthesis of natural product naringenin by co-culture engineering.

Project description:Co-culture engineering is an emerging approach for microbial biosynthesis of a variety of biochemicals. In this study, E. coli-E. coli co-cultures were developed for heterologous biosynthesis of the natural product naringenin. The co-cultures were composed of two independent E. coli strains dedicated to functional expression of different portions of the biosynthetic pathway, respectively. The co-culture biosynthesis was optimized by investigating the effect of carbon source, E. coli strain selection, timing of IPTG induction and the inoculation ratio between the co-culture strains. Compared with the mono-culture strategy, the utilization of the designed co-cultures significantly improved the naringenin production, largely due to the reduction of metabolic stress, employment of proper hosts for improving pathway enzyme activities, and flexible adjustment of the relative biosynthetic strength between the co-culture strains. The findings of this study extend the applicability of co-culture engineering in complex natural product biosynthesis.

Total synthesis of the antibacterial polyketide natural product thailandamide lactone.

Project description:Stereoselective total synthesis of the structurally intriguing polyketide natural product thailandamide lactone was accomplished, and done so using a convergent approach for the first time to the best of our knowledge. The key features of this synthesis included use of a Crimmins acetate aldol reaction, Evans methylation, Urpi acetal aldol reaction, Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and subsequent γ-lactonization for the installation of six asymmetric centers and the use of the Negishi reaction, Julia-Kocienski olefination, cross metathesis, HWE olefination and intermolecular Heck coupling for construction of a variety of unsaturated linkages. Pd(i)-based Heck coupling was introduced, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, quite efficiently to couple the major eastern and sensitive western segments of the molecule. The antibacterial activity of thailandamide lactone was also evaluated.

Total Synthesis of the Dihydrooxepine-Spiroisoxazoline Natural Product Psammaplysin A.

Project description:We report a general synthetic entry to dihydrooxepine-spiroisoxazoline (DOSI) natural products that culminated in the first racemic total synthesis of psammaplysin A. For the synthesis of the unique spirocyclic fragment we employed a strategy that features two key transformations: (1) a diastereoselective Henry reaction/cyclization sequence to access the C7 hydroxylated isoxazoline scaffold in one step and (2) a regioselective Baeyer-Villiger ring expansion to install the fully substituted dihydrooxepine and avoid the risk of a previously observed oxepine-arene oxide rearrangement. The overall synthesis proceeds in 13 steps from an inexpensive starting material.

Concise Total Synthesis and Antifungal Activities of Fusaric Acid, a Natural Product.

Project description:The total synthesis of a natural product alkaloid fusaric acid (FA), which exhibits herbicide, fungicide, insecticide and even diverse notable pharmacological activities, was accomplished in four steps using commercially available materials. The synthesis, based on a unified and flexible strategy using 6-bromonicotinaldehyde as a common intermediate, is concise, convergent, practical and can be carried out on a two-gram scale. This approach could be readily applicable to the synthesis of its analogues. In addition, FA had a wide range of inhibitory activities against 14 plant pathogenic fungi in this study, which demonstrated that as a leading compound, and it has great potential to be further developed as an agricultural fungicide.

Biologically Inspired Total Synthesis of Ulbactin F, an Iron-Binding Natural Product.

Project description:Natural products from environmental microbiomes provide exquisite templates for elucidating biological activity in the search for new drugs. A recently discovered marine Brevibacillus sp. metabolite, ulbactin F, was found to inhibit tumor cell migration and invasion at IC50 < 3 μM. Herein, we disclose the first total synthesis of ulbactin F and epi-ulbactin F, which was modeled after the biosynthetic pathway. The scaffold bears structural similarity to siderophores of human pathogens but contains a novel tricyclic ring system derived from cysteine. We have found that ulbactin F forms low-affinity metal complexes, with a preference for Fe3+ and Cu2+, which may hint both at its environmental role and its antimetastatic mechanism of action.

Total synthesis and structure-activity investigation of the marine natural product neopeltolide.

Project description:The total synthesis and biological evaluation of neopeltolide and analogs are reported. The key bond-forming step utilizes a Lewis acid-catalyzed intramolecular macrocyclization that installs the tetrahydropyran ring and macrocycle simultaneously. Independent of each other, neither the macrolide nor the oxazole side chain substituents of neopeltolide can inhibit the growth of cancer cell lines. The biological data of the analogs indicate that alterations to either the ester side chain or the stereochemistry of the macrolide result in a loss of biological activity.
