Towards new antibiotics targeting bacterial transglycosylase: Synthesis of a Lipid II analog as stable transition-state mimic inhibitor.


ABSTRACT: Described here is the asymmetric synthesis of iminosugar 2b, a Lipid II analog, designed to mimic the transition state of transglycosylation catalyzed by the bacterial transglycosylase. The high density of functional groups, together with a rich stereochemistry, represents an extraordinary challenge for chemical synthesis. The key 2,6-anti- stereochemistry of the iminosugar ring was established through an iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination. The developed synthetic route is suitable for the synthesis of focused libraries to enable the structure-activity relationship study and late-stage modification of iminosugar scaffold with variable lipid, peptide and sugar substituents. Compound 2b showed 70% inhibition of transglycosylase from Acinetobacter baumannii, providing a basis for further improvement.
