An Expeditious Synthesis of DPD and Boron Binding Studies
摘要:
A practical synthesis has been developed for DPD (4,5-dihydroxypentane-2,3-dione), an unstable small molecule that is proposed to be the source of universal signaling agents for quorum sensing in bacteria. The synthesis allows preparation of isotopically labeled DPD and entDPD as well as detailed studies of spontaneous binding to borate to give the unusual borate complex 6, the signal for marine bacteria such as Vibrio harveyi.
An efficient synthesis of the precursor of AI-2, the signalling molecule for inter-species quorum sensing
摘要:
Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is a signalling molecule for bacterial inter-species communication. A synthesis of (S)-4,5-dihydroxypentane-2,3-dione (DPD), the precursor of AI-2, is described starting from methyl glycolate. The key step was an asymmetric reduction of a ketone with (S)-Alpine borane. This new method was highly reproducible affording DPD for biological tests without contaminants. The biological activity was tested with the previously available assays and compared with a new method using an Escherichia coli reporter strain thus avoiding the use of the pathogenic Salmonella reporter.
