Total Synthesis of Daptomycin by Cyclization via a Chemoselective Serine Ligation
摘要:
A total synthesis of daptomycin, the first natural product antibiotic launched in a generation, was achieved. This convergent synthesis relies on an efficient macrocyclization via a serine ligation to assemble the 31-membered cyclic depsipeptide. The difficult esterification by the nonproteinogenic amino acid kynurenine was accomplished via the esterification of a threonine residue by a suitably protected Trp ester, followed by ozonolysis. This synthesis provides a foundation and framework to prepare varied analogues of daptomycin to establish its structure-activity profile.

A method for the synthesis of daptomycin or a daptomycin analogue is carried out on a resin to form a linear precursor followed by a serine ligation macrocyclization in solution. Daptomycin analogues can differ from daptomycin by substitution of amino acids residues and/or deletion or addition of amino acid residues. Daptomycin analogues can include a different fatty acid in the side arm of the daptomycin analogue.

Increased usage of daptomycin to treat infections caused by Gram-positive bacterial pathogens has resulted in emergence of resistant mutants. In a search for more effective daptomycin analogues through medicinal chemistry studies, we found that methylation at the nonproteinogenic amino acid kynurenine in daptomycin could result in significant enhancement of antibacterial activity. Termed "kynomycin," this new antibiotic exhibits higher antibacterial activity than daptomycin and is able to eradicate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) strains, including dapto-mycin-resistant strains. The improved antimicrobial activity of kynomycin was demonstrated in in vitro time-killing assay, in vivo wax worm model, and different mouse infection models. The increased antibacterial activity, improved pharmacokinetics, and lower cytotoxicity of kynomycin, compared to daptomycin, showed the promise of the future design and development of next-generation daptomycin-based antibiotics.
