Degradation and Reconstruction of Moenomycin A and Derivatives: Dissecting the Function of the Isoprenoid Chain
摘要:
Moenomycin A is the only known natural product that inhibits peptidoglycan biosynthesis by binding the bacterial transglycosylases. We describe a degradation/reconstruction route to manipulate the reducing end of moenomycin A. A comparison of the biological and enzyme inhibitory activity of moenomycin A and an analogue containing a nerol lipid in place of the natural C25 lipid chain provides insight into the role of the moenocinol unit. Our results show that a lipid chain having ten carbons in moenocinol is sufficient for enzyme inhibition, but a longer chain is required for biological acitivity, apparently because the molecule must partition into biological membranes to reach its target in bacterial cells.
pentasaccharide to the moenocinyl chain. This moiety contains two negatively charged groups, a phosphorylgroup and a carboxylate. Both the phosphorylgroup and the carboxylate have previously been implicated in target binding but the role of the carboxylate has not been explored in detail. Here we report the synthesis of six MmA analogues designed to probe the importance of the phosphoglycerate. These
Moenomycin A (MmA) 属于天然产物家族,通过与肽聚糖糖基转移酶(制造肽聚糖聚糖链的酶)结合来抑制肽聚糖生物合成。MmA 非常有效,但其临床效用受到较差的物理化学性质的阻碍。Moenomycin 包含三个结构不同的区域:一个五糖、一个磷酸甘油酸酯和一个 C25 异戊二烯基(moenocinyl)脂质尾,该分子的名称由此而来。磷酸甘油酸酯部分将五糖连接到 moenocinyl 链。该部分包含两个带负电荷的基团,一个磷酰基和一个羧酸根。磷酰基和羧酸根之前都与靶标结合有关,但尚未详细探讨羧酸根的作用。在这里,我们报告了六种 MmA 类似物的合成,旨在探讨磷酸甘油酸的重要性。评估了这些类似物的抗菌和酶抑制活性;磷酸甘油酸和蛋白质靶标之间的特定接触通过 X 射线晶体学结合分子建模进行评估。磷酸甘油酸酯链的磷酰基和羧酸盐都在靶标结合中起作用。羧酸盐的负电荷,而不是其特定结构,似乎是结合的

The present invention provides novel moenomycin analogs as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof, methods of synthesis, and methods of use in treating an infection by administering an inventive compound to a subject in need thereof. The moenomycin analogs may be prepared synthetically, biosynthetically, or semi-synthetically. The analogs are particularly useful in treating or preventing infections caused by Gram-positive organisms. Certain inventive compounds may have a broader spectrum of coverage, which includes Gram-negative organisms.
