as the starting substrate for a variety of alkaloid biosynthetic pathways, by replacing the indole with one of four aza-indole isomers. We show that two aza-tryptamine substrates can be successfully incorporated into the products of the monoterpene indole alkaloid pathway inCatharanthus roseus. Use of unnatural heterocycles in precursor-directed biosynthesis, in both microbial and plant natural product pathways
通过引入新的起始材料,可以劫持生物合成途径以产生新的化合物。在这里,我们通过用四种氮杂吲哚异构体之一替换吲哚来改变色胺,色胺是各种生物碱生物合成途径的起始底物。我们表明两种氮杂色胺底物可以成功地掺入长春花中单萜吲哚生物碱途径的产物中。非天然杂环在微生物和植物天然产物途径中的前体导向生物合成中的使用尚未得到广泛证明,并且先前未报道过成功掺入含有氮杂吲哚官能团的起始底物类似物。
