Total Synthesis and Examination of Three Key Analogues of Ramoplanin: A Lipoglycodepsipeptide with Potent Antibiotic Activity
摘要:
The total synthesis and evaluation of three key ramoplanin aglycon analogues are detailed. The first (5a) represents replacement of the labile depsipeptide ester with a stable amide (HAsn2 --> Dap2) with removal of the HAsn pendant carboxamide, and it was found to be slightly more potent than the natural aglycon in antimicrobial assays providing a new lead structure with an improved profile and a more stable and accessible macrocyclic template on which to conduct structure-function studies. In contrast, a second amide analogue 5b which contains a single additional methylene relative to 5a (HAsn2 --> Dab2) was found to be inactive in antimicrobial assays (>100-fold loss in activity). The third key analogue 5c in which the Asn1 lipid side chain was replaced with an acetyl group revealed that it contributes significantly to the antimicrobial activity (16-fold) of the ramoplanins, but is not essential.

ramoplanin A2 aglycon, a potent antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall biosynthesis, is detailed. As a consequence of both its increased stability (lactam vs lactone) and its "relative" ease of synthesis, the alanine scan was conducted on [Dap2]ramoplanin A2 aglycon, which possesses antimicrobial activity equal to or slightly more potent than that of ramoplanin A2 or itsaglycon. Thus, 14 key
