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.
