aurachins includes the intriguing migration of the prenyl group by a pinacol‐type rearrangement. In vitro analysis of AuaGH revealed that these enzymes catalyze epoxidation coupled with semipinacolrearrangement (see scheme) and ketoreduction. Thus, the AuaGH system was revealed to be a novel enzymatic system for establishing semipinacolrearrangements.
A one-step synthesis of the rare aurachin E (1) from the easily accessible aurachin C (2) and cyanogen bromide is described. 3-Bromocarbamoylquinoline (5) is formed in a side reaction with concomitant loss of the 3-farnesyl residue. In an alternative approach, aurachin D (3) was reacted with phosgene and sodium azide to form the imidazolone ring of 1 via N-acylation. Unexpectedly, the initial reaction occurred at the carbonyl group of 3 to give 1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinoline 4. The reaction sequence represents a novel route to this type of compound. Aurachin E, contrary to other aurachins, combines a high in vitro antiplasmodial activity with low cytotoxicity and absence of mitochondrial respiratory inhibition.
