Sclerotiorin, an azaphilone polyketide, is a bioactive natural product known to inhibit 15-lipoxygenase and many other biological targets. To readily access sclerotiorin and analogs, we developed a 2-3 step semisynthetic route to produce a variety of azaphilones starting from an advanced, putative azaphilone intermediate (5) overproduced by an engineered strain of Aspergillus nidulans. The inhibitory activities of the semisynthetic azaphilones against 15-lipoxygenase were evaluated with several compounds displaying low micromolar potency.
栓菌酮,一种氮杂菲酮聚酮,是一种具有生物活性的天然产物,已知能抑制 15-脂氧合酶和许多其他生物靶点。为了方便获得栓菌酮及其类似物,我们开发了一种 2-3 步半合成路线,从工程化的构巢曲霉菌株过度产生的一种先进的、假定的氮杂菲酮中间产物(5)开始,生产各种氮杂菲酮。用几种具有低微摩尔效力的化合物评估了半合成氮杂菲酮对 15-脂氧合酶的抑制活性。
