We report here the enzymatic biosynthesis of FR-900098 analogues and establish an in vivo platform for the biosynthesis of an N-propionyl derivative FR-900098P. FR-900098P is found to be a significantly more potent inhibitor of Plasmodium falciparum 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (PfDxr) than the parent compound, and thus a more promising antimalarial drug candidate.
我们在此报告FR-900098类似物的酶促生物合成,并建立了一个用于生物合成N-丙酰基衍生物FR-900098P的体内平台。研究发现,FR-900098P对恶性疟原虫1-脱氧-D-木酮糖5-磷酸还原异构酶(PfDxr)的抑制作用比母体化合物显著更强,因此是一个更有前景的抗疟药物候选物。
