This review highlights the biosynthesis of heterocycles in polyketide natural products with a focus on oxygen and nitrogen-containing heterocycles with ring sizes between 3 and 6 atoms. Heterocycles are abundant structural elements of natural products from all classes and they often contribute significantly to their biological activity. Progress in recent years has led to a much better understanding of their biosynthesis. In this context, plenty of novel enzymology has been discovered, suggesting that these pathways are an attractive target for future studies.
本综述重点介绍了聚酮类天然产物中杂环的生物合成,着重关注含有3至6个原子环的含氧和含氮杂环。杂环是各类天然产物中丰富的结构元素,它们通常对其生物活性有显著贡献。近年来的进展使人们对其生物合成有了更好的理解。在这方面,已发现大量新颖的酶学,这表明这些途径是未来研究的一个有吸引力的目标。
