The biosynthesis of the azabicyclic ring system of the azinomycin family of antitumor agents represents the "crown jewel" of the pathway and is a complex process involving at least 14 enzymatic steps. This study reports on the first biosynthetic step, the inroads, in the construction of the novel aziridino [1,2-a]pyrrolidine, azabicyclic core, allowing us to support a new mechanism for azabicycle formation.
氮杂霉素家族抗肿瘤药物氮杂双环体系的生物合成是该途径的“皇冠上的明珠”，是一个涉及至少14个酶促步骤的复杂过程。本研究报道了新型氮丙啶并[1,2-a]吡咯烷氮杂双环核心构建过程中的首个生物合成步骤及进展，这使我们能够支持氮杂双环形成的新机制。
