Pyonitrins A-D are recently isolated natural products from the insect-associated strain, which were isolated from complex fractions that exhibited antifungal activity via an murine candidiasis assay. Genomic studies of suggested that pyonitrins A-D are formed via a spontaneous nonenzymatic reaction between biosynthetic intermediates of two well-known natural products pyochelin and pyrrolnitrin. Herein we have accomplished the first biomimetic total synthesis of pyonitrins A-D in three steps and studied the nonenzymatic formation of the pyonitrins using N NMR spectroscopy.
吡咯并[1,2-a]吡啶-2,3-二酮 A-D 是从昆虫共生的菌株中分离得到的天然产物,这些化合物是从具有抗真菌活性的复杂混合物中分离得到的,其活性通过小鼠念珠菌病模型检测。对菌株的基因组研究表明,吡咯并[1,2-a]吡啶-2,3-二酮 A-D 是通过两种著名天然产物吡咯并[1,2-a]吡啶-2,3-二酮和吡咯并[1,2-a]吡啶-3,4-二酮生物合成中间体之间的自发非酶反应形成的。本文我们通过三步反应首次实现了吡咯并[1,2-a]吡啶-2,3-二酮 A-D 的全生物模拟合成,并通过 N NMR 光谱研究了吡咯并[1,2-a]吡啶-2,3-二酮的非酶形成过程。
