Fengycins are cyclic lipo-depsipeptides produced by that display potent antifungal properties but are chemically unstable. This instability has meant that no total synthesis of any fengycin has been published. Here we report the synthesis of fengycin A analogues that display enhanced antifungal properties and chemical stability under both basic and acidic conditions. The analogues prepared also demonstrate that the fengycin core structure can be modified and simplified without the loss of antifungal activity.
丰余菌素是由 产生的环状脂肽,具有很强的抗真菌特性,但化学性质不稳定。这种不稳定性意味着没有任何丰余菌素的全合成被发表。在这里,我们报告了丰余菌素 A 类似物的合成,这些类似物在碱性和酸性条件下都表现出增强的抗真菌特性和化学稳定性。所制备的类似物还表明,丰余菌素的核心结构可以被修饰和简化,而不会失去抗真菌活性。
