Malacidin A is a novel calcium-dependent lipopeptide antibiotic with excellent activity against Gram-positive pathogens. Herein, a concise and robust synthetic route toward malacidin A is reported, employing 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl solid-phase peptide synthesis of a linear precursor, including late-stage incorporation of the lipid tail, followed by solution-phase cyclization. The versatility of this synthetic strategy was further demonstrated by synthesis of a diastereomeric variant of malacidin A and a small library of simplified analogues with variation of the lipid moiety.
马拉西丁A是一种新型的钙依赖性脂肽抗生素,对革兰氏阳性病原体具有优异的活性。本文报道了一条简洁且可靠的合成马拉西丁A的路线,采用9-芴甲氧羰基固相肽合成线性前体,包括后期引入脂尾,随后进行溶液相环化。通过合成马拉西丁A的非对映异构体变体和一个具有脂部分变化的简化类似物小文库,进一步证明了这种合成策略的通用性。
