(1S,2R,8aS)-1,2-Dihydroxyindolizidine formation by Rhizoctonia leguminicola, the fungus that produces slaframine and swainsonine

Abstract: The title diol (6a) has been shown to be a metabolite of Rhizoctonia leguminicola, the fungus that produces two toxic indolizidine alkaloids, swainsonine (1) and slaframine (2). The structure of 6a was established spectroscopically and confirmed by synthesis of both C-8a epimers 6a and 7a. The absolute configuration was inferred from the efficient reutilization of the isolated 6a to form 1. Diol 7a could not be detected among the products of fermentation. It is noteworthy that 6a is probably an intermediate in… Show more

“…In SW biosynthetic pathway of fungus, saccharopine reductase 911 catalyzes the transformation of lysine and saccharopine to form alpha-aminohexanedioichemialdehyde, which is one of the precursors of SW biosynthesis. So saccharopine reductase is also a key enzyme in SW biosynthesis 11 .…”

“…In particular, several biosynthetic pathways involving epimerization have been suggested for different natural products. For example, epimerization has also been suggested to account for the different configuration at C‐8a of swainsonine ( 30 ), relative to 2‐ epi ‐lentiginosine ( 28 ) and slaframine ( 29 ), all of which are produced by the fungus Rhizoctonia leguminicola 46a. In addition, 2‐ epi ‐lentiginosine ( 28 ) has been reported to be a late intermediate in the biosynthesis of slaframine ( 29 ) and swainsonine ( 30 ) by Harris and co‐workers 46b.…”

“…(1 S ,2 R ,8a S )‐Octahydroindolizine‐1,2‐diol (18) : Based on a modified procedure by Harris11, a solution of bicyclic piperidine (27.0 mg, 0.12 mmol) in a 1:3 mixture of 10 % H 2 SO 4 and MeOH (2 mL) was stirred at 50 °C for 12 h and cooled to RT. Flash column chromatography (MeOH/CH 2 Cl 2 =50:50) afforded 17 (17.5 mg, 92.8 %) as a colorless oil.…”
