Non-enzymatic pyridine ring formation in the biosynthesis of the rubrolone tropolone alkaloids

Abstract: The pyridine ring is a potent pharmacophore in alkaloid natural products. Nonetheless, its biosynthetic pathways are poorly understood. Rubrolones A and B are tropolone alkaloid natural products possessing a unique tetra-substituted pyridine moiety. Here, we report the gene cluster and propose a biosynthetic pathway for rubrolones, identifying a key intermediate that accumulates upon inactivation of sugar biosynthetic genes. Critically, this intermediate was converted to the aglycones of rubrolones by non-enzy… Show more

“…Vergleichbar reaktiv sind die bakteriellen Rubrolone, Tropolon‐ und Pyridinringe tragende Naturstoffe aus Streptomyces . Ihre Biosynthese wurde kürzlich beschrieben, wobei gezeigt wurde, dass der Tropolonring durch eine Umlagerung eines Typ‐II‐Polyketidsynthase(PKS)‐abgeleiteten Intermediats entsteht, während der Pyridinring nichtenzymatisch aus einem 1,5‐Diketon und einem Amin gebildet wird . Der ursprüngliche, Amin‐freie Naturstoff konnte jedoch nur nach Manipulation des Biosynthese‐Genclusters (BGC) in Form des Aglykons nachgewiesen werden.…”

“…Analyse der HMBC‐Spektren aller drei Verbindungen wies auf eine ungewöhnliche Tropolonstruktur ähnlich zu den beschriebenen Rubrolonen A ( 4 ) und B ( 5 ) hin (Abbildung S2), auch wenn 4 und 5 einen zusätzlichen Pyridinring und einen anderen Zucker enthalten. Da für die Rubrolone gezeigt wurde, dass sie sich von Amin‐freien und damit Isatropolon‐ähnlichen Vorstufen ableiten, die schließlich nach Deletion der Glycosyltransferase‐kodierenden Gene auch nachgewiesen wurden, wurden 1 – 3 mit Ammoniak quantitativ in die entsprechenden, Isarubrolone A–C ( 6 – 8 ) genannten Pyridinderivate umgewandelt. Eine detaillierte NMR‐Analyse von 6 – 8 (Tabellen S5–S7) sowie NMR‐Analyse (unter anderem durch INADEQUATE‐Experimente) von mit Ammoniak umgesetztem 1 , das nach Fütterung von markiertem Acetat erhalten wurde (Tabelle S5 und Abbildung b), bestätigten alle Strukturen.…”
