Hybrid biosynthesis and absolute configuration of macrolide antibiotic. M-4365G1.

Hybrid biosynthesis and absolute configuration of macrolide antibiotic M-4365 G1.

The structure and absolute configuration of the 18-membered macrolide lactone antibiotic X-4357B (concanamycin A).

Sir: The structure of the first l8-membered lactone, borrelidin, was described in 1967 by KELLERSCHIERLEIN1). In recent years, four more antibiotics have been added to this class. Concanamycins A, B and C2.3), produced by Streptomyces diastatochromogenes S45, inhibit the proliferation of mouse splenic lymphocytes stimulated by concanavalin A. The fourth antibiotic, virustomycin A4,5) also produ...

Hybrid biosynthesis of derivatives of protylonolide and M-4365 by macrolide-producing microorganisms.

Biotransformation of a macrolide antibiotic and a related compound was studied using various macrolide-producing microorganisms grown in the presence of cerulenin, an inhibitor of de novo synthesis of the aglycone moiety. Protylonolide (1) was transformed into 5-O-(4'-O-propionylmycarosyl)protylonolide (2) by a leucomycin-producing strain, Streptoverticillium kitasatoensis KA-429. M-4365 G2 (3)...

Redetermination and absolute configuration of pruniflorone M monohydrate

THE TITLE XANTHONE KNOWN AS PRUNIFLORONE M (SYSTEMATIC NAME: (2R)-5,10-dihy-droxy-2-hy-droxy-methyl-1,1-dimethyl-1H-furo[2,3-c]xanthen-6-one), crystallized in a monohydrate form, C(18)H(16)O(6)·H(2)O. It was isolated from the green fruits of Cratoxylum formosum ssp. pruniflorum. The structure of the title compound has been reported previously [Boonnak et al. (2010 ▶). Aust. J. Chem. 63, 1550-15...

Absolute structure and absolute configuration.

Fundamental notions concerning absolute structure and absolute configuration, and their determination from single-crystal diffraction measurements, are presented and reviewed. A glossary of terms with definitions useful in this field is provided. For absolute structure and its determination, the separate but interacting influences of the structure and the inversion-distinguishing power of an X-...
