Hagar M, Andersen RJ, Ryan KS. Prephenate decarboxylase: An unexplored branchpoint to unusual natural products. Cell Chem Biol 2024; 31:1610-1626. [PMID: 39059391 DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2024.06.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Prephenate decarboxylases are a small family of enzymes which initiate a specialized divergence from the shikimate pathway, where prephenate (2) is decarboxylated without aromatization. In addition to effecting a challenging chemical transformation, prephenate decarboxylases have been implicated in the production of rare specialized metabolites, sometimes directly constructing bioactive warheads. Many of the biosynthetic steps to natural products derived from prephenate decarboxylases remain elusive. Here, we review prephenate decarboxylase research thus far and highlight natural products that may be derived from biosynthetic pathways involving prephenate decarboxylases. We also highlight commonly encountered challenges in the structure elucidation of these natural products. Prephenate decarboxylases are a gateway into understudied biosynthetic pathways which present a high potential for the discovery of novel and bioactive natural products, as well as new biosynthetic enzymes.

Schneider YKH, Liaimer A, Isaksson J, Wilhelmsen OSB, Andersen JH, Hansen KØ, Hansen EH. Four new suomilides isolated from the cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. KVJ20 and proposal of their biosynthetic origin. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1130018. [PMID: 37152725 PMCID: PMC10157211 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1130018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
The suomilide and the banyasides are highly modified and functionalized non-ribosomal peptides produced by cyanobacteria of the order Nostocales. These compound classes share several substructures, including a complex azabicyclononane core, which was previously assumed to be derived from the amino acid tyrosine. In our study we were able to isolate and determine the structures of four suomilides, named suomilide B - E (1-4). The compounds differ from the previously isolated suomilide A by the functionalization of the glycosyl group. Compounds 1-4 were assayed for anti-proliferative, anti-biofilm and anti-bacterial activities, but no significant activity was detected. The sequenced genome of the producer organism Nostoc sp. KVJ20 enabled us to propose a biosynthetic gene cluster for suomilides. Our findings indicated that the azabicyclononane core of the suomilides is derived from prephenate and is most likely incorporated by a proline specific non-ribosomal peptide synthetase-unit.

Abstract
First-row transition-metal-mediated reactions constitute an important and growing area of research due to the low cost, low toxicity, and exceptional synthetic versatility of these metals. Currently, there is considerable effort to replace existing precious-metal-catalyzed reactions with first-row analogs. More importantly, there are a plethora of unique transformations mediated by first-row metals, which have no classical second- or third-row counterpart. Herein, the application of first-row metal-mediated methods to the total synthesis of natural products is discussed. This Review is intended to highlight strategic uses of these metals to realize efficient syntheses and highlight the future potential of these reagents and catalysts in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Silyl groups such as TBDPS, TBDMS, TIPS or TMS are well-known and widely used alcohol protective groups in organic chemistry. Cyclic silylene protective groups are also becoming increasingly popular. In carbohydrate chemistry silyl protective groups have frequently been used primarily as an orthogonal protective group to the more commonly used acyl and benzyl protective groups. However, silyl protective groups have significantly different electronic and steric requirements than acyl and alkyl protective groups, which particularly becomes important when two or more neighboring alcohols are silyl protected. Within the last decade polysilylated glycosyl donors have been found to have unusual properties such as high (or low) reactivity or high stereoselectivity. This mini review will summarize these findings.

Abstract
Liverwort Blasia pusilla L. recruits soil nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria of genus Nostoc as symbiotic partners. In this work we compared Nostoc community composition inside the plants and in the soil around them from two distant locations in Northern Norway. STRR fingerprinting and 16S rDNA phylogeny reconstruction showed a remarkable local diversity among isolates assigned to several Nostoc clades. An extensive web of negative allelopathic interactions was recorded at an agricultural site, but not at the undisturbed natural site. The cell extracts of the cyanobacteria did not show antimicrobial activities, but four isolates were shown to be cytotoxic to human cells. The secondary metabolite profiles of the isolates were mapped by MALDI-TOF MS, and the most prominent ions were further analyzed by Q-TOF for MS/MS aided identification. Symbiotic isolates produced a great variety of small peptide-like substances, most of which lack any record in the databases. Among identified compounds we found microcystin and nodularin variants toxic to eukaryotic cells. Microcystin producing chemotypes were dominating as symbiotic recruits but not in the free-living community. In addition, we were able to identify several novel aeruginosins and banyaside-like compounds, as well as nostocyclopeptides and nosperin.

Abstract
The family of epipolythiodiketopiperazine (ETP) natural products consists of over 200 members possessing a wide diversity of structures and biological activity. Recently, the subgroup of 6-5-6-5-6-membered ETPs has gained substantial attention, which has resulted in several total syntheses. Despite all the efforts that have been invested into accessing these complex structures, no synthesis of scabrosin diacetate (1 a) and its related esters has been reported. Herein, our attempts towards scabrosin diacetate (1 a) and haematocin (3) starting from diketopiperazine 12 a as a late-stage intermediate are presented. Diketopiperazine 12 a can be conveniently accessed in multigram quantities from aldehyde 18 and diketopiperazine 21 and was envisioned to serve as a general platform for the synthesis of 6-5-6-5-6-membered ETPs.

Abstract
In the past decade, guanidines have attracted attention as valuable hydrogen bond-based catalysts while they have long been considered as organic superbases with a broad scope of synthetic applicability. Their easy modification has also expanded their capacity to form complexes with a wide range of metal salts as effective metal scavengers. All these attractive aspects have promoted a huge growth in the field of organic synthesis involving guanidines and examples of such reactions have been collected in numerous reviews and some books. Moreover, this structural motif is also present in a large number of natural products and biologically active compounds that exhibit appealing properties and play important roles in medicinal chemistry. In this highlight, we will only cover the synthesis and properties of biologically active guanidine-containing peptides reported in the past 3 years.

Abstract
Five new natural products, aeruginosins GE686 (1), GE766 (2), GE730 (3), GE810 (4), and GE642 (5), were isolated along with four known aeruginosins, 98C, 101, KY642, and DA688, from bloom material of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa collected from a fish pond in Kibbutz Geva, Israel, in August 2007. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of various spectroscopic techniques, primarily NMR and MS, while the absolute configurations of the stereogenic centers were determined by Marfey's and chiral-phase HPLC methods. Two of the new aeruginosins, aeruginosins GE686 (1) and GE766 (2), contain the unprecedented d-m-Br-m'-Cl-p-hydroxyphenyllactic acid derivative. The structures and biological activities of the five new metabolites are described.

Abstract
Revised: the total synthesis of gomerone C results in revision of the stereochemical assignment at C3. The synthetic strategy relies on a late-stage Conia-ene reaction, which efficiently forms the bicyclo[3.2.1]octane containing the bridgehead chloride and generates an exocyclic olefin, which can be used as a flexible handle for further elaboration. The two contiguous quaternary centers are installed by means of a Diels-Alder reaction.

Abstract
The advent of organic synthesis and the understanding of the molecule as they occurred in the nineteenth century and were refined in the twentieth century constitute two of the most profound scientific developments of all time. These discoveries set in motion a revolution that shaped the landscape of the molecular sciences and changed the world. Organic synthesis played a major role in this revolution through its ability to construct the molecules of the living world and others like them whose primary element is carbon. Although the early beginnings of organic synthesis came about serendipitously, organic chemists quickly recognized its potential and moved decisively to advance and exploit it in myriad ways for the benefit of mankind. Indeed, from the early days of the synthesis of urea and the construction of the first carbon-carbon bond, the art of organic synthesis improved to impressively high levels of sophistication. Through its practice, today chemists can synthesize organic molecules--natural and designed--of all types of structural motifs and for all intents and purposes. The endeavor of constructing natural products--the organic molecules of nature--is justly called both a creative art and an exact science. Often called simply total synthesis, the replication of nature's molecules in the laboratory reflects and symbolizes the state of the art of synthesis in general. In the last few decades a surge in total synthesis endeavors around the world led to a remarkable collection of achievements that covers a wide ranging landscape of molecular complexity and diversity. In this article, we present highlights of some of our contributions in the field of total synthesis of natural products of biological and medicinal importance. For perspective, we also provide a listing of selected examples of additional natural products synthesized in other laboratories around the world over the last few years.

Abstract
Indole-3-acetonitrile-4-methoxy-2-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), a novel C-glycoside from Isatis indigotica with important cytotoxic activity, has been prepared in ten steps from ethynyl-β-C-glycoside 3 and 2-iodo-3-nitrophenyl acetate 6. Key steps in the synthesis include a Sonogashira coupling and a CuI-mediated indole formation. NMR spectroscopic data for synthetic 1 differs from that reported for the natural product. A revised structure for the natural product, containing an alternate carbohydrate substituent, is proposed.

Abstract
This review summarizes the current status of radical-based transition metal catalyzed reactions in organic chemistry. The underlying features of radical generation from transition metal complexes and radical reactivity in the framework of transition metal catalysis are discussed. The available arsenal to detect radicals in transition metal catalyzed transformations is presented. Available strategies to combine radical intermediates with transition metal catalysis are outlined. In the main part the currently known synthetic methodology of transition metal catalyzed reactions proceeding via radical intermediates is discussed. This part covers catalytic radical reactions involving group 4 to group 7 elements.
