Abstract
Modified cyclic dipeptides represent a diverse family of microbial secondary metabolites. They display a broad variety of biological and pharmacological activities and have long been recognized as privileged structures with the ability to bind to a wide range of receptors. This is due to their conformationally constrained 2, 5-diketopiperazine (DKP) scaffold and the diverse set of DKP tailoring enzymes present in nature. After initial DKP assembly through different biosynthetic systems modifying enzymes are responsible for installing functional groups crucial for the biological activities of the resulting modified DKPs. They represent a vast and largely untapped enzyme repository very useful for synthetic biology approaches aiming at introducing structural variations into DKP scaffolds. In this review we focus on these DKP modification enzymes found in various microbial secondary metabolite gene clusters. We will give a brief overview of their distribution and highlight a select number of characterized DKP tailoring enzymes before turning to their application potential in combinatorial biosynthesis with the aim of producing molecules with improved or entirely new biological and medicinally relevant properties.

Abstract
The stereoselective incorporation of fluorine atoms into N-heterocycles can lead to dramatic changes in the molecules’ physical and chemical properties. These changes can be rationally exploited for the benefit of diverse fields such as medicinal chemistry and organocatalysis. This brief review will examine some of the effects that fluorine substitution can have in N-heterocycles, including changes to the molecules’ stability, their conformational behaviour, their hydrogen bonding ability, and their basicity. Finally, some methods for the synthesis of stereoselectively fluorinated N-heterocycles will also be reviewed.

Abstract
Acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) is a promising therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases. Although a number of synthetic ACAT inhibitors have been developed, they have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. Now, the presence of two ACAT isoforms with distinct functions, ACAT1 and ACAT2, has been discovered. Thus, the selectivity of ACAT inhibitors toward the two isoforms is important for their development as novel anti-atherosclerotic agents. The selectivity study indicated that fungal pyripyropene A (PPPA) is only an ACAT2-specific inhibitor. Furthermore, PPPA proved orally active in atherogenic mouse models, indicating it possessed cholesterol-lowering and atheroprotective activities. Certain PPPA derivatives, semi-synthetically prepared, possessed more potent and selective in vitro activity than PPPA against ACAT2. This review covers these studies and describes the future prospects of ACAT2-specific inhibitors.

Abstract
Important biologically active indole alkaloids are decorated with prenyl (3,3-dimethylallyl) and tert-prenyl (1,1-dimethylallyl) groups. Covering the literature until the end of 2010, this review article comprehensively summarises and discusses the currently available technologies of prenylation and tert-prenylation of indoles, which have been applied in natural products total syntheses or could be applied there in the near future. We focus on those procedures which introduce the C(5) units in one step, organised according to the indole position to be functionalised. Key strategies include electrophilic and nucleophilic prenylation and tert-prenylation, prenyl and tert-prenyl rearrangements, transition metal-mediated reactions and enzymatic methods.

Abstract
The replacement of hydrogen atoms with fluorine substituents in organic substrates is of great interest in synthetic chemistry because of the strong electronegativity of fluorine and relatively small steric footprint of fluorine atoms. Many sources of nucleophilic fluorine are available for the derivatization of organic molecules under acidic, basic, and neutral conditions. However, electrophilic fluorination has historically required molecular fluorine, whose notorious toxicity and explosive tendencies limit its application in research. The necessity for an electrophilic fluorination reagent that is safe, stable, highly reactive, and amenable to industrial production as an alternative to very hazardous molecular fluorine was the inspiration for the discovery of selectfluor. This reagent is not only one of the most reactive electrophilic fluorinating reagents available, but it is also safe, nontoxic, and easy to handle. In this Review we document the many applications of selectfluor and discuss possible mechanistic pathways for its reaction.

Abstract
Pyrroloindoline and bispyrroloindoline are a subclass of alkaloid structural motifs that commonly exhibit biological activity. An enantioselective organocatalytic approach to the synthesis of pyrroloindoline architecture is described. The addition-cyclization of tryptamines with alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes in the presence of imidazolidinone catalysts 1 and 8 provides pyrroloindoline adducts in high yield and excellent enantioselectivities. This transformation is successful for a wide range of tryptamine and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde substrates. This amine-catalyzed sequence has been extended to the enantioselective construction of furanoindoline frameworks. Application of this pyrroloindoline-forming reaction to natural product synthesis has been accomplished in the context of the enantioselective synthesis of (-)-flustramine B.

Abstract
Micro-organisms continue to provide an important source of chemical diversity for the discovery of compounds with new biological activities. Microbial metabolites discovered recently using assays to detect compounds with potential pharmacological utility are surveyed and found to represent an extensive range of structural types produced by a wide variety of organisms. Assays used for screening samples produced by microbial processes must be robust, sensitive and specific and able to operate above a background of potential interferences from a number of sources. Discovery assays currently in use fall into three main categories cell-based, receptor-ligand interaction and enzyme inhibition assays. Trends in the use of these assays and new developments in assay technology applicable to the screening of microbial samples are examined with particular reference to the high throughput screening environment. For microbial screening to be a competitive route to new drug leads, the disciplines involved must be engineered into a seamlessly integrated process to deliver novel compounds with the required biological properties rapidly.
