Abstract

A synthesis program for structurally complex macrocycles is very challenging. Herein, we propose a biosynthesis pathway of the pyranylated cyclodepsipeptide verucopeptin to make enough supply and to diversify verucopeptin by genetic manipulation and one-step semisynthesis. The synthesis relies on the intrinsic reactivity of the interchangeable hemiketal pyrane and opened keto along with adjacent alkene. Biological evaluation of verucopeptin-oriented analogs delivers a potent AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonist, antibacterial agent, and selective NFκB modulator.
