Abstract
AbstractEchinocandin B was catalytically reduced with hydrogen, deuterium, or tritium. HPLC analysis of the products showed that the labeled analogs exhibited a significant isotope effect relative to the unlabeled parent, with the elution order tritiated < deuterated < hydrogenated. Mass spectral data and specific activity measurements indicated label incorporation exceeded saturation of the double bonds. Proton nmr of the deuterated compound indicated labeling was confined to the aliphatic side chain. A model compound, anilinosteareamide, prepared from the linoleic precursor by reduction with hydrogen or deuterium, incorporated the label only in the aliphatic chain, and also exhibited an isotope effect. This helped confirm that label incorporation in only the fatty acid portion of tetrahydroechinocandin B was sufficient to cause the observed isotope effect.
