Abstract
In order to characterize the structural elements that might play a role in non-covalent DNA binding by the antitumor antibiotic leinamycin, we have solved the crystal structures of the two leinamycin analogs, methyl (R)-5-[2-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)ethyl]thiazol-4-yl]penta-(E,E)-2,4-dienoate, C(16)H(22)N(2)O(4)S, (II), and 2-methyl-8-oxa-16-thia-3,17-diazabicyclo[12.2.1]heptadeca-(Z,E)-1(17),10,12,14-tetraene-4,9-dione, C(14)H(16)N(2)O(3)S, (III). The penta-2,4-dienone moiety in both of these analogs adopts a conformation close to planarity, with the thiazole ring twisted out of the plane by 12.9 (2) degrees in (II) and by 21.4 (4) degrees in (III).
