Herein, we report a short semisynthesis of the potent transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channel agonist englerin A (EA) and the related guaianes oxyphyllol and orientalol E. The guaia-6,10(14)-diene starting material was systematically engineered in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and was produced with high titers. The potentially scalable approach combines the advantages of synthetic biology and chemical synthesis providing an efficient and economical method for producing EA and analogues.
