In this study, a stereoisomer of macrocidin B was synthesized, showing a weaker herbicidal effect compared to macrocidin A and no similar inhibitory effect on biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus.
A stereoisomer of macrocidin B, a presumed metabolite of the fungus Phoma macrostoma, was synthesized in 18 steps and 2.7% yield from protected L-tyrosine that was N-beta-ketoacylated with a fully functionalized octanoyl Meldrum's acid. Dieckmann condensation gave a 3-acyltetramic acid, which was macrocyclized via Williamson etherification between the phenol and epi-bromohydrin termini. This macrocidin B stereoisomer showed a weaker herbicidal effect than macrocidin A and no similar inhibitory effect on biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus.
