Researchers developed a bioconversion system to obtain DA analogues from linear substrates using DabC expressed in Escherichia coli. Three IA analogues with various substitutions were prepared, and their toxicity in mice was examined by intracerebroventricular injection. Results suggest that the 7 '-carbonyl group in the side chain of IA is crucial for its toxicity, supported by docking studies of DA, IA, and the analogues to GluK1.
Domoic acid (1, DA), a member of the natural kainoid family, is a potent agonist of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the central nervous system. The chemical synthesis of DA and its derivatives requires considerable effort to establish a pyrrolidine ring containing three contiguous stereocenters. Recently, a biosynthetic cyclase for DA, DabC, was identified. This enzyme cyclizes the linear precursor of isodomoic acid A (IA) to IA, a bioactive DA analogue. In this study, we developed a bioconversion system to obtain DA analogues from linear substrates prepared by simple chemical synthesis using DabC expressed in Escherichia coli, in vivo. Three IA analogues with various substitutions at the C7 '-geranyl terminus were prepared using this system: two minor natural analogues, 7 '-methyl-IA (5) and 7 '-hydroxy-IA (6), and one new unnatural analogue, 7 '-amide-IA (7). In addition, the toxicity of these DA analogues in mice was examined by intracerebroventricular injection. Most of the mice injected with 5 (3 nmol) and 6 (3 nmol) did not show any adverse symptoms, whereas the mice injected with 7 (3 nmol) showed typical symptoms induced by DA (1, 0.7 nmol) and IA (2, 3 nmol). These results suggest that the 7 '-carbonyl group in the side chain of IA (2) is crucial for its toxicity. The docking studies of DA, IA (2), 5, 6, and 7 to GluK1 supported these results.
