Structural Revision of Lydiamycin A by Reinvestigation of the Stereochemistry

Org Lett. 2020 May 15;22(10):3855-3859. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.0c01110. Epub 2020 Apr 24.

Abstract

Lydiamycin A (1) is a previously reported piperazic acid-bearing cyclic peptide from Streptomyces. The absolute configuration of lydiamycin A has not been fully determined despite the fact that multiple total syntheses have been reported. The absolute configuration of 1 was reinvestigated by the advanced Marfey's method, chemical derivatization, and quantum-mechanics-based computational analysis, eventually resulting in a structural revision and establishment of the complete configuration. Lydiamycin A displayed weak antituberculosis activity in vitro.
