Mutasynthesis of fluorinated pactamycin analogues and their antimalarial activity

Org Lett. 2013 Apr 5;15(7):1678-81. doi: 10.1021/ol4004614. Epub 2013 Mar 22.

Abstract

A mutasynthetic strategy has been used to generate fluorinated TM-025 and TM-026, two biosynthetically engineered pactamycin analogues produced by Streptomyces pactum ATCC 27456. The fluorinated compounds maintain excellent activity and selectivity toward chloroquine-sensitive and multidrug-resistant strains of malarial parasites as the parent compounds. The results also provide insights into the biosynthesis of 3-aminobenzoic acid in S. pactum.
