Heterocycles are important building blocks in pharmaceutical drugs and their enzymatic synthesis is attracting increasing interest. In recent years, various enzymes of the amidohydrolase superfamily were reported to catalyze heterocycle-forming condensation reactions. One of these enzymes, MxcM, is biochemically and kinetically characterized in this study. MxcM generates an imidazoline moiety in the biosynthesis of the natural product pseudochelin A, which features potent anti-inflammatory properties. The enzyme shows maximal activity at 50 °C and pH 10 as well as a kcat/Km value of 22,932 s−1 M−1 at its temperature optimum. Experimental data suggest that the activity of MxcM does not depend on a catalytic metal ion, which is uncommon among amidohydrolases. MxcM is highly active in diverse organic solvents and concentrated salt solutions. Furthermore, we show that MxcM is also capable to introduce imidazoline rings into derivatives of its natural substrate myxochelin B. Overall, MxcM is a solvent-stable, halotolerant enzyme with promising biochemical and kinetic properties and, in future, might become a valuable biocatalyst for the manufacturing of pharmaceutical drugs.

The easily available pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazines of type 1 are versatile building blocks for ring transformation reactions.W ith heterocyclic quinones such as quinoline-2,5,8-triones 4a-c, a highly regioselective [4+2]-cycloaddition reaction takes place in the first step, followed by a ring transformation cascade.T he 1,6-diazaanthracene-2,9,10-triones 5a-e, which possess an additional bipyridine substructure, could be isolated as main products.In order to modify the starting products of type 1, a metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with acetylenic benzoic esters 9a,b has been performed.T he modified pyridopyrazines 10a,b which were obtained in good yields could be transformed by analogy to 1a,b into ring-fused heterocyclic quinones 12a,b.

A catalytic asymmetric intramolecular Darzens reaction of 2-halomalonate derivatives was developed for the enantioselective preparation of chiral building blocks for epoxide-containing natural products. Among the screened catalysts, some phase-transfer catalysts gave the desired epoxide in moderate enantioselectivity, albeit in low yield. The epoxide product would be useful as versatile chiral building blocks for natural product synthesis.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a biofilm-forming Gram-negative bacterium and a leading cause of life-threatening nosocomial infections. The polysaccharide synthesis locus (Psl) exopolysaccharide of P. aeruginosa is a key constituent of the defending bacterial biofilm layer and is a promising therapeutic target for resistant species. The Psl exopolysaccharide is built up from repeating pentasaccharide units which contain one α- and two β-mannosidic linkages, and one l-rhamnose and one d-glucose moieties. The preparation of this pentasaccharide was first described by Boons et al. in a 34-step synthesis. Based on their work, we have developed a new and effective pathway for the synthesis of the repeating pentasaccharide unit of the Psl exopolysaccharide. We have succeeded in simplifying the synthesis of the l-rhamnose and the α-selective d-mannose building blocks. Furthermore, taking advantage of a chemoselective pre-activation-based β-mannosylation, we directly prepare a thioglycoside disaccharide donor and use it in the next coupling reaction without further transformation. The pentasaccharide, in the form of a p-methoxyphenyl glycoside, is prepared in 26 steps, which is suitable for biological testing.

Carvone has corroborated its versatility as starting material for building blocks synthesis in organic chemistry, being achieved a new chiral lactone. It has been done a study on the antioxidant activity against superoxide of carvone and a chloro derivative that show the potent activity of the natural product ( R)-carvone, 1.
