Jadomycins, put a bigger ring in it: Isolation of seven- to ten-membered ring analogues

Abstract

We report the production, isolation, and characterization of jadomycins with seven-, nine-, and ten-membered E-rings, all of which are unique natural product ring scaffolds. This significantly expands the scope of a non-enzymatic biosynthetic step in jadomycin biosynthesis in order to produce novel natural products.
