Abstract
A protocol for the isolation of the antibiotic fidaxomicin (Fdx) from Actinoplanes deccanensis and the isolation of shunt metabolites from A. deccanensis fdxG2− is reported. We constructed the mutant strain A. deccanensis fdxG2− by genetic manipulation which enabled the isolation of shunt metabolites as useful starting points for semisynthetic analogues of Fdx. Furthermore, a synthetic protocol for the conversion of complex A. deccanensis fdxG2− extracts into the single compound FdxG2-OH via methanolysis is presented. This synthetic procedure is complemented by images and practical notes. Full structure assignment is given in the SI and the characterization data files are published to aid experimentalists. The protocol is also suitable as an undergraduate laboratory project. We hope to facilitate research into new Fdx derivatives through the availability of this procedure.
期刊介绍:
Helvetica Chimica Acta, founded by the Swiss Chemical Society in 1917, is a monthly multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge in all disciplines of chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical, technical, theoretical and analytical chemistry) as well as research at the interface with other sciences, where molecular aspects are key to the findings. Helvetica Chimica Acta is committed to the publication of original, high quality papers at the frontier of scientific research. All contributions will be peer reviewed with the highest possible standards and published within 3 months of receipt, with no restriction on the length of the papers and in full color.
