Rhizocticins and Plumbemycins are natural phosphonate antibiotics produced by the bacterial strains Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 and Streptomyces plumbeus, respectively. Up to now, these potential threonine synthase inhibitors have only been synthesized under enzymatic catalysis. Here we report the chemical stereoselective synthesis of the non-proteinogenic (S,Z)-2-amino-5- phosphonopent-3-enoic acid [(S,Z)-APPA] and its use for the synthesis of Rhizocticin A and Plumbemycin A. In this work, (S,Z)-APPA was synthesized via the Still-Gennari olefination starting from Garner's aldehyde. The Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction was used to form the phosphorus-carbon bond. Oligopeptides were prepared using liquid phase peptide synthesis (LPPS) and were tested against selected bacteria and fungi.

The widely used and well-known bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 was found to produce two novel, antifungal hydrophilic peptide antibiotics, L-arginyl-L-2-amino-5-phosphono-3-cis-pentenoic acid (L-Arg-L-APPA, rhizocticin A) and L-valyl-L-arginyl-L-2-amino-5-phosphono-3-cis-pentenoic acid (L-Val-L-Arg-L-APPA, rhizocticin B).Besides rhizocticin A and B, the main components, small amounts of related tripeptides were detected.Instead of the L-Val of rhizocticin B they contain L-Ile or L-Leu and are referred to as rhizocticin C and D, respectively.The C-terminal residue was identified by NMR spectroscopy as the unsaturated phosphono amino acid L-APPA, known till now only as D enantiomer.Enzymatic cleavages of rhizocticin B yielded both L-APPA and rhizocticin A.
