A novel lipopeptide antibiotic, stalobacin I (1), was discovered from a culture broth of an unidentified Gram-negative bacterium. Stalobacin I (1) had a unique chemical architecture composed of an upper and a lower half peptide sequence, which were linked via a hemiaminal methylene moiety. The sequence of 1 contained an unusual amino acid, carnosadine, 3,4-dihydroxyariginine, 3-hydroxyisoleucine, and 3-hydroxyaspartic acid, and a novel cyclopropyl fatty acid. The antibacterial activity of 1 against a broad range of drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria was much stronger than those of last resort antibiotics such as vancomycin, linezolid, and telavancin (MIC 0.004-0.016 μg/mL). Furthermore, compound 1 induced a characteristic morphological change in Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains by inflating the bacterial cell body. The absolute configuration of a cyclopropyl amino acid, carnosadine, was determined by the synthetic study of its stereoisomers, which was an essential component for the strong activity of 1.

Poecillastrin E (1), F (2), and G (3) were isolated from a marine sponge Poecillastra sp. as the cytotoxic constituents. Their planar structures were determined by analyzing the MS and NMR spectra. They are closely related to the known poecillastrin C (4). The absolute configuration of the β-hydroxyaspartic acid (OHAsp) residue was determined to be D-threo by Marfey's analysis of the hydrolysate. The mode of lactone ring formation of OHAsp residue in 1–3 was determined by selective reduction of the ester linkage followed by acid hydrolysis.

The complex amino acid (l-threo)-3-[3-[4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoylamino]benzyloxy]aspartate (l-TFB-TBOA) and its derivatives are privileged compounds for studying the roles of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) in regulation of glutamatergic neurotransmission, animal behavior, and in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. The wide-spread use of l-TFB-TBOA stems from its high potency of EAAT inhibition and the lack of off-target binding to glutamate receptors. However, one of the main challenges in the evaluation of l-TFB-TBOA and its derivatives is the laborious synthesis of these compounds in stereoisomerically pure form. Here, we report an efficient and step-economic chemoenzymatic route that gives access to enantio- and diastereopure l-TFB-TBOA and its derivatives at multigram scale.
