An efficient total synthesis of A54145 factor D (A5D), a member of the A54145 family of cyclic lipodepsipeptide antibiotics, is reported. The peptide was constructed by attaching the peptide to the 2′-chlorotrityl polystyrene resin via Sar5 and developing

Three new alkanoyl imidazoles, designated bulbimidazoles A-C (1-3), were found from the culture extract of the gammaproteobacterium Microbulbifer sp. DC3-6 isolated from a stony coral of the genus Tubastraea. The absolute configuration of the anteiso-methyl substitution in 1 was established to be a mixture of (R)- and (S)-configurations in a ratio of 9:91 by applying the Ohrui-Akasaka method. Compounds 1-3 displayed unique broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria and fungi with MICs ranging from 0.78 to 12.5 μg/mL. They also exhibited cytotoxicity toward P388 murine leukemia cells with IC50 in the micromolar range.
PRODUCTION METHOD OF CAPSINOID BY DEHYDRATING CONDENSATION, STABILIZING METHOD OF CAPSINOID, AND CAPSINOID COMPOSITION

Page/Page column 52, (2008/06/13)
In the production methods of capsinoid by esterification using an enzyme, a method of conveniently obtaining capsinoid in a high yield in a short time without using a dehydrating agent is provided. In addition, a method of stable preservation of produced capsinoid by purifying the obtained capsinoid under stable conditions is provided. A fatty acid represented by the formula (1) and a hydroxymethylphenol represented by the formula (2) are condensed without solvent or in a low-polar solvent, using an enzyme as a catalyst to give an ester compound represented by the formula (3). In addition, a fatty acid represented by the formula (4) is added to the ester compound represented by the formula (3) for stabilization. wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification.
Do enzymes recognise remotely located stereocentres? Highly enantioselective Candida rugosa lipase-catalysed esterification of the 2- to 8-methyldecanoic acids

Several racemic methyl decanoic acids have been synthesised and successfully resolved in esterification with 1-hexadecanol at aw=0.8 in cyclohexane using immobilised Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) as the catalyst. The enantiomeric ratios (E=2.8-68) obtained were surprisingly high even when the methyl group was as remotely located as in 8-methyldecanoic acid (E=25). Interestingly, the lipase shows enantiopreference for the S-enantiomer when the methyl group is located on even numbered carbons i.e. for the 2-,4-,6- and 8-methyldecanoic acids and to the R-enantiomer when the methyl group is located on uneven numbered carbons i.e. for the 3-,5- and 7-methyldecanoic acids.
