Fusaric acid (FA) is a well-known mycotoxin that plays an important role in plant pathology. The biosynthetic gene cluster for FA has been identified, but the biosynthetic pathway remains unclarified. Here, we elucidated the biosynthesis of FA, which features a two-enzyme catalytic cascade, a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme (Fub7), and a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent oxidase (Fub9) in synthesizing the picolinic acid scaffold. FA biosynthesis also involves an off-line collaboration between a highly reducing polyketide synthase (HRPKS, Fub1) and a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-like carboxylic acid reductase (Fub8) in making an aliphatic α,β-unsaturated aldehyde. By harnessing the stereoselective C-C bond-forming activity of Fub7, we established a chemoenzymatic route for stereoconvergent synthesis of a series of 5-alkyl-, 5,5-dialkyl-, and 5,5,6-trialkyl-l-pipecolic acids of high diastereomeric ratio.

A facile, transition-metal-free, and direct decarboxylative arylation of 2-picolinic acids with simple arenes is described. The oxidative decarboxylative arylation of 2-picolinic acids with arenes proceeds readily via N-chloro carbene intermediates to afford 2-arylpyridines in satisfactory to good yields under transition-metal-free conditions. This new type of decarboxylative arylation is operationally simple and scalable and exhibits high functional-group tolerance. Various synthetically useful functional groups, such as halogen atoms, methoxycarbonyl, and nitro, remain intact during the decarboxylative arylation of 2-picolinic acids.

Taking advantage of microwave-assisted synthesis, efficient and expedite procedures for preparation of a library of fusaric acid and 39 analogues are reported. The fusaric acid analogues were tested in cell-based screening assays for inhibition of the las and rhl quorum sensing system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the lux quorum sensing system in Vibrio fischeri. Eight of the 40 compounds in the library including fusaric acid inhibited lux quorum sensing and one compound inhibited activity of the las quorum sensing system. To our delight, none of the compounds showed growth inhibitory effects in the tested concentration ranges.
