Lantibiotics are a class of peptide antibiotics with activity against most Gram-positive bacteria. Lanthionine (Lan) and β-MeLan are unusual thioether-bridged, non-proteinogenic amino acids, which are characteristic features of lantibiotics. In this paper, we report the facile stereoselective synthesis of β-methyllanthionines with orthogonal protection by nucleophilic ring opening of aziridines. This method leads to an expedient access to β-methyllanthionines and allows production of over 30 g of β-methyllanthionine in a single batch.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Lantibiotics are a class of lanthionine (and/or β-methyllanthionine)-containing peptides with antibioitic activity against Gram-positive bacteria. As part of our research effort directed toward the synthesis and mechanistic s

Fmoc-(2R,3S)-3-methyl-Se-phenylselenocysteine was used for the synthesis of dehydrobutyrine (Dhb)-containing peptides. Biomimetic cyclization via Michael addition of Cys to a Dhb yielded the B-ring of the lantibiotic subtilin as a single diastereomer. The methyllanthionine product was shown to have the natural configuration by preparation of the authentic stereoisomer. The formation of a single isomer suggests that the prepeptide has a strong intrinsic preference for the stereochemistry observed in lantibiotics. [reaction: see text]
