A diverted total synthesis of mycolactone analogues: an insight into Buruli ulcer toxins.
    Chemistry (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 2011, Dec-16, Volume: 17, Issue:51

    Mycolactones are complex macrolides responsible for a severe necrotizing skin disease called Buruli ulcer. Deciphering their functional interactions is of fundamental importance for the understanding, and ultimately, the control of this devastating mycobacterial infection. We report herein a diverted total synthesis approach of mycolactones analogues and provide the first insights into their structure-activity relationship based on cytopathic assays on L929 fibroblasts. The lowest concentration inducing a cytopathic effect was determined for selected analogues, allowing a clear picture to emerge by comparison with the natural toxins.
