Biosynthesis of the polyketide polyether antibiotic ICI 139603 in Streptomyces longisporoflavus from 18O-labelled acetate and propionate

Abstract

The polyether antibiotic ICI 139603 retains oxygen from acetate at C-1 and C-17, and from propionate at C-3 and C-21, after incorporation of [1-13C,1-18O2]acetate and [1-13C,1-18O2]propionate, and on this basis the tetrahydropyran and cyclohexane rings may be formed concertedly in a novel biosynthetic cyclisation.
