Synthesis of Saccharocin from Apramycin and Evaluation of its Ribosomal Selectivity
2019
We describe a straightforward synthesis of the apramycin biosynthetic precursor saccharocin from apramycin by regioselective partial azidation followed by stereoretentive oxidative deamination. Saccharocin was found to exhibit excellent selectivity for inhibition of the bacterial ribosome over the eukaryotic ribosomes indicating that its presence as a minor impurity in apramycin itself should not be problematic in the development of the latter as a clinical candidate.
