[reaction: see text] A general method for the synthesis of benz[a]anthraquinones is reported. The key step is a catalytic cobalt-mediated [2+2+2]-cycloaddition of a triyne, which affords an angularly substituted tetracycle. Oxidation of this core gives the typical structure of angucyclinone antibiotics.

Six new angucycline structures, including spirocyclione A (), which contains an unusual oxaspiro[5.5]undecane architecture, and its ring-A-cleaved product spirocyclione B (), were discovered by heterologous expression of a type II polyketide biosynthetic gene cluster captured from a marine actinomycete strain sp. HDN155000.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers discovered that activating specific gene clusters (BGCs) in streptomycetes can lead to the production of new compounds, revealing many silent biosynthetic potential.* -
- The study identified that two related genes, ovmZ and ovmW, are crucial for activating these silent BGCs, allowing the production of compounds like gephyromycin A when both genes are overexpressed in Streptomyces neyagawaensis.* -
- The findings suggest that co-overexpression of ovmZ and ovmW could be a promising method for stimulating the production of secondary metabolites across various actinobacteria.*
