The structure of the unusual anthelmintic pyrrolobenzoxazine terpenoid natural product CJ-12662 was established by X-ray crystallography and partial synthesis from 2-chloronitrobenzene. An unusual Meisenheimer-type rearrangement was used to provide the core pyrrolobenzoxazine heterocycle, and coupling of a tetracyclic pyrrolobenzoxazine lactone with the terpene alcohol was used to complete the synthesis of CJ-12662.

The fungal natural product CJ-12662 is a structurally complex terpene-amino acid hybrid, and is a potent anthelmintic compound. The biosynthetic pathway of CJ-12662 is elucidated based on metabolite analysis from heterologous expression. We demonstrate the terpene portion is derived from successive P450-catalyzed oxidations of amorpha-4,11-diene, while three flavin-dependent enzymes are involved in morphing the esterified tryptophan into a chlorinated pyrrolobenzoxazine, utilizing a cascaded [1,2]-Meisenheimer rearrangement.

A novel nematicidal antibiotic, paeciloxazine has been isolated from the culture broth of a fungus Paecilomyces BAUA3058 strain. This compound, whose structure was determined by spectroscopic methods, has a pyrrolobenzoxazine skeleton. Paeciloxazine has moderate cidal activity against Rhabditis pseudoelongata and is weakly active against some insects.
