Streptolydigin is a highly potent, broad-spectrum antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lydicus, which inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase. We describe the first synthesis of streptolydigin, which was assembled in a highly convergent and fully stereocontrolled fashion with a longest linear sequence of 24 steps starting from commercially available precursors. The assembly process entailed preparation of fully elaborated streptolic and ydiginic subunits of the natural product, followed by a highly efficient union in a three-step one-pot procedure, which included Dieckmann cyclization with a concomitant imide opening, Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination, and desilylation.

Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic streptolydigin (Stl) inhibits bacterial transcription by blocking RNA polymerase's active center, causing long pauses in transcription while not affecting average speed.
- Stl enhances brief pauses that lead to early stalled states in the transcription process, and surprisingly, factors GreA and GreB increase, rather than reduce, Stl's pausing effects.
- The study proposes a structural model of the transcription complex that provides insights into Stl's mechanism and suggests new ways to discover potential antibacterial agents.

The asymmetric total syntheses of tirandamycins A-D and tirandalydigin as well as the synthesis of the left-hand fragment of streptolydiginone and streptolydigin from a common intermediate are described. The comprehensive approach features the highly enantio- and diastereoselective assembly of the anti,anti,syn-stereotetrad unit which relies on a cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed asymmetric Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction.

Bioinformatic analyses indicate that TrdC, SlgL, LipX2, KirHI, and FacHI belong to a group of highly homologous proteins involved in biosynthesis of actinomycete-derived tirandamycin B, streptolydigin, α-lipomycin, kirromycin, and factumycin, respectively. However, assignment of their biosynthetic roles has remained elusive. Gene inactivation and complementation, in vitro biochemical assays with synthetic analogues, point mutations, and phylogenetic tree analyses reveal that these proteins represent a new family of Dieckmann cyclases that drive tetramic acid and pyridone scaffold biosynthesis.

Inspired by the core fragment of antibacterial natural products such as streptolydigin, 3-acyltetramic acids and 3-acylpiperidine-2,4-diones have been synthesised from the core heterocycle by direct acylation with the substituted carboxylic acids using a strategy which permits ready access to a structurally diverse compound library. The antibacterial activity of these systems has been established against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with activity mostly against the former, which in some cases is very potent. Data consistent with modes of action against undecaprenylpyrophosphate synthase (UPPS) and/or RNA polymerase (RNAP) for a small subset of the library has been obtained.
