Modification of the ring nucleus of tetramic acids derived from serine gives chiral heterocyclic libraries that exhibit antibacterial activity, and correlation with various physicochemical parameters indicates that chiral tetramic acids may provide a potentially valuable non-aromatic skeleton for fragment-based drug discovery.

The growing problem of herbicide resistance necessitates the development of novel herbicidal active ingredients, together with other integrated weed management approaches. Natural products are a major source of inspiration for novel actives. In previous research, we identified a 3-acyltetramic acid of microbial origin that inhibited algal growth in marine biofilms, at least in part through inhibition of photosystem II.

Biofilms represent a key challenge in the treatment of microbial infections; for instance, causes chronic or fatal infections by forming biofilms on medical devices. Herein, the fungus was found to produce a novel family of PKS-NRPS metabolites that are able to disrupt preformed biofilms of . Arcopilins A-F (-), tetramic acids, and arcopilin G (), a 2-pyridone, were elucidated using HR-ESI-MS and one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

The development of tuberculosis (TB) therapy has been marked by the discovery of natural-product-derived streptomycin, followed by the introduction of NP-derived rifampicin, representing a significant milestone in the history of TB management. However, TB remains a global challenge, with the emergence of multidrug-resistant highlighting the need for novel therapeutic agents. In this study, a bioinformatic approach was employed to investigate d-amino acid-activating adenylation domains, leading to the identification of cordysetin A (), a novel -decalin tetramic acid antibiotic from the ascomycete fungi .

Covering: up to December 2023Decalin-containing tetramic acid derivatives, especially 3-decalinoyltetramic acids (3-DTAs), are commonly found as fungal secondary metabolites. Numerous biological activities of this class of compounds, such as antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal, antiplasmodial, and antiprotozoal properties, have been the subject of ongoing research. For this reason, these molecules have attracted a lot of interest from the scientific community and various efforts including semi-synthesis, co-culturing with bacteria and biosynthetic gene sequencing have been made to obtain more derivatives.
