Solution-phase syntheses of three bioactive natural products of mixed polypeptide-polyketide biogenesis, fellutamides A, B, and C, have been achieved. Three peptide bonds are generated without the use of coupling reagents in each synthesis of the fellutamides, which act against proteasomes.

Unlabelled: Secondary metabolites (SMs) are biologically active small molecules, many of which are medically valuable. Fungal genomes contain vast numbers of SM biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) with unknown products, suggesting that huge numbers of valuable SMs remain to be discovered. It is challenging, however, to identify SM BGCs, among the millions present in fungi, that produce useful compounds.

The antifungal echinocandin lipopeptide, acrophiarin, was circumscribed in a patent in 1979. We confirmed that the producing strain NRRL 8095 is Penicillium arenicola and other strains of P. arenicola produced acrophiarin and acrophiarin analogues.

is an industrially important fungus for the production of the antifungal echinocandin B and is closely related to model organism . Its secondary metabolism is largely unknown except for the production of echinocandin B and sterigmatocystin. We constructed mutants for three genes that regulate secondary metabolism in NRRL 11440, and evaluated the secondary metabolites produced by wild type and mutants strains.

Fungal secondary metabolites are a rich source of valuable natural products, and genome sequencing has revealed a proliferation of predicted biosynthetic gene clusters in the genomes. However, it is currently an unfeasible task to characterize all biosynthetic gene clusters and to identify possible uses of the compounds. Therefore, a rational approach is needed to identify a short list of gene clusters responsible for producing valuable compounds.

Fellutamide B is reported to have cytotoxic and proteasome inhibitory activity. Interestingly, fellutamide B and its simplified analogues have also been observed for the neurotrophic activity by stimulating the synthesis and secretion of neurotrophins. Owing to the interesting structural and potent neurotrophic role of fellutamide B (a lipopeptide aldehyde), we have assessed the synthetic path intermediates (compounds A-D) of fellutamide B for their neuroactive potential (in vitro and in vivo).
