Studies on the biosynthesis of phomoidride B (CP-263,114): evidence for a decarboxylative homodimerization pathway. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • [reaction: see text]. Feeding experiments using a deuterium labeled C16 maleic anhydride and whole cell culture of ATCC 74256 led to the isolation of phomoidride B with deuterium incorporation at C(7) and C(19) as determined by 2H NMR and electrospray mass spectrometry. This result is in accord with a decarboxylative homodimerization of the C16 maleic anhydride as a key biosynthetic step leading to phomoidride B.
