Abstract excerpt
Angucyclines are a structurally diverse class of actinobacterial natural products defined by their varied polycyclic ring systems, which display a wide range of biological activities. We recently discovered lugdunomycin (1), a highly rearranged polyketide antibiotic derived from the angucycline backbone that is synthesized via several yet unexplained enzymatic reactions. Here, we show via in vivo, in vitro, and...
