Mutasynthesis approaches to the preparation of streptorubin B analogues

Prodiginines are a large family of red-pigmented tripyrrole-based antibiotics. Their biosynthesis in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), by enzymes encoded in the red gene cluster, involves the condensation of 4-methoxy-2,2′-bipyrrole-5- carboxaldehyde (MBC) and 2-undecylpyrrole, catalysed by the RedH en...
