  • Title: Metabolites of a blocked chloramphenicol producer.
    Author: Lewis EA, Adamek TL, Vining LC, White RL.
    Journal: J Nat Prod; 2003 Jan; 66(1):62-6. PubMed ID: 12542347.
    Abstract:
    Addition of p-aminophenylalanine (4), an advanced biosynthetic precursor of the antibiotic chloramphenicol (5), to a Streptomyces venezuelae pabAB mutant (VS629) restored chloramphenicol production and led to formation of the non-chlorinated analogue corynecin II (6) and four acetanilide derivatives: p-(acetylamino)phenylalanine (7), p-(acetylamino)benzyl alcohol (13), p-(acetylamino)benzoic acid (14), and p-(acetylamino)phenol (acetaminophen, 16). Metabolite structures were deduced from NMR and MS-MS data and established by chromatographic and spectroscopic comparisons with authentic samples. Reference compound 13 was synthesized by reducing the acid chloride of 14. Shunt pathways are proposed to account for the formation of the metabolites from p-aminophenylalanine.
