Enzymes involved in peptidoglycan cell wall biosynthesis are proven targets for antibacterial drugs that have revolutionized medicine.[1] Remarkably, however, the majority of the enzymes involved in peptidoglycan biosynthesis have yet to be exploited in the clinic.[2] Bacterial translocaseI (also annotated as MraY), which initiates the lipid cycle of peptidoglycan cell wall biosynthesis by transfer of phospho-N-acetylmuramic acid-pentapeptide from UDP-N-acetylmuramic acid-pentapeptide to undecaprenyl phosphate, represents one such enzyme for which there are no marketed antibiotic drugs.[3] Given the emergence and re-emergence of drug-resistance pathogens,[4] the essential nature of peptidoglycan in the viability of bacteria, and the lack of a bacterial translocase I activity in mammals, MraY is an attractive target for the design and development of new antibiotics.Recent efforts in several laboratories have revealed that several structurally diverse natural products potently inhibit bacterial translocase I.[3] This includes several families of nucleoside antibiotics that have unique chemical scaffolds relative to clinically used antibiotics. The liposidomycins belong to one such family of nucleoside antibiotics called fatty acyl nucleosides that also includes the caprazamycins isolated from Streptomyces sp. MK730-62F2.[5] The liposidomycins, the structure of which was initially reported in 1988,[6] are characterized by four moieties, a 5’-C-glycyluridine, a 2’-sulfated aminoribose, a diazepanone, and a β-hydroxy fatty acid moiety of variable carbon chain length modified with an unusual 3-methylglutaryl group at the β-position. Caprazamycins, in contrast to liposidomycins, contain an additional permethylated rhamnose and lack the 2’-O-sulfate moiety.[5] During screening for new compounds that inhibit bacterial translocase I, we isolated a series of related compounds from Streptomyces sp. SANK 60405 termed A-90289s that had prop-
