Since its invention by Rinehart and Gottlieb,[1] mutational biosynthesis (“mutasynthesis”[2]) has become a useful tool in the portfolio of the synthetic natural product chemist [3] for the preparation of complex natural product derivatives with pharmaceutical potential.[4] Mutasynthesis requires the generation of mutants of a producer organism that are blocked in the formation of a biosynthetic building block of the end-product. Administration of mutasynthons to the blocked mutant results in new metabolites.[5] A natural product suitable for mutasynthetic investigations is geldanamycin (1, Scheme 1), a potential antitumor drug [6] that binds to the N-terminal ATP-binding domain of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and inhibits its ATP-dependent chaperone activities.[7] Most geldanamycin derivatives reported to date are 17-aminated compounds and were obtained by semisynthesis.[8] Recently, two groups have utilized blocked mutants of the microbial source of geldanamycin to prepare several new derivatives.[9–11] Benzoquinone-containing Hsp90 inhibitors depend on reductive activation to the hydroquinone by the enzyme NAD (P) H/quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1).[12–15] As the activity of this enzyme in different patients is variable, derivatives that show binding to the ATP binding pocket of Hsp90 without the need for activation by NQO1 are highly desirable. Additionally, the quinone moiety of geldanamycin is held responsible for undesired side effects (for example, hepatotoxicity). The Michael addition of the thiol moiety of glutathione to the quinone is regarded as one source of problems.[16] Related to geldanamycin 1 is reblastatin 2, which is saturated across C4–C5 and has a benzene chromophore instead of a benzoquinone or a hydroquinone moiety.[17] Importantly, reblastatin shows lower cytotoxicity than geldanamycin but has a higher affinity for Hsp90.[17]
