Selenium heterocycles (eg, selenazofurin) have a number of potential applications in medicinal chemistry; although isosteric with sulfur and oxygen, they have different chemical properties. As a route to exploring biological properties, this substitution is a valuable addition to the chemist’s arsenal. The chemical synthesis of selenazolines and selenazoles involves the use of stoichiometric quantities of toxic selenium-containing precursors. However, we have incorporated selenocysteine into a substrate ribosomal peptide by feeding dilute solutions of selenocysteine to E. coli. We demonstrate that the dehydrating heterocyclases from the patellamide and the closely related trunkamide biosynthetic pathways process selenocysteine-containing substrate to yield selenazoline, thus establishing an enzymatic route to selenazolines. Such groups can also be incorporated into macrocyclic peptides. Although this remains unknown, it is possible that nature itself could utilise the same enzymes to produce selenium variants of natural products. 1, 3-Selenazoles are intriguing structural motifs in medicinal chemistry [1] as they serve as analogues of the corresponding thiazoles; arguably the best-known examples are the synthetic compounds selenazofurin [2](1) and amselamine [3](2; Scheme 1). Zhang et al.[4] recently reported the chemical synthesis of selenazole-containing cyclic peptides (eg, 3) and their application in X-ray diffraction studies of P-glycoprotein. 1, 3-Selenazolines [1a] have also received attention in recent years,[5] for example, Withers et al.[5a] have reported the synthesis of a GlcNAc-derived 1, 3-selenazole that was evaluated as a potential O-GlcNAcase inhibitor. Most synthetic routes to 1, 3-selenazoles are based on the Hantzsch synthesis,[1a, 5c, 6] although other methods have been investigated.[7] Cyanobactins are a family of ribosomally derived cyclic peptides containing six to 20 amino acids, they are produced from a larger precursor peptide and contain extensive chemical modifications including heterocycles, D-stereocentres and disulfide bonds. They are potent biological scaffolds that can cross cell membranes and are resistant to enzymatic degradation.[8] Patellamides are members of the cyanobactin family that are produced by Prochloron didemni, an obligate symbiont of the sea squirt Lissoclinum patella found in Pacific reefs.[9] The biosynthetic pathway involves the ATP-dependent heterocyclase PatD, protease PatA and oxidase/macrocyclase PatG, which convert the ribosomal precursor peptide PatE into the final macrocycle (Scheme 2). Patellamides and variants can be
