Jadomycin B, an antifungal antibiotic with a unique 8H-benz[b]oxazolo[3,2-f]phenanthridine pentacyclic skeleton produced by the bacteriumStreptomyces venezuelaeISP 5230, exists in a dynamic equilibrium of two diastereomers differing in the configuration of C-3a. Several novel jadomycins with various amino acid-derived1-side chains could be generated, by replacing isoleucine in the production medium ofS. venezuelaewith other amino acids. These two findings led to the conclusion that a nonenzymatic reaction with the amino acid followed by a likewise nonenzymatic cyclization cascade are crucial for its late biosynthesis.
