The emerging global epidemic of drug-resistant tuberculosis has created an urgent need to identify novel therapeutic approaches for disease treatment. Transvalencin Z (1) is a natural product fromNocardia transvalensiswith relatively potent and selective antimycobacterial activity againstMycobacterium smegmatis, making it an attractive target for structure–activity and mechanism of action studies. The total synthesis of the four possible diastereomers of transvalencin Z was completed (1a–d), and the absolute configurations were defined using chemical synthesis, HPLC retention times, and optical rotation measurements. Surprisingly, none of the transvalencin Z diastereomers exhibited any inhibitory activity against a panel of microbial pathogens, including several species of mycobacteria.
