In structural terms, the polyketides are a diverse class of natural metabolites characterized by a broad range of biological activities. Indeed, polyketide antibiotics, antifungals, cytostatics, antiparasitics and natural insecticides are currently widely used on a commercial basis. Biosynthetically, the polyketides are derived by iterative condensations of acetyl and propionyl subunits, giving rise to diverse assemblies of methyl-and hydroxyl-bearing stereogenic centers that enable large numbers of stereochemical permutations. Unfortunately, this diversity–together with a high degree of spectral complexity and conformational flexibility–causes the stereochemical assignment of polyketides to become a major challenge. The myxobacteria are a particularly rich source of novel polyketides [1, 2], and over the past three decades–based on the results of pioneering investigations conducted by the groups of Professors Höfle and Reichenbach at the Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung (Center for Infection Research in Braunschweig, HZI)–an impressive range of structurally unique and biosynthetically diverse polyketides has been isolated from these soil-living organisms. In total, these materials span a range of approximately 60 structurally new polyketide classes, and many structural variants thereof. Most prominently, the epothilones are natural antiproliferative agents from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum (Figure 24.1), that have been developed and approved as anticancer drugs for the treatment of metastatic and advanced breast cancer. Extensive biological studies, as well as computational and NMR-based analyses of these microtubule-stabilizing agents, have been reported for these metabolites, and detailed processes for their fermentative and synthetic production have subsequently been developed [3].In contrast to the macrolides, many other polyketides are much less advanced in their development, despite having similarly promising biological profiles that include antiproliferative, antibiotic, antifungal, or antiplasmodial activities. Likewise, in many cases targets are specifically addressed on a molecular level, ranging from the cytoskeleton, nucleic acid polymerases, the respiratory chain, nuclear transport,
