The number of known antibiotics with the benzo [a]-naphthacenequinone skeleton has grown to more than 20 compounds. The most simple representatives G-2N and G-2A1 and also derivatives of madurahydroxylactone2 have antibacterial properties. The structurally more complex O-glycosidic pradimicins3-5 [eg, pradimicin A (1), Scheme 1] and benanomicins6-8 show remarkable in vivo antifungal activity. 9-14 Mycoses (eg, by Pneumotis carnii) represent severe problems in current therapy of immunodeficient patients, and there is an urgent need for new antimycotic agents. 15 Benanomicins A and B also inhibit infection of T-cells with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syncytium formation by HIV. 11 At least part of the pradimicins’ anticandidal effect is attributed to calcium binding of pradimicin A16-18 and a specific binding of the sugar residues with the cell surface of fungi and viruses. 19 The biological activity depends on the presence of the short peptide chain and the glycosidic sugars at 5-OH as shown in the formula of pradimicin A.Recently, an elegant synthesis of the common pradimicin/benanomicin aglycon was described by Suzuki et al. 20 The synthesis was based on an intramolecular Heck reaction to construct the AC biaryl bond and a samarium iodide-mediated pinacol coupling for the introduction of the two hydroxyl groups at C-5 and C-6. Previously, Diels-Alder approaches aimed at the related 5, 6-dideoxy compounds failed to introduce the phenolic group at C-14. 21, 22
