Rugulactone is a dihydro‐α‐pyrone isolated from the plantCryptocarya rugulosain 2009. It has been reported to display IkB kinase (IKK) inhibitory activity, as well as antibiotic activity in several strains of pathogenic bacteria. However, its biological targets and mode of action in bacteria have not yet been explored. Here we present enantioselective syntheses of rugulactone and of some corresponding activity‐based protein profiling (ABPP) probes. We found that the ABPP probes in this study are more potent than rugulactone againstStaphyloccocus aureusNCTC 8325,S. aureusMu50,Listeria welshimeriSLCC 5334 andListeria monocytogenesEGD‐e, and that molecules of this class probably exert their antibacterial effect through a combination of targets. These targets include covalent inhibition of 4‐amino‐5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐methylpyrimidine phosphate (HMPP) kinase (ThiD), which is an essential component of the thiamine biosynthesis pathway in bacteria. This represents the first example of a small‐molecule inhibitor of ThiD.
