Emerging resistance to existing antibiotics is an inevitable matter of concern in the treatment of bacterial infection Naturallyoccurring unique class of natural antibiotic platensimycin a secondary metabolite from Streptomyces platensis is an excellentbreakthrough in recent antibiotic research with unique structural pattern and significant antibacterial activity 120573-Ketoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein (ACP)) synthase (FabF) whose Gram-positive bacteria need to biosynthesize cell membranes is the target ofinhibition of platensimycin So isolation retrosynthetic analysis synthesis of platensimycin and analogues of platensimycinsynthesized till today are the objectives of this review which may be helpful to further investigate and to reveal untouched areaon this molecule and to obtain a potential antibacterial lead with enhanced significant antibacterial activity
1 Introduction
Themajority of the ldquoillnessrdquo lies in the fact that when immunesystem is defeated it is in war with pathogens Developmentstarting from ethnic to modern synthetic approaches in drugdiscoverymainly provides better weapons to combat and sur-vive against pathogens In contrast to medical developmentpathogens also have acquired protection called ldquoresistancerdquoMore or less all classes of antibiotics are resistant to bacteriahence a novel process to the discovery of antibiotic with newmechanism of action is essential [1 2] Microbial and chemi-cal groups at Merck in the year 2006 have found three novelchemical classes using antisense technology from their oldermicrobial screening library [3] Two compounds platen-simycin and platencin were found as potent inhibitors of fattyacid biosynthesis Platensimycin selectively inhibits fatty acidacyl carrier protein synthase II (FabF) Platensin is a balanceddual inhibitor of both FabF and FabH (fatty acid acyl carrierprotein synthase III) [4] The third compound lucensimycinA was found to inhibit ribosomal protein synthesis FabF isone of the enzymes which catalyze the biosynthesis of fattyacids in bacteria It makes FabF an essential target for inhibit-ing bacterial growth in resistant bacteria Previously twoclasses of inhibitor cerulenin [5] and thiolactomycin [6ndash8]were reported but inhibitory activity was poor (IC
50ranges
within 13ndash13120583gmL) with poor antimicrobial activity (Strep-tococcus aurous MICmdash64 120583gmL) [9] On the other handplatensimycin had shown selective FabF inhibitory activityon S aurous and E coli with IC
50value of 48 nM and 68 nM
[3] The ability of this class of compounds to bind and inhibitFabF enzyme has given a new class of antibiotics Amongthem platensimycin and platencin are most promising andneed further investigation There might be an argument thatif fatty acid synthesis is an attractive target for antibacterialswhy there have notmany drugs or natural inhibitors targetingthis pathway been isolated One of the reasons may bethat the Streptomyces and related Actinomyces the organismsthat have delivered most of the existing antibiotics areconstrained in their ability to produce fatty acid synthesisinhibitors by the adjacent relationship between the syntheticpathways of fatty acids and polyketides These pathwaysshare many chemical mechanistic and structural featuresand thus fatty acid synthesis inhibitors recurrently inhibitpolyketide synthesis (eg cerulenin is a powerful inhibitorof polyketide synthesis) An organism producing a fatty acidsynthesis inhibitor must retain not only a resistant form ofthe fatty acid synthetic enzyme but also a resistant form ofthe antibiotic-producing polyketide synthase Furthermoreif several polyketides are needed for survival of the organismin its ecological niche then resistant forms of each of these

pathways would be prerequisite Such precincts seem likelyto severely narrow the opportunities to evolve fatty acidsynthesis inhibitors and may account for the scarcenessof such antibiotics However various Streptomyces produceanalogues of thiolactomycin which has not been reportedto block polyketide synthesis thus demonstrating that devel-opment of fatty acid synthesis inhibitors by this organism isconceivable [10]
2 Isolation of Platensimycin
Platensimycin was isolated by Wang et al in 2006 at con-centration of 2 to 4mgL from fermentation broth of Splatensis (MA7327 and MA7331) using SephadexLH20 liquidchromatography medium by reversed-phase HPLC chro-matography [3] In a subsequent study three-step isolationwas modified by Singh et al and they established two-stepmethod eliminating the SephadexLH20 step [11] It was alsoisolated from Streptomyces platensis (MA7327) recoveredfrom soil samples collected in Eastern Cape South Africa[12]
3 Structure of Platensimycin
Platensimycin (Figure 1) consists of a benzoic acid moietysubstituted at ortho and para with hydroxyl group andin meta position is conjugated with a unique pentacyclicketolide by an amide linkage [13] The structure was estab-lished by combination ofDQ-COSY andTOCSY correlations(2DNMR) UV and IR spectroscopy and confirmed by X-raycrystallography [14]
4 Synthesis of Platensimycin
Platensimycin consists of an aromatic acid conjugated withaliphatic moiety by an amide linkage The effective syntheticstrategy is to synthesize the aromatic and aliphatic partsseparately and then combine them by amide linkage Manysynthetic methods are available for the synthesis of those twobuilding blocks
41 First Total Synthesis of Platensimycin Nicolaou et al inthe year 2006 first reported the total synthesis of platen-simycin [26]
411 Retrosynthetic Analysis of Platensimycin Using ret-rosynthetic analysis (Scheme 1) they separated the aromaticamine 2 and the carboxylic acid 3 by disconnection of amidelinkage The carboxylic acid was further simplified to asimplified enyne in successive three retrosynthetic stepsThisresulted in two target molecules to synthesize the tetracycliccarboxylic acid and the aromatic amine from simplifiedstarting material
412 Synthesis of Tetracyclic Cage The simplified enonegenerated from 3-ethoxycyclohex-2-enone which was usedas a starting material (Scheme 2) Allylic bromide 9 [27](LDA 92) and propargyl bromide (LDA 97) were used asreagents of choice to generate the bis-alkylated enone 10 from8 Reduction followed by acidic hydrolysis and reintroduc-tion of the TBS ether produced enone 11 from enone 10 (yield84) Spirocycle 12was generated by cycloisomerization of 11[28 29] Oxidation of 12 produced bis-enone 13 [30] whichupon acid hydrolysis gave desired aldehyde 6 Secondaryalcohol 14was prepared by addition of samarium(II) iodide ina dilute solution of aldehyde 6 HFIP in THFHMPA followedby NH
4Cl solution Esterification of 14 with TEA resulted
in the formation of cage-like structure 4 which on treatmentwith KHMDS and MeI followed by KHMDS and allyl iodideproduced olefin 16 Vinyl pinacol boronate and 16 reacted inpresence of the Grubbs second generation catalyst to producevinyl boronate 19 which on reacting with trimethylamine N-oxide gave 20 Following Pinnick protocol 20 was convertedto desired carboxylic acid 3
413 Synthesis of Aromatic Amine The synthesis of thearomatic amine 2 was started from 2-nitroresorcinol 21 byprotectingwithMOMether followed by catalytic hydrogena-tion 24 was formed (Scheme 3) Again protecting the aminogroup and followed by silylation lithiation and quenchingwith methyl cyanoformate 24 was carboxylated and byunprotecting amino group using thermolysis desired aniline2 was synthesized
414 Synthesis of Platensimycin Core The total synthesis ofplatensimycin was completed by the coupling of carboxylicacid 3 with aniline 2 which was achieved by treatment withHATU followed by hydrolysis with LiOH (Scheme 3)
42 Another Approach for Synthesizing Tetracyclic Cage byNicolaou et al After successfully reporting the first totalsynthetic strategy of platensimycin Nicolaou et al [31] reporta new synthetic strategy that starts from the readily availableand inexpensive (R)-(minus)-carvone to the tetracyclic enone 2
421 Retrosynthetic Strategy of Tetracyclic Enone A five-step retrosynthetic disconnection approach was shown togenerate commercially available (R)-(minus)-carvone 31 from 26(Scheme 4)
422 Synthesis of Tetracyclic Enone (R)-(minus)-carvone 31 onreaction with Grignardrsquos reagent 32 using CeCl
3[32] and by
oxidizing with PCC gave the corresponding enone 33 Enone

43 Matsuorsquos Synthesis of Tetracyclic Cage
431 Retrosynthetic Analysis of Tetracyclic Cage Matsuo etal [33] offered another route for stereocontrolled synthesisof tetracyclic enone 4 They expected that the transannularradical cyclization of 44 will produce enone 4 A four-stepretrosynthetic analysis is producing enone 47 and siloxydiene48 The key feature of plan is that all stereocenters in4 are controlled by the stereochemistry presented in 47(Scheme 6)
432 Synthesis of Tetracyclic Cage O-TBS and O-benzoyl-protected enones 47a and 47b were prepared from 13-cyclohexadiene 49 through allylboration selective oxidation
and utilizing the Dess-Martin oxidation with the yield of(97) Diels-Alder reaction in between 47a and 47b andsiloxydienes produced two stereogenic mixtures 46a 46band 46c 46d The mixture of two inseparable diastereomers(46b and 46d) was employed in the next step FollowingNoyorirsquos procedure [26] followed by hydrolysis of the benzoylgroup and separation of diastereomers 53 was given whichupon catalytic oxidation using palladium(II) chloride andcopper(II) acetate produced 54a and 54b in 10 1 ratio Vinyltriflate 55 was produced from 54 and reduced to 56 whichwas transformed to 57 Transannular radical cyclization ofmonothioacetal 57 gave desired 4 (Scheme 7)
44 Kaliappanrsquos Synthesis of Tetracyclic Cage
441 Retrosynthetic Analysis of Tetracyclic Cage Kaliappanand Ravikumar [34] showed seven-step retrosynthetic anal-ysis using a 5-exo-trig radical cyclization strategy [35 36] togenerate Wieland-Miescher ketone 64 (Scheme 8)
442 Synthesis of Tetracyclic Cage Synthesis was startedfrom Wieland-Miescher ketone 64 [37] a chiral startingmaterial which on two-step reduction yielded an inseparablediastereomeric mixture of alcohols 66 [38] Corresponding

demands new antibacterial targets Fatty acid synthase (FAS)pathway is now an attractive target for antibacterial agentsbecause as a new target FAS inhibition will not suffer frombacterial resistance immediately and biosynthesis pathway ofbacteria plants and parasites (FAS II in which componentproteins are dissociated) is different frommammals (FAS I inwhich component proteins are generally single-chain mul-tidomain homodimers or two-chain heterodimers carryingall proteins of the pathway) in subcellular organization of
components which demonstrate a target specificity for theFAS II inhibitors A general scheme for type II fatty acidbiosynthesis is shown in Figure 2[9] A recent developmentin finding inhibitors of fatty acid biosynthesis is the discov-ery of platensimycin which shows broad-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity (Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and Enterococci (VRE) MIC lt 10 120583gmLminus1) by selectivelyinhibiting cellular lipid biosynthesis [58] The mechanismof action is the selective inhibition of elongation of FabF

(a condensing enzyme) in the bacterial fatty acid syntheticpathway by intercalating with the malonyl binding site ofthe catalytic triad of FabF acyl enzyme intermediate Inversecorrelation of FabF expression levels with the sensitivityof S aureus to the drug platensimycin confirms that FabFis the useful target for antibacterial action Platensimycinexhibited an IC
50of 48 nM and 160 nM against FabF in S
aureus and E coli respectively But the drug shows weakinhibition against FabHwith an IC
50value of 67mM Further
studies have shown that in vitro binding of platensimycinwith FabF is relatively weak which leads to the discoveryof its binding with acyl-thioester intermediate of the FabFpathway From a crystal structure of a Cys-163-Gln FabFmutant which simulates acyl-thioester intermediate it was
found that platensimycin bind with the active site of FabFwith the carboxylic acid group lying in the malonate-bindingsite coplanar with the amide side chain of Gln163 [59]
Though Brinster et al [60] explained an alternativehypothesis that FAS II inhibition is not a suitable target forStreptococcus agalactiae (lactobacillales) The need for syn-thesized fatty acid by their own (streptococci pneumococcienterococci and staphylococci) reduces in the presence ofexogenous fatty acid in both in vitro and in vivo conditionsHuman serum has a high composition of fatty acids so FASII inhibitor may not affect at all Gram-positive pathogens invivo But the findings with S agalactiae can be reasonablyextended to all Gram-positive bacteria which has starteda vigorous debate Also there is no clear explanation how

bacteria incorporates exogenous fatty acids into their cell[61 62] Platensimycin exhibited antibacterial activity againstefflux-negative Escherichia coli (tolC) but not against wild-type E coli specifying that efflux mechanisms and notcompound specificity limit the effectiveness of platensimycinin E coli and possibly other Gram-negative bacteria [3]
6 Platensimycin Analogues
The major drawback to most natural products includingplatensimycin is poor pharmacokinetic properties and neg-ligible oral bioavailability Only the continuous infusion ofa high platensimycin dose showed effectiveness in mice

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

pathways would be prerequisite Such precincts seem likelyto severely narrow the opportunities to evolve fatty acidsynthesis inhibitors and may account for the scarcenessof such antibiotics However various Streptomyces produceanalogues of thiolactomycin which has not been reportedto block polyketide synthesis thus demonstrating that devel-opment of fatty acid synthesis inhibitors by this organism isconceivable [10]
2 Isolation of Platensimycin
Platensimycin was isolated by Wang et al in 2006 at con-centration of 2 to 4mgL from fermentation broth of Splatensis (MA7327 and MA7331) using SephadexLH20 liquidchromatography medium by reversed-phase HPLC chro-matography [3] In a subsequent study three-step isolationwas modified by Singh et al and they established two-stepmethod eliminating the SephadexLH20 step [11] It was alsoisolated from Streptomyces platensis (MA7327) recoveredfrom soil samples collected in Eastern Cape South Africa[12]
3 Structure of Platensimycin
Platensimycin (Figure 1) consists of a benzoic acid moietysubstituted at ortho and para with hydroxyl group andin meta position is conjugated with a unique pentacyclicketolide by an amide linkage [13] The structure was estab-lished by combination ofDQ-COSY andTOCSY correlations(2DNMR) UV and IR spectroscopy and confirmed by X-raycrystallography [14]
4 Synthesis of Platensimycin
Platensimycin consists of an aromatic acid conjugated withaliphatic moiety by an amide linkage The effective syntheticstrategy is to synthesize the aromatic and aliphatic partsseparately and then combine them by amide linkage Manysynthetic methods are available for the synthesis of those twobuilding blocks
41 First Total Synthesis of Platensimycin Nicolaou et al inthe year 2006 first reported the total synthesis of platen-simycin [26]
411 Retrosynthetic Analysis of Platensimycin Using ret-rosynthetic analysis (Scheme 1) they separated the aromaticamine 2 and the carboxylic acid 3 by disconnection of amidelinkage The carboxylic acid was further simplified to asimplified enyne in successive three retrosynthetic stepsThisresulted in two target molecules to synthesize the tetracycliccarboxylic acid and the aromatic amine from simplifiedstarting material
412 Synthesis of Tetracyclic Cage The simplified enonegenerated from 3-ethoxycyclohex-2-enone which was usedas a starting material (Scheme 2) Allylic bromide 9 [27](LDA 92) and propargyl bromide (LDA 97) were used asreagents of choice to generate the bis-alkylated enone 10 from8 Reduction followed by acidic hydrolysis and reintroduc-tion of the TBS ether produced enone 11 from enone 10 (yield84) Spirocycle 12was generated by cycloisomerization of 11[28 29] Oxidation of 12 produced bis-enone 13 [30] whichupon acid hydrolysis gave desired aldehyde 6 Secondaryalcohol 14was prepared by addition of samarium(II) iodide ina dilute solution of aldehyde 6 HFIP in THFHMPA followedby NH
4Cl solution Esterification of 14 with TEA resulted
in the formation of cage-like structure 4 which on treatmentwith KHMDS and MeI followed by KHMDS and allyl iodideproduced olefin 16 Vinyl pinacol boronate and 16 reacted inpresence of the Grubbs second generation catalyst to producevinyl boronate 19 which on reacting with trimethylamine N-oxide gave 20 Following Pinnick protocol 20 was convertedto desired carboxylic acid 3
413 Synthesis of Aromatic Amine The synthesis of thearomatic amine 2 was started from 2-nitroresorcinol 21 byprotectingwithMOMether followed by catalytic hydrogena-tion 24 was formed (Scheme 3) Again protecting the aminogroup and followed by silylation lithiation and quenchingwith methyl cyanoformate 24 was carboxylated and byunprotecting amino group using thermolysis desired aniline2 was synthesized
414 Synthesis of Platensimycin Core The total synthesis ofplatensimycin was completed by the coupling of carboxylicacid 3 with aniline 2 which was achieved by treatment withHATU followed by hydrolysis with LiOH (Scheme 3)
42 Another Approach for Synthesizing Tetracyclic Cage byNicolaou et al After successfully reporting the first totalsynthetic strategy of platensimycin Nicolaou et al [31] reporta new synthetic strategy that starts from the readily availableand inexpensive (R)-(minus)-carvone to the tetracyclic enone 2

demands new antibacterial targets Fatty acid synthase (FAS)pathway is now an attractive target for antibacterial agentsbecause as a new target FAS inhibition will not suffer frombacterial resistance immediately and biosynthesis pathway ofbacteria plants and parasites (FAS II in which componentproteins are dissociated) is different frommammals (FAS I inwhich component proteins are generally single-chain mul-tidomain homodimers or two-chain heterodimers carryingall proteins of the pathway) in subcellular organization of
components which demonstrate a target specificity for theFAS II inhibitors A general scheme for type II fatty acidbiosynthesis is shown in Figure 2[9] A recent developmentin finding inhibitors of fatty acid biosynthesis is the discov-ery of platensimycin which shows broad-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity (Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and Enterococci (VRE) MIC lt 10 120583gmLminus1) by selectivelyinhibiting cellular lipid biosynthesis [58] The mechanismof action is the selective inhibition of elongation of FabF

Scheme 11 Retrosynthetic analysis of platensimycin
(a condensing enzyme) in the bacterial fatty acid syntheticpathway by intercalating with the malonyl binding site ofthe catalytic triad of FabF acyl enzyme intermediate Inversecorrelation of FabF expression levels with the sensitivityof S aureus to the drug platensimycin confirms that FabFis the useful target for antibacterial action Platensimycinexhibited an IC
50of 48 nM and 160 nM against FabF in S
aureus and E coli respectively But the drug shows weakinhibition against FabHwith an IC
50value of 67mM Further
studies have shown that in vitro binding of platensimycinwith FabF is relatively weak which leads to the discoveryof its binding with acyl-thioester intermediate of the FabFpathway From a crystal structure of a Cys-163-Gln FabFmutant which simulates acyl-thioester intermediate it was
found that platensimycin bind with the active site of FabFwith the carboxylic acid group lying in the malonate-bindingsite coplanar with the amide side chain of Gln163 [59]
Though Brinster et al [60] explained an alternativehypothesis that FAS II inhibition is not a suitable target forStreptococcus agalactiae (lactobacillales) The need for syn-thesized fatty acid by their own (streptococci pneumococcienterococci and staphylococci) reduces in the presence ofexogenous fatty acid in both in vitro and in vivo conditionsHuman serum has a high composition of fatty acids so FASII inhibitor may not affect at all Gram-positive pathogens invivo But the findings with S agalactiae can be reasonablyextended to all Gram-positive bacteria which has starteda vigorous debate Also there is no clear explanation how

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

demands new antibacterial targets Fatty acid synthase (FAS)pathway is now an attractive target for antibacterial agentsbecause as a new target FAS inhibition will not suffer frombacterial resistance immediately and biosynthesis pathway ofbacteria plants and parasites (FAS II in which componentproteins are dissociated) is different frommammals (FAS I inwhich component proteins are generally single-chain mul-tidomain homodimers or two-chain heterodimers carryingall proteins of the pathway) in subcellular organization of
components which demonstrate a target specificity for theFAS II inhibitors A general scheme for type II fatty acidbiosynthesis is shown in Figure 2[9] A recent developmentin finding inhibitors of fatty acid biosynthesis is the discov-ery of platensimycin which shows broad-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity (Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and Enterococci (VRE) MIC lt 10 120583gmLminus1) by selectivelyinhibiting cellular lipid biosynthesis [58] The mechanismof action is the selective inhibition of elongation of FabF

Scheme 11 Retrosynthetic analysis of platensimycin
(a condensing enzyme) in the bacterial fatty acid syntheticpathway by intercalating with the malonyl binding site ofthe catalytic triad of FabF acyl enzyme intermediate Inversecorrelation of FabF expression levels with the sensitivityof S aureus to the drug platensimycin confirms that FabFis the useful target for antibacterial action Platensimycinexhibited an IC
50of 48 nM and 160 nM against FabF in S
aureus and E coli respectively But the drug shows weakinhibition against FabHwith an IC
50value of 67mM Further
studies have shown that in vitro binding of platensimycinwith FabF is relatively weak which leads to the discoveryof its binding with acyl-thioester intermediate of the FabFpathway From a crystal structure of a Cys-163-Gln FabFmutant which simulates acyl-thioester intermediate it was
found that platensimycin bind with the active site of FabFwith the carboxylic acid group lying in the malonate-bindingsite coplanar with the amide side chain of Gln163 [59]
Though Brinster et al [60] explained an alternativehypothesis that FAS II inhibition is not a suitable target forStreptococcus agalactiae (lactobacillales) The need for syn-thesized fatty acid by their own (streptococci pneumococcienterococci and staphylococci) reduces in the presence ofexogenous fatty acid in both in vitro and in vivo conditionsHuman serum has a high composition of fatty acids so FASII inhibitor may not affect at all Gram-positive pathogens invivo But the findings with S agalactiae can be reasonablyextended to all Gram-positive bacteria which has starteda vigorous debate Also there is no clear explanation how

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

demands new antibacterial targets Fatty acid synthase (FAS)pathway is now an attractive target for antibacterial agentsbecause as a new target FAS inhibition will not suffer frombacterial resistance immediately and biosynthesis pathway ofbacteria plants and parasites (FAS II in which componentproteins are dissociated) is different frommammals (FAS I inwhich component proteins are generally single-chain mul-tidomain homodimers or two-chain heterodimers carryingall proteins of the pathway) in subcellular organization of
components which demonstrate a target specificity for theFAS II inhibitors A general scheme for type II fatty acidbiosynthesis is shown in Figure 2[9] A recent developmentin finding inhibitors of fatty acid biosynthesis is the discov-ery of platensimycin which shows broad-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity (Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and Enterococci (VRE) MIC lt 10 120583gmLminus1) by selectivelyinhibiting cellular lipid biosynthesis [58] The mechanismof action is the selective inhibition of elongation of FabF

Scheme 11 Retrosynthetic analysis of platensimycin
(a condensing enzyme) in the bacterial fatty acid syntheticpathway by intercalating with the malonyl binding site ofthe catalytic triad of FabF acyl enzyme intermediate Inversecorrelation of FabF expression levels with the sensitivityof S aureus to the drug platensimycin confirms that FabFis the useful target for antibacterial action Platensimycinexhibited an IC
50of 48 nM and 160 nM against FabF in S
aureus and E coli respectively But the drug shows weakinhibition against FabHwith an IC
50value of 67mM Further
studies have shown that in vitro binding of platensimycinwith FabF is relatively weak which leads to the discoveryof its binding with acyl-thioester intermediate of the FabFpathway From a crystal structure of a Cys-163-Gln FabFmutant which simulates acyl-thioester intermediate it was
found that platensimycin bind with the active site of FabFwith the carboxylic acid group lying in the malonate-bindingsite coplanar with the amide side chain of Gln163 [59]
Though Brinster et al [60] explained an alternativehypothesis that FAS II inhibition is not a suitable target forStreptococcus agalactiae (lactobacillales) The need for syn-thesized fatty acid by their own (streptococci pneumococcienterococci and staphylococci) reduces in the presence ofexogenous fatty acid in both in vitro and in vivo conditionsHuman serum has a high composition of fatty acids so FASII inhibitor may not affect at all Gram-positive pathogens invivo But the findings with S agalactiae can be reasonablyextended to all Gram-positive bacteria which has starteda vigorous debate Also there is no clear explanation how

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

demands new antibacterial targets Fatty acid synthase (FAS)pathway is now an attractive target for antibacterial agentsbecause as a new target FAS inhibition will not suffer frombacterial resistance immediately and biosynthesis pathway ofbacteria plants and parasites (FAS II in which componentproteins are dissociated) is different frommammals (FAS I inwhich component proteins are generally single-chain mul-tidomain homodimers or two-chain heterodimers carryingall proteins of the pathway) in subcellular organization of
components which demonstrate a target specificity for theFAS II inhibitors A general scheme for type II fatty acidbiosynthesis is shown in Figure 2[9] A recent developmentin finding inhibitors of fatty acid biosynthesis is the discov-ery of platensimycin which shows broad-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity (Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and Enterococci (VRE) MIC lt 10 120583gmLminus1) by selectivelyinhibiting cellular lipid biosynthesis [58] The mechanismof action is the selective inhibition of elongation of FabF

Scheme 11 Retrosynthetic analysis of platensimycin
(a condensing enzyme) in the bacterial fatty acid syntheticpathway by intercalating with the malonyl binding site ofthe catalytic triad of FabF acyl enzyme intermediate Inversecorrelation of FabF expression levels with the sensitivityof S aureus to the drug platensimycin confirms that FabFis the useful target for antibacterial action Platensimycinexhibited an IC
50of 48 nM and 160 nM against FabF in S
aureus and E coli respectively But the drug shows weakinhibition against FabHwith an IC
50value of 67mM Further
studies have shown that in vitro binding of platensimycinwith FabF is relatively weak which leads to the discoveryof its binding with acyl-thioester intermediate of the FabFpathway From a crystal structure of a Cys-163-Gln FabFmutant which simulates acyl-thioester intermediate it was
found that platensimycin bind with the active site of FabFwith the carboxylic acid group lying in the malonate-bindingsite coplanar with the amide side chain of Gln163 [59]
Though Brinster et al [60] explained an alternativehypothesis that FAS II inhibition is not a suitable target forStreptococcus agalactiae (lactobacillales) The need for syn-thesized fatty acid by their own (streptococci pneumococcienterococci and staphylococci) reduces in the presence ofexogenous fatty acid in both in vitro and in vivo conditionsHuman serum has a high composition of fatty acids so FASII inhibitor may not affect at all Gram-positive pathogens invivo But the findings with S agalactiae can be reasonablyextended to all Gram-positive bacteria which has starteda vigorous debate Also there is no clear explanation how

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

demands new antibacterial targets Fatty acid synthase (FAS)pathway is now an attractive target for antibacterial agentsbecause as a new target FAS inhibition will not suffer frombacterial resistance immediately and biosynthesis pathway ofbacteria plants and parasites (FAS II in which componentproteins are dissociated) is different frommammals (FAS I inwhich component proteins are generally single-chain mul-tidomain homodimers or two-chain heterodimers carryingall proteins of the pathway) in subcellular organization of
components which demonstrate a target specificity for theFAS II inhibitors A general scheme for type II fatty acidbiosynthesis is shown in Figure 2[9] A recent developmentin finding inhibitors of fatty acid biosynthesis is the discov-ery of platensimycin which shows broad-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity (Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and Enterococci (VRE) MIC lt 10 120583gmLminus1) by selectivelyinhibiting cellular lipid biosynthesis [58] The mechanismof action is the selective inhibition of elongation of FabF

Scheme 11 Retrosynthetic analysis of platensimycin
(a condensing enzyme) in the bacterial fatty acid syntheticpathway by intercalating with the malonyl binding site ofthe catalytic triad of FabF acyl enzyme intermediate Inversecorrelation of FabF expression levels with the sensitivityof S aureus to the drug platensimycin confirms that FabFis the useful target for antibacterial action Platensimycinexhibited an IC
50of 48 nM and 160 nM against FabF in S
aureus and E coli respectively But the drug shows weakinhibition against FabHwith an IC
50value of 67mM Further
studies have shown that in vitro binding of platensimycinwith FabF is relatively weak which leads to the discoveryof its binding with acyl-thioester intermediate of the FabFpathway From a crystal structure of a Cys-163-Gln FabFmutant which simulates acyl-thioester intermediate it was
found that platensimycin bind with the active site of FabFwith the carboxylic acid group lying in the malonate-bindingsite coplanar with the amide side chain of Gln163 [59]
Though Brinster et al [60] explained an alternativehypothesis that FAS II inhibition is not a suitable target forStreptococcus agalactiae (lactobacillales) The need for syn-thesized fatty acid by their own (streptococci pneumococcienterococci and staphylococci) reduces in the presence ofexogenous fatty acid in both in vitro and in vivo conditionsHuman serum has a high composition of fatty acids so FASII inhibitor may not affect at all Gram-positive pathogens invivo But the findings with S agalactiae can be reasonablyextended to all Gram-positive bacteria which has starteda vigorous debate Also there is no clear explanation how

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

demands new antibacterial targets Fatty acid synthase (FAS)pathway is now an attractive target for antibacterial agentsbecause as a new target FAS inhibition will not suffer frombacterial resistance immediately and biosynthesis pathway ofbacteria plants and parasites (FAS II in which componentproteins are dissociated) is different frommammals (FAS I inwhich component proteins are generally single-chain mul-tidomain homodimers or two-chain heterodimers carryingall proteins of the pathway) in subcellular organization of
components which demonstrate a target specificity for theFAS II inhibitors A general scheme for type II fatty acidbiosynthesis is shown in Figure 2[9] A recent developmentin finding inhibitors of fatty acid biosynthesis is the discov-ery of platensimycin which shows broad-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity (Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and Enterococci (VRE) MIC lt 10 120583gmLminus1) by selectivelyinhibiting cellular lipid biosynthesis [58] The mechanismof action is the selective inhibition of elongation of FabF

Scheme 11 Retrosynthetic analysis of platensimycin
(a condensing enzyme) in the bacterial fatty acid syntheticpathway by intercalating with the malonyl binding site ofthe catalytic triad of FabF acyl enzyme intermediate Inversecorrelation of FabF expression levels with the sensitivityof S aureus to the drug platensimycin confirms that FabFis the useful target for antibacterial action Platensimycinexhibited an IC
50of 48 nM and 160 nM against FabF in S
aureus and E coli respectively But the drug shows weakinhibition against FabHwith an IC
50value of 67mM Further
studies have shown that in vitro binding of platensimycinwith FabF is relatively weak which leads to the discoveryof its binding with acyl-thioester intermediate of the FabFpathway From a crystal structure of a Cys-163-Gln FabFmutant which simulates acyl-thioester intermediate it was
found that platensimycin bind with the active site of FabFwith the carboxylic acid group lying in the malonate-bindingsite coplanar with the amide side chain of Gln163 [59]
Though Brinster et al [60] explained an alternativehypothesis that FAS II inhibition is not a suitable target forStreptococcus agalactiae (lactobacillales) The need for syn-thesized fatty acid by their own (streptococci pneumococcienterococci and staphylococci) reduces in the presence ofexogenous fatty acid in both in vitro and in vivo conditionsHuman serum has a high composition of fatty acids so FASII inhibitor may not affect at all Gram-positive pathogens invivo But the findings with S agalactiae can be reasonablyextended to all Gram-positive bacteria which has starteda vigorous debate Also there is no clear explanation how

Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

demands new antibacterial targets Fatty acid synthase (FAS)pathway is now an attractive target for antibacterial agentsbecause as a new target FAS inhibition will not suffer frombacterial resistance immediately and biosynthesis pathway ofbacteria plants and parasites (FAS II in which componentproteins are dissociated) is different frommammals (FAS I inwhich component proteins are generally single-chain mul-tidomain homodimers or two-chain heterodimers carryingall proteins of the pathway) in subcellular organization of
components which demonstrate a target specificity for theFAS II inhibitors A general scheme for type II fatty acidbiosynthesis is shown in Figure 2[9] A recent developmentin finding inhibitors of fatty acid biosynthesis is the discov-ery of platensimycin which shows broad-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity (Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and Enterococci (VRE) MIC lt 10 120583gmLminus1) by selectivelyinhibiting cellular lipid biosynthesis [58] The mechanismof action is the selective inhibition of elongation of FabF

Scheme 11 Retrosynthetic analysis of platensimycin
(a condensing enzyme) in the bacterial fatty acid syntheticpathway by intercalating with the malonyl binding site ofthe catalytic triad of FabF acyl enzyme intermediate Inversecorrelation of FabF expression levels with the sensitivityof S aureus to the drug platensimycin confirms that FabFis the useful target for antibacterial action Platensimycinexhibited an IC
50of 48 nM and 160 nM against FabF in S
aureus and E coli respectively But the drug shows weakinhibition against FabHwith an IC
50value of 67mM Further
studies have shown that in vitro binding of platensimycinwith FabF is relatively weak which leads to the discoveryof its binding with acyl-thioester intermediate of the FabFpathway From a crystal structure of a Cys-163-Gln FabFmutant which simulates acyl-thioester intermediate it was
found that platensimycin bind with the active site of FabFwith the carboxylic acid group lying in the malonate-bindingsite coplanar with the amide side chain of Gln163 [59]
Though Brinster et al [60] explained an alternativehypothesis that FAS II inhibition is not a suitable target forStreptococcus agalactiae (lactobacillales) The need for syn-thesized fatty acid by their own (streptococci pneumococcienterococci and staphylococci) reduces in the presence ofexogenous fatty acid in both in vitro and in vivo conditionsHuman serum has a high composition of fatty acids so FASII inhibitor may not affect at all Gram-positive pathogens invivo But the findings with S agalactiae can be reasonablyextended to all Gram-positive bacteria which has starteda vigorous debate Also there is no clear explanation how

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

Scheme 11 Retrosynthetic analysis of platensimycin
(a condensing enzyme) in the bacterial fatty acid syntheticpathway by intercalating with the malonyl binding site ofthe catalytic triad of FabF acyl enzyme intermediate Inversecorrelation of FabF expression levels with the sensitivityof S aureus to the drug platensimycin confirms that FabFis the useful target for antibacterial action Platensimycinexhibited an IC
50of 48 nM and 160 nM against FabF in S
aureus and E coli respectively But the drug shows weakinhibition against FabHwith an IC
50value of 67mM Further
studies have shown that in vitro binding of platensimycinwith FabF is relatively weak which leads to the discoveryof its binding with acyl-thioester intermediate of the FabFpathway From a crystal structure of a Cys-163-Gln FabFmutant which simulates acyl-thioester intermediate it was
found that platensimycin bind with the active site of FabFwith the carboxylic acid group lying in the malonate-bindingsite coplanar with the amide side chain of Gln163 [59]
Though Brinster et al [60] explained an alternativehypothesis that FAS II inhibition is not a suitable target forStreptococcus agalactiae (lactobacillales) The need for syn-thesized fatty acid by their own (streptococci pneumococcienterococci and staphylococci) reduces in the presence ofexogenous fatty acid in both in vitro and in vivo conditionsHuman serum has a high composition of fatty acids so FASII inhibitor may not affect at all Gram-positive pathogens invivo But the findings with S agalactiae can be reasonablyextended to all Gram-positive bacteria which has starteda vigorous debate Also there is no clear explanation how

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist

7 Conclusion
Development of bacterial resistance to the existing antibioticsis an alarming situation in the 20th century Finding new tar-get for bacterial demolition is essential Platensimycin servingas a potential antibiotic interacting with FabF may bypassbacterial resistance It should be noted that starting from2006 till now a huge number of scientists providedmany syn-thetic strategies and derivatives which are very encouraging
Though some evidence like incorporation of exogenous fattyacid inside bacteria when supplied makes the hope regardingplatensimycin is uncertain overall isolation of platensimycinas a selective FabF inhibitor complex synthesis of tetracycliccage and enhancement of its pharmacokinetic properties byits derivative synthesis are the excellent works in the era ofmedicinal chemistry It is expected that this review might behelpful for the medicinal chemist
