Oxepinamide F biosynthesis involves enzymatic d-aminoacyl epimerization, 3H-oxepin formation, and hydroxylation induced double bond migration

Abstract

Oxepinamides are a class of fungal oxepins with biological activities. Here, the authors elucidate the biosynthetic pathway of oxepinamide F from Aspergillus ustus and show that it involves enyme-catalysed oxepin ring formation, hydroxylation-induced double bond migration, epimerization and methylation.
