Quinolidomicin A1 is a 60-membered macrocyclic compound isolated from Micromonospora sp. JY16.[1] Quinolidomicins are a class of macrolides that contain a benzoquinone chromophore as well as an immense lactone ring, which far surpasses that in monozanomycin.[2] It is currently the largest identified macrolide of terrestrial origin.[3] It was initially discovered when in a screening for anti-tumor antibiotics, where it was found to be cytotoxic against P388 murine leukemia cells (IC50 8 nM),[4] and has later been found to have strong cytotoxic activity against HT-29, MKN28, K562, and KB.[5]
Like many macrocyclic polyketides, quinolidomicin A1 is biosynthesized by type-I polyketide synthases. Decarboxylative condensations for a single-chain elongation are facilitated by β-ketosynthase (KS), acyl transferase (AT), and acyl carrier protein (ACP). The modification domains that contribute to structural variations are dehydratase (DH), enoylreductase (ER), and β-ketoreductase (KR). A module refers to a set of these domains. The acyclic chain is then cut by thioesterase (TE). As this is such a large macrolide, it contains many modules across 13 open reading frames (ORF) to be biosynthesized, the order shown as a sequence of these domains.[6]
