2014 REU Poster: Total Synthesis of Myxopyronin
OA Version
Citation
Abstract
Myxopyronin A and B was first isolated in the early 1980s from the bacteria Myxococcus fulvus. These molecules possess a single stereocenter with a (R) – configuration. The ability to inhibit the growth of several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and to selectively target bacteria RNA polymerase over human polymerase makes Myxopyronin a molecule worth studying. This project approaches the total synthesis of Myxopyronin via racemic and asymmetric routes.
