ABSTRACT
A feasible synthetic approach toward the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) N-glycolyl lipid II-like molecule 1 is described. Compound 1 bears pendant undecaprenol and l-lysin moieties instead of the naturally occurring decaprenol and meso-diaminopimelic acid, which are not readily available. Functionalization of 1 with a fluorophore on the peptide side chain gave 14, which was found to be recognized as an Mtb TGase substrate. This result suggests it has tremendous utility for mechanistic studies, the characterization of mycobacterial enzymes, and mycobacterial TGase inhibitor evaluation.
