Abstract

Inflexibility: Elansolid-A was isolated from Chitinophaga sancti (Flexibacter sancti ) as the two separable isomers A1 and A2 (1 and 1*, respectively). Molecular modeling revealed that they are stable atropisomers which are "frozen" by 14 inflexible bonds within the 19-membered macrolide ring. The absolute configuration was established by synthesis of the C1-C11 fragment. Elansolid-A2 shows activity against Gram-positive bacteria.
