Abstrakt: The chiral conformation that palmitoleic acid takes when it is bound to ToxT, the master regulator of virulence genes in the bacterial pathogen Vibrio cholerae , was used as inspiration to design a novel class of fatty acid mimetics. The best mimetic, based on a chiral hydrindane, was found to be a potent inhibitor of this target. The synthetic chemistry that enabled these studies was based on the sequential use of a stereoselective annulative cross-coupling reaction and dissolving metal reduction to establish the C13 and C9 stereocenters, respectively.
