Abstrakt: We report the chemical synthesis of pseudouridimycin (1), an antimicrobial natural product that potently and selectively inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase. Chemical stability studies revealed intramolecular hydroxamate bond scission to be a major decomposition pathway for 1 in aqueous buffer. Replacement of the hydroxamate bond with a tertiary amide, as in 16, afforded a conformational isostere resistant to degradation. These studies pave the way for the design and synthesis of analogues with improved chemical stability and biological activity.
