We are grateful to our colleagues C. Fehér, S. Heald, P. Schmitt, and S. Seip for NMR analyses. G. Schiffer determined the minimal inhibitory concentrations. A. Mayer-Bartschmidt and M.-A. Brüning carried out the fermentations. W. Schröder helped us with small-scale peptide analyses. J. Ragot resynthesized compound 2. We thank A. Göller, J. Schamberger, and M. Lobell for fruitful discussions about the 3D structure. We are indebted to H. Wild and H. Haning for their continuous support of this project and to H. Schirok and N. Griebenow for a critical revision of the manuscript.

Graphical Abstract

Gegen resistente Bakterien: Die Bestimmung der Kristallstruktur ermöglichte die Totalsynthese des Antibiotikums Lysobactin. Der minimale Einsatz von Schutzgruppen führte in Kombination mit molekularer Präorganisation zu einer sehr effizienten Makrolactamisierung. Die beschriebene Synthese ist ein neuer Ansatzpunkt für die Suche nach Antibiotika-Leitstrukturen.
