Heterocycles display common structural motifs in nonribosomally produced peptides with an enormous impact on their bioactivity. In the case of the branched cyclic Bacitracin A, the thiazoline moiety is manufactured during NRPS peptide chain elongation. Here we describe a method to selectively alter the heterocyclic metal binding subunit of Bacitracin A by the synthesis of heterocyclic building blocks that were successfully coupled to the linear decapeptide and subsequently cyclized using the excised bacitracin PCP-TE bidomain. Utilization of this cyclase allowed the first generation of branched cyclic bacitracin derivatives containing thiazole and oxazoles. The generated bacitracin derivatives showed bactericidal activity, indicating the possibility of altering the biological important heterocyclic subunit and overcoming existing limitations for the application of bacitracin.

Isoselenocyanates derived from Boc/Z-amino acids are prepared by the reaction of the corresponding isonitriles with selenium powder in presence of triethylamine at reflux. The utility of these new classes of isoselenocyanates in the preparation of selenoureidodipeptidomimetics possessing both amino as well as carboxy termini has been accomplished. The 1H NMR analysis confirmed that the protocol involving the conversion of isonitriles to isoselenocyanates and their use as coupling agents in assembling selenoureido derivatives is free from racemization.
