Title A new cannabigerolic acid derivative and its unprenylated precursor produced through the reconstitution of cannabinoid biosynthesis in Streptomyces.
Journal J Antibiot (Tokyo)
Abstract A new derivative of cannabigerolic acid, designated as iso-cannabigerolic acid (iso-CBGA), a member of the cannabinoid family, and its precursor iso-olivetolic acid (iso-OA) were discovered from the culture of the engineered Streptomyces avermitilis heterologously expressing the genes responsible for cannabigerolic acid biosynthesis. Structural determination revealed an iso-pentyl moiety, which may arise from the biosynthetic precursor pool present in S. avermitilis. We describe herein the culture, isolation, structure determination and antibacterial activities of iso-CBGA and iso-OA.
