Exploring the biocombinatorial potential of benzoxazoles: generation of novel caboxamycin derivatives

Abstract Background The biosynthesis pathway of benzoxazole compounds caboxamycin and nataxazole have been recently elucidated. Both compounds share one of their precursors, 3-hydroxyanthranilate (two units in the case of nataxazole). In addition, caboxamycin structure includes a salicylate moiety w...
