Synthesis of nitrogen-containing bicyclic sesquiterpenes as potential transition state inhibitors of aristolochene synthase

Aristolochene synthase from Penicillium roqueforti(PR-AS) is sesquiterpene synthase that catalyses the Mg2+-dependent conversion of farnesyl diphosphate FDP to (+)-aristolochene. Through the use of site directed mutagenesis, fluorinated FDPs and an aza-analogue of the eudesmane cation, the reaction...
