Description
Melithiazol B is an antibiotic produced by Melittangium lichenicila Mel26, Archangium gephyra Ar 7747 and Myxococcus stipitatus Mx s 64. It is a β-methoxyacrylate (MOA) inhibitor with strong anti-agent activity. Antifungal and cytotoxic agent.

1. Melithiazols, new beta-methoxyacrylate inhibitors of the respiratory chain isolated from myxobacteria. Production, isolation, physico-chemical and biological properties
F Sasse, B Böhlendorf, M Herrmann, B Kunze, E Forche, H Steinmetz, G Höfle, H Reichenbach J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1999 Aug;52(8):721-9. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.52.721.
New antibiotic compounds, melithiazols, were isolated from the culture broth of strains of the myxobacteria Melittangium lichenicola, Archangium gephyra, and Myxococcus stipitatus. The compounds belong to the group of beta-methoxyacrylate (MOA) inhibitors and are related to the myxothiazols. The melithiazols show high antifungal activity, but are less toxic than myxothiazol A and its methyl ester in a growth inhibition assay with mouse cell cultures. The melithiazols inhibit NADH oxidation by submitochondrial particles from beef heart. Melithiazol A blocks the electron transport within the bc1-segment (complex III) and causes a red shift in the reduced spectrum of cytochrome b.
2. Concise syntheses of cystothiazoles A, C, D, and melithiazol B
Yuki Iwaki, Hiroyuki Akita Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2007 Nov;55(11):1610-4. doi: 10.1248/cpb.55.1610.
A convergent synthesis of cystothiazoles C 1 and D 3 was achieved based on Julia coupling between the functionalized aldehyde 5b, corresponding to left half of the final molecule, and aryl sulfone 6 or 7, bearing a bithiazole moiety, corresponding to right half. Methylation of 1 and 3 gave cystothiazole A 2 and melithiazol B 4, respectively. The overall yield (5 steps from (2R,3S)-3-methylpent-4-yne-1,2-diol 10; 57%) of 5b via the present route was improved in comparison to that of the previously reported functionalized aldehyde 5a (7 steps from 10; 13%). By applying the modified Julia coupling method, selectivity (6E/6Z=20 : 1-26 : 1) toward the (6E)-form of the coupled products (15 or 19) against the corresponding (6Z)-form was improved in comparison to the Wittig method (6E/6Z=4 : 1-6.9 : 1).
