Non-enzymatic pyridine ring formation in the biosynthesis of the rubrolone tropolone alkaloids
The biosynthesis of pyridine rings is still poorly understood. Here the authors propose a biosynthetic pathway for pyridine-containing rubrolones, which is characterized by a non-enzymatic condensation and cyclization of the pyridine moiety.
