Abstract

Using a uniquely promiscuous engineered glycosyltransferase (GT) derived from the macrolide-inactivating GT OleD, a single-step asymmetric glucosylation of one 'arm' of the drug mitoxantrone was efficiently achieved in high stereo- and regiospecificity. The synthesis, structural elucidation, and anticancer activity of the corresponding mitoxantrone 4′-β-d-glucoside are described.
