A comprehensive review of glycosylated bacterial natural products

Sherif I Elshahawi et al. Chem Soc Rev. .

Abstract

A systematic analysis of all naturally-occurring glycosylated bacterial secondary metabolites reported in the scientific literature up through early 2013 is presented. This comprehensive analysis of 15 940 bacterial natural products revealed 3426 glycosides containing 344 distinct appended carbohydrates and highlights a range of unique opportunities for future biosynthetic study and glycodiversification efforts.

Summary of all sugars present in bacterial natural products (1–344). Only sugars that displayed differences within the fundamental monosaccharide core (specifically, notable stereochemical and/or functional group variation, including anomeric configuration) were considered as distinct. Modifications of a common sugar core (e.g., O/N/S-alkyl/acyl substitutions) were designated as identical to the parental core saccharide.
