  • Patent number: 11518775
    Abstract: The subject invention provides methods for the chemical synthesis of racemic arsinothricin (D,L-AST), the novel organoarsenical antibiotic. One is by condensation of the 2-chloroethyl(methyl)arsinic acid with acetamidomalonate, and the second involves reduction of the N-acetyl-protected derivative of hydroxyarsinothricin (AST-OH) and subsequent methylation of the resulting sodium salt of trivalent arsenic intermediate with methyl iodide. The enzyme AST N-acetyltransferase (ArsNl) was utilized to purify L-AST from racemic AST. This expedient chemical synthesis of AST provides a source of this novel antibiotic for future drug development.
