Abstract
A new and highly efficient continuous flow process is presented for the synthesis of aziridines via the thermal Baldwin rearrangement. The process was initially explored using traditional batch synthesis techniques but suffered from moderate yields, long reaction times, and moderate diastereoselectivities. Here we demonstrate that the process can be greatly improved upon its transfer to continuous flow, which afforded the aziridine targets in high yields, short reaction times, and consistently high diastereoselectivities, with the high-throughput process rendering multigram quantities of product in short periods of time. In addition, flow processing extended the substrate scope including several examples that had failed in batch mode, thus demonstrating the value of this overlooked entry into valuable aziridine species.

Abstract
Chiral cyclopentadienyl-rhodium(III) Cpx Rh(III) catalysis has been demonstrated to be competent for catalyzing highly enantioselective aziridination of challenging unactivated terminal alkenes and nitrene sources. The chiral Cpx Rh(III) catalysis system exhibited outstanding catalytic performance and wide functional group tolerance, yielding synthetically important and highly valuable chiral aziridines with good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99 % yield, 93 % ee). This protocol presents a novel and effective strategy for synthesizing enantioenriched aziridines from simple alkenes. Various transformations were performed on the aziridine products, illustrating the versatility and synthetic potential of this protocol for constructing highly functionalized compounds.

Abstract
Ficellomycin, azinomycins, and vazabitide A are nonribosomal peptide natural products characterized by an amino acid unit that contains a similar 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (ABCH) pharmacophore. This unit is derived from diamino-dihydroxy-heptanic acid (DADH); however, the process through which linear DADH is cyclized to furnish an ABCH ring system remains poorly understood. Based on the reconstitution of the route of the ABCH-containing unit by blending genes/enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of ficellomycin and azinomycins, we report that ABCH formation is completed by an oxidase heterotetramer with the association of a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS). The DADH precursor was prepared in Escherichia coli to produce a conjugate subjected to in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis for offloading from an amino-group carrier protein. To furnish an aziridine ring, DADH was processed by C7-hydroxyl sulfonation and sulfate elimination-coupled cyclization. Further cyclization leading to an azabicyclic hexane pharmacophore was proved to occur in the NRPS, where the oxidase heterotetramer functions in trans and catalyzes α,β-dehydrogenation to initiate the formation of a fused five-membered nitrogen heterocycle. The identity of ABCH was validated by utilization of the resultant ABCH-containing unit in the total biosynthesis of ficellomycin. Biochemical characterization, crystal structure, and site-specific mutagenesis rationalize the catalytic mechanism of the unusual oxidase heterotetramer.

Abstract
(2,6)-Diamino-(5,7)-dihydroxyheptanoic acid (DADH), a non-proteinogenic amino acid, is converted to 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane ring-containing amino acids that are subsequently incorporated into ficellomycin and vazabitide A. The present study revealed that the sugar aminotransferase-like enzymes Fic25 and Vzb9, with a high amino acid sequence identity (56%) to each other, synthesized stereoisomers of DADH with (6S) and (6R) configurations, respectively. The crystal structure of the Fic25 complex with a PLP-(6S)-N2-acetyl-DADH adduct indicated that Asn45 and Gln197 (Asn205 and Ala53 in Vzb9) were located at positions that affected the stereochemistry of DADH being synthesized. A modeling study suggested that amino acid substitutions between Fic25 and Vzb9 allowed the enzymes to bind to the substrate with almost 180° rotation in the C5-C7 portions of the DADH molecules, accompanied by a concomitant shift in their C1-C4 portions. In support of this result, the replacement of two corresponding residues in Fic25 and Vzb9 increased (6R) and (6S) stereoselectivities, respectively. The different stereochemistry at C6 of DADH resulted in a different stereochemistry/orientation of the aziridine portion of the 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane ring, which plays a crucial role in biological activity, between ficellomycin and vazabitide A. A phylogenic analysis suggested that Fic25 and Vzb9 evolved from sugar aminotransferases to produce unusual building blocks for expanding the structural diversity of secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Simple and efficient strategies for the syntheses of enantiomerically enriched functionalized diethyl 2-amino-, 2,3-diamino- and 2-amino-3-hydroxypropylphosphonates have been developed starting from, respectively, N-protected (aziridin-2-yl)methylphosphonates, employing a regioselective aziridine ring-opening reaction with corresponding nucleophiles. Diethyl (R)- and (S)-2-(N-Boc-amino)propylphosphonates were obtained via direct regiospecific hydrogenolysis of the respective enantiomer of (R)- and (S)-N-Boc-(aziridin-2-yl)methylphosphonates. N-Boc-protected (R)- and (S)-2,3-diaminopropylphosphonates were synthesized from (R)- and (S)-N-Bn-(aziridin-2-yl)methylphosphonates via a regiospecific ring-opening reaction with neat trimethylsilyl azide and subsequent reduction of (R)- and (S)-2-(N-Boc-amino)-3-azidopropylphosphonates using triphenylphosphine. On the other hand, treatment of the corresponding (R)- and (S)-N-Bn-(aziridin-2-yl)methylphosphonates with glacial acetic acid led regiospecifically to the formation of (R)- and (S)-2-(N-Bn-amino)-3-acetoxypropylphosphonates.

Abstract
Natural products containing an aziridine ring, such as mitomycin C and azinomycin B, exhibit antitumor activities by alkylating DNA via their aziridine rings; however, the biosynthetic mechanisms underlying the formation of these rings have not yet been elucidated. We herein investigated the biosynthesis of vazabitide A, the structure of which is similar to that of azinomycin B, and demonstrated that Vzb10/11, with no similarities to known enzymes, catalyzed the formation of the aziridine ring via sulfate elimination. To elucidate the detailed reaction mechanism, crystallization of Vzb10/11 and the homologous enzyme, AziU3/U2, in the biosynthesis of azinomycin B was attempted, and the structure of AziU3/U2, which had a new protein fold overall, was successfully determined. The structural analysis revealed that these enzymes adjusted the dihedral angle between the amino group and the adjacent sulfate group of the substrate to almost 180° and enhanced the nucleophilicity of the C6-amino group temporarily, facilitating the SN2-like reaction to form the aziridine ring. The present study reports for the first time the molecular basis for aziridine ring formation.

Abstract
Endophytes, being the co-evolution partners of green host plants, are factories of pharmaceutically valuable novel natural products. Cochliobolus sp. APS1, an endophyte of Andrographis paniculata (Green Chiretta), produces a plethora of natural bioactive compounds and the multipotent alkaloid Aziridine, 1-(2-aminoethyl)-, is the prime one among them. The isolate exhibited antibacterial, anti-biofilm, and antilarval potency. The MIC and MBC values of the ethyl-acetate culture extract ranged from 15.62 to 250 µg/mL against ten pathogenic microorganisms (including MRSA and VRSA). Killing kinetics data along with the leakage of macromolecules into the extracellular environment supports the cidal activity of the antibacterial principles. The broad spectrum antibacterial activity of Aziridine, 1-(2-aminoethyl)-, was optimized by a one-variable-at-a-time system coupled with response surface methodology, which led to a 45% enhancement of the antibacterial activity. The maximum response (22.81 ± 0.16 mm of zone of inhibition against MRSA) was marked in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 90 mL potato dextrose broth supplemented with (g%/L) glucose, 9.7; urea concentration, 0.74; with medium pH 6.48; after 8.76 days of incubation at 26 °C. APS1 strongly inhibited biofilm formation in the tested pathogenic microorganisms and acts as a larvicidal agent against the Dengue-vector Aedes aegypti. This is probably the first report of Aziridine, 1-(2-aminoethyl)-, from any endophytic source. Cochliobolus sp. APS1 possesses industrial importance for the production of bioactive alkaloids.

Abstract
Ficellomycin is an aziridine-containing antibiotic, produced by Streptomyces ficellus. Based on the newly identified ficellomycin gene cluster and the assigned functions of its genes, a possible pathway for aziridine ring formation in ficellomycin was proposed, which is a complex process involving at least 3 enzymatic steps. To obtain support for the proposed mechanism, the targeted genes encoding sulfate adenylyltransferase, adenylsulfate kinase, and a putative sulfotransferase were respectively disrupted and the subsequent analysis of their fermentation products revealed that all the three genes were involved in aziridine formation. To further confirm the mechanism, the key gene encoding a putative sulfotransferase was over expressed in Escherichia coli Rosseta (DE3). Enzyme assays indicated that the expressed sulfotransferase could specifically transfer a sulfo group from 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) onto the hydroxyl group of (R)-(-)-2-pyrrolidinemethanol. This introduces a good leaving group in the form of the sulfated hydroxyl moiety, which is then converted into an aziridine ring through an intramolecular nucleophilic attack by the adjacent secondary amine. The sulfation/intramolecular cyclization reaction sequence maybe a general strategy for aziridine biosynthesis in microorganisms. Discovery of this mechanism revealed an enzyme-catalyzed route for the synthesis of aziridine-containing reagents and provided an important insight into the functional diversity of sulfotransferases.

Abstract
The 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane ring is a key moiety in natural products for biological activities against bacteria, fungi, and tumor through DNA alkylation. Ficellomycin is a dipeptide that consists of l-valine and a non-proteinogenic amino acid with the 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane ring structure. Although the biosynthetic gene cluster of ficellomycin has been identified, the biosynthetic pathway currently remains unclear. We herein report the final stage of ficellomycin biosynthesis involving ring modifications and successive dipeptide formation. After the ring is formed, the hydroxy group of the ring is converted into the guanidyl unit by three enzymes, which include an aminotransferase with a novel inter ω-ω amino-transferring activity. In the last step, the resulting 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane ring-containing amino acid is connected with l-valine by an amino acid ligase to yield ficellomycin. The present study revealed a new machinery that expands the structural and biological diversities of natural products.

Abstract
Aziridines are highly versatile intermediates in organic synthesis due to their easy access
and their susceptibility to ring-opening by facile C-N bond cleavage. They are synthetically very important
as they are valuable precursors of amino sugars, β-lactam antibiotics and alkaloids or present
in various natural products that exhibit potent biological activities. The synthesis of this moiety from
the easily available chemicals is desirable due to its tremendous use in the various branches of chemistry.
Here, a short review has been reported on the synthesis of this scaffold employing different strategies
under different greener conditions. Various methods have been developed in the presence of
green catalysts and solvents.

Abstract
This work describes a straightforward diastereoselective synthetic access to azirino[2,1-b]benzo[e][1,3]oxazines containing phosphorus substituents such as phosphonate or phosphine oxide, by means of nucleophilic addition of functionalized phenols to the C-N double bond of 2H-azirine derivatives. In addition, the cytotoxic effect on cell lines derived from human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and human embryonic kidney (HEK293) was also screened. Some azirino[2,1-b]benzo[e][1,3]oxazines 4 and 6 exhibited very good activity against the A549 cell line in vitro. Furthermore, selectivity towards cancer cell (A549) over (HEK293), and non-malignant cells (MCR-5) has been detected.

Abstract
A novel actinobacterial strain, designated 16K104T, was isolated from desert soil collected from the Karakum Desert and characterized using a polyphasic approach to clarify its taxonomic position. Strain 16K104T was found to have chemotaxonomic and morphological properties consistent with classification in the genus Kribbella. The strain shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Kribbella albertanoniae BC640T (99.2 %), and formed a branch with Kribbella antibiotica YIM 31530T in the 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic tree. Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) using five housekeeping genes (gyrB, rpoB, relA, recA and atpD) for comparing the strain with all Kribbella type strains showed that the MLSA distances of strain 16K104T to the closely related type strains of the genus were much higher than the 0.04 threshold. The organism was found to contain ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The whole-cell sugars were identified as ribose and glucose. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0. The results of digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity analyses, in addition to MLSA phylogenetic distances, confirmed that the strain represents a novel species of the genus Kribbella, for which the name Kribbella turkmenica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 16K104T (=JCM 32914T=KCTC 49224T).

Abstract
2H-Azirines are useful precursors for the synthesis of a variety of chiral aziridine and amine derivatives with a range of biological activities. Owing to the ring strain and the presence of a C=N double bond, 2H-azirines are more reactive than other types of ketimine, and undergo a range of enantioselective reactions, including reduction and Diels-Alder reactions, as well as nucleophilic addition to the C=N double bond. Therefore, the enantioselective reactions of 2H-azirines has become a hot topic, in particular within the last few years. In this Minireview, we focus on the enantioselective reactions of 2H-azirines by using catalytic or stoichiometric amounts of chiral additives, the reaction mechanisms, and the applications of these reactions of 2H-azirines and related compounds in organic synthesis.

Abstract
This work reports an efficient diastereoselective synthetic methodology for the preparation of phosphorus substituted cyanoaziridines through the nucleophilic addition of TMSCN, as cyanide source, to the C-N double bond of 2H-azirine derivatives. The aziridine ring, in these novel cyanoaziridines, can be activated by simple N-tosylation or N-acylation. In addition, the cytotoxic effect on cell lines derived from human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and human embryonic kidney (HEK293) was also screened. N-H and N-Substituted cyanoaziridines showed excellent activity against the A549 cell line in vitro. Moreover, selectivity towards cancer cell (A549) over (HEK293), and non-malignant cells (MCR-5) has been observed.

Abstract
Root parasitic weeds, such as Orobanche spp. and Striga spp., cause serious damage to crops. Recently, it was demonstrated that nojirimycin (NJ) selectively inhibits seed germination in these weeds. In this study, we modified the medium for Streptomyces ficellus to increase its production of NJ and evaluated the culture as an antiparasitic weed agent. We screened alternatives to Pharmamedia™, an additive in the original medium, and found that marine broth stimulated NJ production. Moreover, soluble starch-depleted medium could maintain S. ficellus NJ production. The NJ concentration reached 710 mg/L after four-day batch culture in starch-depleted marine broth medium, which was 17-fold higher than that in the Pharmamedia™ medium. The culture in the marine broth medium inhibited seed germination of Orobanche spp. and Striga spp. as effectively as a standard solution of NJ.

Abstract
The present review describes research on natural aziridine alkaloids isolated from both terrestrial and marine species, as well as their lipophilic semi-synthetic, and/or synthetic analogs. Over 130 biologically active aziridine-containing compounds demonstrate confirmed pharmacological activity including antitumor, antimicrobial, antibacterial effects. The structures, origin, and biological activities of aziridine alkaloids are reviewed. Consequently this review emphasizes the role of aziridine alkaloids as an important source of drug prototypes and leads for drug discovery.
