The biosynthesis of fatty acids and polyketides isbasically the same except that the β-keto group isgenerally not completely reduced out in thebiosynthesis of polyketide derive compounds.

This gives rise to huge structural diversity basedaround a 1,3-oxygenation pattern and cyclization togive aromatic compounds.

Unlike fatty acids, polyketides are NOTBiosynthesised by humans – only by plants,microorganisms (bacteria) & fungi.The biosynthesis of polyketides is catalyzed by theenzyme PolyKetide Synthase (PKS).

In principle, a thioester could replace an estergiving the same product but with loss of thiol(RSH) rather than an alcohol. This is importantin biosynthesis as nature often works withthioesters.

A distinctive feature of an aromatic ring systemderived through the acetate pathway is that severalof the carbonyl oxygens of the poly-β-keto systemare retained in the final product. These end up onalternate carbons around the ring system.
Of course, one or more might be used in forming acarbon–carbon bond, as in orsellinic acid.
Nevertheless, this oxygenation on alternate carbonatoms, a meta oxygenation pattern, is usuallyeasily recognizable, and points to the biosyntheticorigin of the molecule.

Secondary Structural ModificationsDuring Polyketide Cyclisations
The structural variety of polyketide-derived naturalproducts is increased enormously by secondarystructural modifications.
We have already seen such an example in thebiosynthesis of alternariol in which an ester linkagehas been created. The formation of these esterlinkages can be considered as secondarymodifications after cyclization of the polyketideshas occurred.

Phenols are oxidised to their correspondingphenoxy radicals.
The unpaired electron in a phenoxy radical can bedelocalised over the oxygen atom, the carbon atomat the 2-position (ortho) and the carbon atom atthe 4-position (para).

Once phenoxy radicals have been generated, theydimerise by pairing the unpaired electron of onephenoxy radical with the unpaired electron of asecond phenoxy radical.
