Proposed pathway for grisechelin A (4) biosynthesis in S. griseus CB00830, featuring 7-chlorotryptophan and 7-chloro-3-hydroxyquinaldic acid as key intermediates and a NRPS biosynthetic machinery incorporating 7-chloro-3-hydroxyquinaldic acid and two molecules of Lcysteine to afford the nonribosomal peptide backbone, as supported by the isolation of shunt metabolites grisechelin B (5), C (6), D (7), 4-chloroanthranilamide (8), and methyl 4- chloroanthranilate (9) from the same strain. β-S-Enzβ depicts biosynthetic intermediates covalently tethered to the peptidyl carrier protein of the NRPS.
