Using a complementary approach that merged chemical synthesis with pathway refactoring, we produced a series of physostigmine analogues with altered specificity and toxicity profiles in the heterologous host Myxococcus xanthus. The compounds that were generated by applying a simple feeding strategy include the promising drug candidate phenserine, which was previously accessible only by total synthesis.
