The highly potent DNA‐cleaving molecule uncialamycin ( 1 ) was prepared in an asymmetric total synthesis featuring an enantioselective Noyori reduction. Compound 1 and its C26 epimer exhibit impressive broad‐spectrum antibacterial properties and highly potent antitumor activities against a variety of cell lines.
