The authors regret that the name displayed for compound E17 in the ‘Materials and methods’ section of their article contains an error. The corrected name for compound E17 is (1S,2R,13R,14S,17R,18S)-17-ethynyl-2,18-dimethyl-7-[(3-methyl-2-pyridyl)amino]-8-thia-6-azapentacyclo[11.7.0.0^2,10^.0^5,9^.0^14,18^]icosa-5(9),6,10-trien-17-ol.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
