In the course of our screening program for novel glycine transporter inhibitors, we obtained a novel cyclic tetrapeptide (WSS2220) from the culture broth of Nonomuraea sp. The structure of WSS2220 was elucidated based on physicochemical data. WSS2220 contained a novel amino acid (4-oxo-3′-sulfoisoleucine), the absolute stereochemistry of which was determined by chemical modifications and the modified Mosher's method. WSS2220 selectively inhibited glycine transporter type1 with an IC50 of 20 nM.

An aqueous solution containing L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) and DL-valine, DL-leucine or DL-isoleucine in the molar ratio of 1:2 gave adduct composed of equimolar amounts of L-Phe and the amino acids abounding in D-isomer as crystals.From the adducts, the recovered free aliphatic amino acids had about 100percent optical purity.

Auxarthrones A-E (1-5), five new phenalenones, and two new naturally occurring cyclic tetrapeptides, auxarthrides A (7) and B (8), were obtained from three different solvent extracts of cultures of the coprophilous fungus Auxarthron pseudauxarthron. Auxarthrones C (3) and E (5) possess an unusual 7a,8-dihydrocyclopenta[a]phenalene-7,9-dione ring system that has not been previously observed in natural products. Formation of 1-5 was found to be dependent on the solvent used for culture extraction. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated primarily by analysis of NMR and MS data. Auxarthrone A (1) was obtained as a mixture of chromatographically inseparable racemic diastereomers (1a and 1b) that cocrystallized, enabling confirmation of their structures by X-ray crystallography. The absolute configurations of 7 and 8 were assigned by analysis of their acid hydrolysates using Marfey's method. Compound 1 displayed moderate antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans, but did not affect human cancer cell lines.

Two new trypsin inhibitors, nostosin A (1) and B (2), were isolated from a hydrophilic extract of Nostoc sp. strain FSN, which was collected from a paddy field in the Golestan Province of Iran. Nostosins A (1) and B (2) are composed of three subunits, 2-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butanoic acid (Hhpba), l-Ile, and l-argininal (1) or argininol (2). Nostosins A (1) and B (2) exhibited IC50 values of 0.35 and 55 μM against porcine trypsin, respectively, suggesting that the argininal aldehyde group plays a crucial role in the efficient inhibition of trypsin. Molecular docking of nostosin A (1) (449 Da), leupeptin (426 Da, IC50 0.5 μM), and spumigin E (610 Da, IC50 A (1) and leupeptin but only partial binding similarity with spumigin E. The number of hydrogen bonds between ligands and trypsin increased according to the length and size of the ligand molecule, and the docking affinity values followed the measured IC50 values. Nostosin A (1) is the first highly potent three-subunit trypsin inhibitor with potency comparable to the known commercial trypsin inhibitor leupeptin. These findings expand the known diversity of short-chain linear peptide protease inhibitors produced by cyanobacteria.

A prodrug strategy was applied to guanidino-containing analogues to increase oral absorption via hPEPT1 and hVACVase. L-Valine, L-isoleucine, and L-phenylalanine esters of [3-(hydroxymethyl)-phenyl]guanidine (3-HPG) were synthesized and evaluated for transport and activation. In HeLa/ hPEPT1 cells, Val-3-HPG and Ile-3-HPG exhibited high affinity to hPEPT1 (IC50: 0.65 and 0.63 mM, respectively), and all three L-amino acid esters showed higher uptake (2.6- to 9-fold) than the parent compound 3-HPG. Val-3-HPG and Ile-3-HPG demonstrated remarkable Caco-2 permeability enhancement, and Val-3-HPG exhibited comparable permeability to valacyclovir. In rat perfusion studies, Val-3-HPG and Ile-3-HPG permeabilities were significantly higher than 3-HPG and exceeded/matched the high-permeability standard metoprolol, respectively. All the L-amino acid 3-HPG esters were effectively activated in HeLa and Caco-2 cell homogenates and were found to be good substrates of hVACVase (k cat/Km in mM-1 · s-1: Val-3-HPG, 3370; Ile-3-HPG, 1580; Phe-3-HPG, 1660). In conclusion, a prodrug strategy is effective at increasing the intestinal permeability of polar guanidino analogues via targeting hPEPT1 for transport and hVACVase for activation.

A new sequential tristhiazole-thiazoline-containing cyclic peptide, marthiapeptide A (1), was isolated from a 60 L scale culture of the deep South China Sea-derived strain Marinactinospora thermotolerans SCSIO 00652. The planar structure and absolute configuration of 1 were elucidated by application of spectroscopic techniques, as well as by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and chiral-phase HPLC analysis of the acid hydrolysates. Marthiapeptide A (1) exhibited antibacterial activity against a panel of Gram-positive bacteria, with MIC values ranging from 2.0 to 8.0 μg/mL, and displayed strong cytotoxic activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 0.38 to 0.52 μM.

Two novel β-lactone-containing natural products, cystargolides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the actinomycete Kitasatospora cystarginea. The production of these two natural products was highlighted using a methodology associating liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analysis and the statistical analysis tool principal component analysis (PCA). Their structures were elucidated by interpretation of NMR experiments and tandem mass spectrometry. The absolute configurations of the amino acid residues were determined using Marfey's method, and the relative configurations of the β-lactone substituents were determined on the basis of the vicinal 3JHH coupling value. Due to the presence of the β-lactone, 1 and 2 were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the human 20S proteasome. 1 and 2 both inhibited the 20S proteasome in vitro with IC50 values of 0.35 and 0.93 μM, respectively.

To improve the amino acid production by metabolic engineering, eliminating the pathway bottleneck is known to be very effective. The metabolic response of Methylophilus methylotrophus upon the addition of glucose and of pyruvate was investigated in batch cultivation. We found that the supply of pyruvate is a bottleneck in L-lysine production in M. methylotrophus from methanol as carbon source. M. methylotrophus has a ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) pathway for methanol assimilation, and consequently synthesized fructose-6-phosphate is metabolized to pyruvate via the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway, and the ED pathway is thought to be the main pathway for pyruvate supply. An L-lysine producer of M. methylotrophus with an enhanced ED pathway was constructed by the introduction of the E. coli edd-eda operon encoding the enzyme involving the ED pathway. In this strain, the overall enzymatic activity of ED pathway, which is estimated by measuring the activities of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase plus 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase, was about 20 times higher than in the parent. This strain produced 1.2 times more L-lysine than the parent producer. Perhaps, then, the supply of pyruvate was a bottleneck in L-lysine production in the L-lysine producer of M. methylotrophus.

l-Tert-leucine (Tle) and l-3-hydroxyadamantylglycine of (HAG) are important intermediates for a variety of pharmaceutical classes. They were asymmetrically produced from corresponding keto acids using branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT) with l-glutamate (Glu) as an amino donor. For the production of l-Tle and l-HAG, BCAT from Enterobacter sp. TL3 (BCATen) and BCAT from Escherichia coli K12 (ilvE, newly named as BCATes) were used, respectively. In our current study, we characterized the basic properties of BCATen and BCATes such as substrate specificity, enantioselectivity, and kinetic parameters. The activities of BCATen and BCATes were inhibited severely by α-ketoglutarate which is a deaminated product of l-Glu. In the presence of 10 mM α-ketoglutarate, both enzymes activities were reduced up to 80%. In order to overcome product inhibition by α-ketoglutarate and the problem of equilibrium of the transamination reaction, coupling reactions were carried out with l-glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH)/formate dehydrogenase (FDH) and AspAT. The coupling reaction dramatically increased the yields of both target compounds. 135 mM of l-Tle (>99% ee) was produced from 150 mM corresponding keto acid in BCATen/GDH/FDH coupling reaction with 90% conversion. In addition, 90.5 mM l-HAG (>99% ee) was produced from 100 mM corresponding keto acid in BCATes/AspAT coupling reaction using recombinant whole-cells.
