strain as an inhibitor of tumor cell invasion, and the absolute con-
figurations of all five asymmetric centers in this molecule were
established on the basis of J-based configuration analyses and
NOESY analysis, coupled with chemical derivatization and chiral
anisotropy analysis. Linear polyketides with a d-lactone terminus
have been reported from various organisms including actinomy-
cetes,29 myxobacteria,30 fungi,31 slime molds,32 marine sponges,33
and colonial ascidians.34 Although a wide range of bioactivity
was reported for this class of natural products, pterocidin (1) rep-
resents the first example of invasion inhibitor, providing a new
template for the development of antiinvasive agents.

21. Calcium borohydride is used to synthesize diols from a,b-unsaturated lactones
without reducing the conjugated C–C double bond.19,20 However, in case of
pterocidin, reduction with Ca(BH4)2 gave the C-2–C-3-reduced diol (4) as a major
product. The ratio of 4 to C-2–C-3-unsaturated diol varied depending on the
reaction solvent. The ratio was 5:2 in MeOH, 2:1 in 2-propanol, and 1:1 in THF.
22. Reduction of 1 to yield 4: Calcium borohydride bis(tetrahydrofuran) (1.6 mg,
7.4 lmol) was added to a solution of 1 (1.5 mg, 3.7 lmol) in MeOH (200 ll) at
room temperature, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h. The reaction
was quenched by the addition of several drops of water, and the mixture was
extracted with EtOAc. The EtOAc layer was concentrated under reduced
pressure to give a mixture of 4 and C-2–C-3-unsaturated diol in a ratio of 5:2
(1.1 mg, 72% yield). This mixture was employed to the next reaction without
further purification. 4:1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) d 0.90 (3H, d, J = 7.0 Hz, H-22),

a depth ꢀ44.5 m in Otsuchi Bay, Iwate, Japan in 2006 by using Smith–McIntyre
grab. The strain was identified as a member of the genus Streptomyces on the
basis of 98.1% 16S rRNA gene sequence (1409 nucleotides; DDBJ accession
number AB666472) identity with Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp.
crystallogenes NBRC 16551 (accession number AB184723).
