Bromophenol coupled with diketopiperazine from marine red alga symphyocladia latiuscula

2-(2,3,6-Tribromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzyl)hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1, 4-dione (1), a new bromophenol C-N coupled with diketopiperazine, was isolated from the ethanol extract of marine red alga Symphyocladia latiuscula. Its structure was elucidated by s

Leveraging Peptaibol Biosynthetic Promiscuity for Next-Generation Antiplasmodial Therapeutics

Malaria remains a worldwide threat, afflicting over 200 million people each year. The emergence of drug resistance against existing therapeutics threatens to destabilize global efforts aimed at controlling Plasmodium spp. parasites, which is expected to leave vast portions of humanity unprotected against the disease. To address this need, systematic testing of a fungal natural product extract library assembled through the University of Oklahoma Citizen Science Soil Collection Program has generated an initial set of bioactive extracts that exhibit potent antiplasmodial activity (EC50 25 μM, selectivity index > 250). The unique chemodiversity afforded by these fungal isolates serves to unlock new opportunities for translating peptaibols into a bioactive scaffold worthy of further development.

Cyclic tetrapeptides from the marine strain Streptomyces sp. PNM-161a with activity against rice and yam phytopathogens

Two cyclotetrapeptides, henceforth named Provipeptides A (1) and B (2), along with five known diketopiperazines (3–7) were isolated from the liquid culture of marine Streptomyces sp. 161a recovered from a sample of sea grass Bryopsis sp. The structures of cyclotetrapeptides and diketopiperazines (DKPs) were established by 1D and 2D NMR data, MS, and by comparison with literature data. The absolute stereochemistry of compounds cyclo-(l-Pro-l-Leu-d-Pro-l-Phe) 1 and cyclo-(-Pro-Ile-Pro-Phe) 2 was established by the Marfey’s method. Compound 1 showed antibacterial activity against rice phytopathogenic strains Burkholderia glumae (MIC = 1.1 mM) and Burkholderia gladioli (MIC = 0.068 mM), compound 2 was active only against B. glumae (MIC = 1.1 mM), and DKP cyclo-[l-Pro-l-Leu] 5 showed to be active against B. gladioli (MIC = 0.3 mM) and B. glumae (MIC = 2.4 mM). Compounds 1 and 2 showed 65% and 50% inhibition of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (yam pathogen) conidia germination, respectively at a concentration of 1.1 mM.

Cytotoxic and antimicrobial compounds from the marine-derived fungus, penicillium species

The organic extract of liquid cultures of the marine-derived Penicillium sp. was investigated. Fractionation of the extracts of the fungus led to the purification and identification of two new compounds, penicillatides A (1) and B (2), together with the previously reported cyclo(R-Pro–S-Phe) (3) and cyclo(R-Pro–R-Phe) (4). The structures of compounds 1–4 were assigned by extensive interpretation of their NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities of the compounds against three human cancer cell lines as well as their antimicrobial activity against several pathogens were evaluated. Compounds 2–4 displayed variable cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities.

Streptopyrazinones A?D, rare metabolites from marine-derived Streptomyces sp. ZZ446

Secondary metabolites from marine-associated actinomycetes are important source for the discovery of novel bioactive compounds. In this study, an actinomycete Streptomyces sp. ZZ446 was isolated from coastal soils and different media were used to culture this isolated marine actinomycete. It has been found that this actinomycete in the liquid medium of 2216 E with sea salt produced five new compounds of streptopyrazinones A?D (1–4) and N-acetyl-L-isoleucine-L-leucinamide (5) as well as six known diketopiperazines (6–11) and one alkaloid (12). Structures of the new compounds were determined by extensive NMR analyses, HRESIMS data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation, chemical degradation, Marfey's method, and X-ray diffraction analysis. This type of streptopyrazinones A?D (1–4) is rarely found in the natural resources. New compounds 1–5 showed activity in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Stylissamide I, a new cyclic heptapeptide from an okinawan marine sponge Stylissa sp.

A new cyclic heptapeptide, stylissamide I (1), was isolated from an Okinawan marine sponge Stylissa sp. The structure of stylissamide I (1) was elucidated to be cyclo-(L-Tyr1-L-Tyr2-L-Tyr3-L-Pro1-L-Pro2-L-Val-L-Pro3) by extensive spectral analyses and Marfey's method. Stylissamide I (1) showed antifungal activity against Aspergillus Niger.

Diketopiperazines from Costa Rican endolichenic fungus Colpoma sp. CR1465A

Three new diketopiperazines (1-3), cyclo(l-Pro-d-trans-Hyp) (1), cyclo(l-Pro-d-Glu) (2), and cyclo(d-Pro-d-Glu) (3) and five known diketopiperazines (4-8) were isolated from the endolichenic fungus Colpoma sp. CR1465A identified from the Costa Rican plant Henriettea tuberculosa (Melatomataceae). The structures of the new compounds 1-3 were elucidated using a combination of extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 2D NMR and HR-MS, and their absolute configurations were determined by a combination of NOESY analysis and Marfey's method. Cyclo(l-Pro-d-allo-Thr) (4) was recently isolated from a South China Sea marine sponge Callyspongia sp., but its NMR spectroscopic data were not reported, and cyclo(l-Pro-l-Asp) (5) was previously reported but only as a synthetic product. The NMR data assignments of compounds 4 and 5 are reported for the first time. All of the isolated compounds were tested for antifungal and antimicrobial properties.

A new cyclohexapeptide, penitropeptide and a new polyketide, penitropone from the endophytic fungus Penicillium tropicum

The first chemical investigation of the endophytic fungus Penicillium tropicum isolated from leaves of Sapium ellipticum afforded a new cyclohexapeptide, penitropeptide (1), and a new polyketide, penitropone (2), in addition to two known compounds, 6-hydr

Variochelins, Lipopeptide Siderophores from Variovorax boronicumulans Discovered by Genome Mining

Photoreactive siderophores have a major impact on the growth of planktonic organisms. To date, these molecules have mainly been reported from marine bacteria, although evidence is now accumulating that some terrestrial bacteria also harbor the biosynthetic potential for their production. In this paper, we describe the genomics-driven discovery and characterization of variochelins, lipopeptide siderophores from the bacterium Variovorax boronicumulans, which thrives in soil and freshwater habitats. Variochelins are different from most other lipopeptide siderophores in that their biosynthesis involves a polyketide synthase. We demonstrate that the ferric iron complex of variochelin A possesses photoreactive properties and present the MS-derived structures of two degradation products that emerge upon light exposure.

[1-8-NαlC]-Zanriorb A1, a Proapoptotic Orbitide from Leaves of Zanthoxylum riedelianum

A new orbitide named [1-8-NαC]-zanriorb A1 (1) was isolated and characterized from the leaves of Zanthoxylum riedelianum using NMR and mass spectrometry. The absolute configuration of the amino acids was determined using Marfey's method on the acid hydrolysates. Compound 1 induced cell death by apoptosis in Jurkat leukemia T cells (IC50 218 nM).
