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

Three diketomorpholines from a Penicillium sp. (strain G1071)

Three previously undescribed diketomorpholine natural products, along with the known phenalenones, herqueinone and norherqueinone, were isolated from the mycoparasitic fungal strain G1071, which was identified as a Penicillium sp. in the section Sclerotiora. The structures were established by analyzing NMR data and mass spectrometry fragmentation patterns. The absolute configurations of deacetyl-javanicunine A, javanicunine C, and javanicunine D, were assigned by examining ECD spectra and Marfey's analysis. The structural diversity generated by this fungal strain was interesting, as only a few diketomorpholines (~17) have been reported from nature.

Identification of an Anti-MRSA Cyclic Lipodepsipeptide, WBP-29479A1, by Genome Mining of Lysobacter antibioticus

Lysobacter are ubiquitous in the environment but remain largely underexplored, although the bacteria are considered "peptide specialists". Here, we identified a new cyclic lipodepsipeptide, WBP-29479A1 (1), through genome mining of L. antibioticus ATCC 29479. 1 is biosynthesized by a large NRPS gene cluster, and its structure, including the six nonproteinogenic residues and 3-hydroxy fatty acid, was determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses and chemical derivatization. 1 exhibits potent anti-MRSA activity in a menaquinone-dependent manner.

Natural Hydroxamate-Containing Siderophore Acremonpeptides A-D and an Aluminum Complex of Acremonpeptide D from the Marine-Derived Acremonium persicinum SCSIO 115

Four new hydroxamate-containing natural product cyclopeptides designated acremonpeptides A-D (1-4), together with Al(III)-acremonpeptide D (5) were obtained from the marine fungus Acremonium persicinum SCSIO 115. The planar structures of 1-5 were established on the basis of HRMS as well as 1D and 2D NMR data sets. Moreover, the amino acid absolute configurations were determined using Marfey's method. Compounds 1-5 all feature three 2-amino-5-(N-hydroxyacetamido)pentanoic acid (N5-hydroxy-N5-acetyl-l-ornithine) metal ion chelating moieties. Beyond their discovery and structure elucidation, in vitro bioassays revealed acremonpeptides A (1), B (2), and Al(III)-acremonpeptide D (5) as moderate antiviral agents for herpes simplex virus 1 with EC50 values of 16, 8.7, and 14 μM, respectively.

Stereochemistry and conformation of skyllamycin, a non-ribosomally synthesized peptide from streptomyces sp. Acta 2897

Skyllamycin is a non-ribosomally synthesized cyclic depsipeptide from Streptomyces sp. Acta 2897 that inhibits PDGF-signaling. The peptide scaffold contains an N-terminal cinnamoyl moiety, a β-methylation of aspartic acid, three β-hydroxylated amino acids and one rarely occurring α-hydroxy glycine. With the exception of α-hydroxy glycine, the stereochemistry of the amino acids was assigned by comparison to synthetic reference amino acids applying chiral GC-MS and Marfey-HPLC analysis. The stereochemistry of α-hydroxy glycine, which is unstable under basic and acidic conditions, was determined by conformational analysis, employing a combination of data from NOESY-NMR spectroscopy, simulated annealing and free MD simulations. The simulation procedures were applied for both R- and S-configured α-hydroxy glycine of the skyllamycin structure and compared to the NOESY data. Both methods, simulated annealing and free MD simulations independently support S-configured α-hydroxy glycine thus enabling the assignment of all stereocenters in the structure of skyllamycin and devising the role of two-component flavin dependent monooxygenase (Sky39) as S-selective.

Purification, structural elucidation and bioactivity of tryptophan containing diketopiperazines, from Comamonas testosteroni associated with a rhabditid entomopathogenic nematode against major human-pathogenic bacteria

The cell free culture filtrate of a Comamonas testosteroni associated with an Entomopathogenic nematode (EPN), Rhabditis (Oscheius) sp. exhibited promising antimicrobial activity. The ethyl acetate extract of the bacterial culture filtrate was purified by
