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.

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.

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.

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.

An efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of cyclic tetrasubstituted-olefinic dehydroamino acid derivatives has been achieved with a Rh-ArcPhos catalyst, affording a series of α-acylamino-β-alkyl tetrahydropyranones with two contiguous chiral centers in up to 96% ee and 1000 TON.

Using genome mining, a new cytotoxic peptide named curacozole was isolated from Streptomyces curacoi. Through ESI-MS and NMR analyses, curacozole was determined to be a macrocyclic peptide containing two isoleucine, two thiazole and three oxazole moieties. Curacozole exhibited potent cytotoxic activity against HCT116 and HOS cancer cells. The proposed biosynthetic gene cluster of curacozole was identified and compared with that of the related compound YM-216391.

Four cyclic octapeptides, squamins C–F, were isolated from the seeds of Annona globiflora Schltdl. These compounds share part of their amino acid sequence, -Pro-Met(O)-Tyr-Gly-Thr-, with previously reported squamins A and B. Their structures were determined using NMR spectroscopic techniques together with quantum mechanical calculations (QM-NMR), ESI-HRMS data and a modified version of Marfey's chromatographic method. All compounds showed cytotoxic activity against DU-145 (human prostate cancer) and HeLa (human cervical carcinoma) cell lines. Clearly, A. globiflora is an important source of bioactive molecules, which could promote the sustainable exploitation of this undervalued specie.
