Ohmyungsamycins A and B (1 and 2), which are new cyclic peptides, were isolated from a marine bacterial strain belonging to the Streptomyces genus collected from a sand beach on Jeju, a volcanic island in the Republic of Korea. Based on the interpretation of the NMR, UV, and IR spectroscopic and MS data, the planar structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated as cyclic depsipeptides bearing unusual amino acid units, including N-methyl-4-methoxytrytophan, β-hydroxyphenylalanine, and N,N-dimethylvaline. The absolute configurations of the α-carbons of the amino acid residues were determined using the advanced Marfey's method. The configurations of the additional stereogenic centers at the β-carbons of the threonine, N-methylthreonine, and β-hydroxyphenylalanine units were assigned by GITC (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl- β-d-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate) derivatization and the modified Mosher's method. We have developed a new method utilizing PGME (phenylglycine methyl ester) derivatization coupled with chromatographic analysis to determine the absolute configuration of N,N-dimethylvaline. Our first successful establishment of the absolute configuration of N,N-dimethylvaline using PGME will provide a general and convenient analytical method for determining the absolute configurations of amino acids with fully substituted amine groups. Ohmyungsamycins A and B showed significant inhibitory activities against diverse cancer cells as well as antibacterial effects.

Two new cyclodepsipeptides (1 and 2), two new sesquiterpenoids (3 and 4), and the known compounds guangomide A (5), roseotoxin S, and three simple trichothecenes were isolated from the cytotoxic organic extract of a terrestrial filamentous fungus, Trichothecium sp. The structures were determined using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Absolute configurations of the cyclodepsipeptides were established by employing chiral HPLC, while the relative configurations of 3 and 4 were determined via NOESY data. The isolation of guangomide A was of particular interest, since it was reported previously from a marine-derived fungus.

Grassypeptolides A-C (1-3), a group of closely related bis-thiazoline containing cyclic depsipeptides, have been isolated from extracts of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya confervoides. Although structural differences between the analogues are minimal, comparison of the in vitro cytotoxicity of the series revealed a structure-activity relationship. When the ethyl substituent of 1 is changed to a methyl substituent in 2, activity is only slightly reduced (3-4-fold), whereas inversion of the Phe unit flanking the bis-thiazoline moiety results in 16-23-fold greater potency. We show that both 1 and 3 cause G1 phase cell cycle arrest at lower concentrations, followed at higher concentrations by G2/M phase arrest, and that these compounds bind Cu2+ and Zn 2+. The three-dimensional structure of 2 was determined by MS, NMR, and X-ray crystallography, and the structure of 3 was established by MS, NMR, and chemical degradation. The structure of 3 was explored by in silico molecular modeling, revealing subtle differences in overall conformation between 1 and 3. Attempts to interconvert 1 and 3 with base were unsuccessful, but enzymatic conversion may be possible and could be a novel form of activation for chemical defense.
