Bulbimidazoles A-C, Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Alkanoyl Imidazoles from a Marine Gammaproteobacterium Microbulbifer Species

Three new alkanoyl imidazoles, designated bulbimidazoles A-C (1-3), were found from the culture extract of the gammaproteobacterium Microbulbifer sp. DC3-6 isolated from a stony coral of the genus Tubastraea. The absolute configuration of the anteiso-methyl substitution in 1 was established to be a mixture of (R)- and (S)-configurations in a ratio of 9:91 by applying the Ohrui-Akasaka method. Compounds 1-3 displayed unique broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria and fungi with MICs ranging from 0.78 to 12.5 μg/mL. They also exhibited cytotoxicity toward P388 murine leukemia cells with IC50 in the micromolar range.

Volatile lactones - (5S,S)-5-methyl-3-(methylalkyl)furan-2(5H)-ones - Identified in the submerged cultivation of Streptomyces avermitilis

Six new compounds have been identified in the volatile fractions produced during the submerged cultivation of Streptomyces avermitilis. By recording the GC/MS, GC/FTIR, CD, 1H and 13C NMR data and by performing chemical degradation experiments, these compounds were determined to be (5S,S)-5-methyl-3-(methylalkyl)furan-2(5H)-ones. Herein, the existence of volatile lactones with an anteiso structure of the side-chain is thus documented for the first time. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.
