Two new p-methoxyphenyl-type derivatives from a saline-lake derived Streptomyces sp. XZB32.

ABSTRACT

Two new p-methoxyphenyl-type derivatives cytchloramol (1) and cytoxazinanone (2), along with six known compounds (3-8) were identified from the chemical investigations of a saline lake actinomycete, Streptomyces sp. XZB32. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive NMR spectroscopic analysis, HRESIMS data, GIAO (gauge-including atomic orbitals) NMR, specific optical rotation (SOR) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Cytotoxicity evaluation of the two new compounds showed that compound 1 exhibited significant activity against HCT-116 and MDA-MB-231 human cancer cell line with IC50 values of 2.7 ± 0.07 µM and 1.54 ± 0.14 µM, respectively.
