RESUMEN
Covering: January to the end of December 2022This review covers the literature published in 2022 for marine natural products (MNPs), with 645 citations (633 for the period January to December 2022) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, the submerged parts of mangroves and other intertidal plants. The emphasis is on new compounds (1417 in 384 papers for 2022), together with the relevant biological activities, source organisms and country of origin. Pertinent reviews, biosynthetic studies, first syntheses, and syntheses that led to the revision of structures or stereochemistries, have been included. An analysis of NP structure class diversity in relation to biota source and biome is discussed.

Pyrrole-containing natural products form a large group of structurally diverse compounds that occur in both terrestrial and marine organisms. In the present study the formation of trideuteromethylated artifacts of pyrrole-containing natural products was investigated, focusing on the discorhabdins. Three deuterated discorhabdins, 1, 3, and 5, were identified to be isolation procedure artifacts caused by the presence of DMSO-d6 during NMR sample preparation and handling. Three additional semisynthetic derivatives, 7-9, were made during the investigation of the mechanism of formation, which was shown to be driven by trideuteromethyl radicals in the presence of water, methanol, TFA, and traces of iron in the deuterated solvent. Generation of trideuteromethylated artifacts was also confirmed for other classes of pyrrole-containing metabolites, namely, makaluvamines, tambjamines, and dibromotryptamines, which had also been dissolved in DMSO-d6 during the structure elucidation process. Semisynthetic discorhabdins were assessed for antiproliferative activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines, and 14-trideuteromethyldiscorhabdin L (3) averaged low micromolar potency.

A library of naturally occurring and semi-synthetic discorhabdins was assessed for their effects on Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) cell viability. The set included five new natural products and semi-synthetic compounds whose structures were elucidated with NMR, HRMS, and ECD techniques. Several discorhabdins averaged sub-micromolar potency against the MCC cell lines tested and most of the active compounds showed selectivity towards virus-positive MCC cell lines. An investigation of structure-activity relationships resulted in an expanded understanding of the crucial structural features of the discorhabdin scaffold. Mechanistic cell death assays suggested that discorhabdins, unlike many other MCC-active small molecules, do not induce apoptosis, as shown by the lack of caspase activation, annexin V staining, and response to caspase inhibition. Similarly, discorhabdin treatment failed to increase MCC intracellular calcium and ROS levels. In contrast, the rapid loss of cellular reducing potential and mitochondrial membrane potential suggested that discorhabdins induce mitochondrial dysfunction leading to non-apoptotic cell death.

Covering: up to 2020The National Cancer Institute of the United States (NCI) has initiated a Cancer Moonshot program entitled the NCI Program for Natural Product Discovery. As part of this effort, the NCI is producing a library of 1 000 000 partially purified natural product fractions which are being plated into 384-well plates and provided to the research community free of charge. As the first 326 000 of these fractions have now been made available, this review seeks to describe the general methods used to collect organisms, extract those organisms, and create a prefractionated library. Importantly, this review also details both cell-based and cell-free bioassay methods and the adaptations necessary to those methods to productively screen natural product libraries. Finally, this review briefly describes post-screen dereplication and compound purification and scale up procedures which can efficiently identify active compounds and produce sufficient quantities of natural products for further pre-clinical development.

Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) are aggressive and heterogeneous cancers that lack targeted therapies. We implemented a screening program to identify new leads for subgroups of TNBC using diverse cell lines with different molecular drivers. Through this program, we identified an extract from Calotropis gigantea that caused selective cytotoxicity in BT-549 cells as compared to four other TNBC cell lines. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the BT-549 selective extract yielded nine cardenolides responsible for the selective activity. These included eight known cardenolides and a new cardenolide glycoside. Structure-activity relationships among the cardenolides demonstrated a correlation between their relative potencies toward BT-549 cells and Na+/K+ ATPase inhibition. Calotropin, the compound with the highest degree of selectivity for BT-549 cells, increased intracellular Ca2+ in sensitive cells to a greater extent than in the resistant MDA-MB-231 cells. Further studies identified a second TNBC cell line, Hs578T, that is also highly sensitive to the cardenolides, and mechanistic studies were conducted to identify commonalities among the sensitive cell lines. Experiments showed that both cardenolide-sensitive cell lines expressed higher mRNA levels of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger NCX1 than resistant TNBC cells. This suggests that NCX1 could be a biomarker to identify TNBC patients that might benefit from the clinical administration of a cardiac glycoside for anticancer indications.

An extract prepared from the fruit of Choerospondias axillaris exhibited differential cytotoxic effects when tested in a panel of pediatric cancer cell lines [Ewing sarcoma (A-673), rhabdomyosarcoma (SJCRH30), medulloblastoma (D283), and hepatoblastoma (Hep293TT)]. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the purification of five new hydroquinone-based metabolites, choerosponols A-E (1-5), bearing unsaturated hydrocarbon chains. The structures of the natural products were determined using a combination of 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, ECD spectroscopy, and Mosher ester analyses. The purified compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities, revealing that 1, which contains a benzofuran moiety, exhibited over 50-fold selective antiproliferative activity against Ewing sarcoma and medulloblastoma cells with growth inhibitory (GI50) values of 0.19 and 0.07 µM, respectively. The effects of 1 were evaluated in a larger panel of cancer cell lines, and these data were used in turn to interrogate the Project Achilles cancer dependency database, leading to the identification of the MCT1 transporter as a functional target of 1. These data highlight the utility of publicly available cancer dependency databases such as Project Achilles to facilitate the identification of the mechanisms of action of compounds with selective activities among cancer cell lines, which can be a major challenge in natural products drug discovery.

Two new cassaine-type diterpenoids, namely erythrofordins D (1) and E (2), sourced from a Cameroon collection of Erythrophleum suaveolens were isolated and assessed for anti-tumor activity. In the NCI-60 cancer cell assay, erythrofordins D (1) and E (2) were found to be cytotoxic in the low micro molar ranges with a mean GI50 value of 2.45 and 0.71⯵M, mean TGI value of 9.77 and 2.29⯵M, and a mean LC50 of 26.92 and 11.48⯵M for 1 and 2 respectively. Using the COMPARE algorithm, the new compounds were found to have similar NCI-60 response profiles to the known cardiac glycosides hyrcanoside and strophanthin. In addition, in an assay examining the viability and contractile function in human cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem-cells, erythrofordins showed cardiotoxicity effects at concentrations as low as 0.03⯵g/mL.

An extract of the plant Anacolosa clarkii was obtained from the NCI Natural Products Repository, and it showed cytotoxic activity toward several types of pediatric solid tumor cell lines. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the purification of eight new clerodane diterpenes [anacolosins A-F (1-6) and corymbulosins X and Y (7 and 8)] and two known compounds (9 and 10) that contained an isozuelanin skeleton. The structures of the new natural products were determined using 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS data, while the relative and absolute configurations of the compounds were assessed using a combination of 1H NMR coupling constant data, ROESY experiments, ECD (electronic circular dichroism) and VCD (vibrational circular dichroism) spectroscopy, chemical methods (including Mosher and 2-naphthacyl esterification), and chiral HPLC analyses. The purified natural products exhibited a range of cytotoxic activities against cell lines representing four pediatric cancer types (i.e., rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, medulloblastoma, and hepatoblastoma) with total growth inhibitory (TGI) values in the range 0.2-4.1 µM. The rhabdomyosarcoma and medulloblastoma cell lines showed higher sensitivity to compounds 1-4, which are the first compounds reported to contain an isozuelanin skeleton and feature keto carbonyl groups at the C-6 positions. In contrast, the hepatoblastoma cell line was modestly more sensitive to 7-10, which contained a C-6 hydroxy group moiety.

Microbial products are a promising source for drug leads as a result of their unique structural diversity. However, reisolation of already known natural products significantly hampers the discovery process, and it is therefore important to incorporate effective microbial isolate selection and dereplication protocols early in microbial natural product studies. We have developed a systematic approach for prioritization of microbial isolates for natural product discovery based on heteronuclear single-quantum correlation-total correlation spectroscopy (HSQC-TOCSY) nuclear magnetic resonance profiles in combination with antiplasmodial activity of extracts. The HSQC-TOCSY experiments allowed for unfractionated microbial extracts containing polyketide and peptidic natural products to be rapidly identified. Here, we highlight how this approach was used to prioritize extracts derived from a library of 119 ascidian-associated actinomycetes that possess a higher potential to produce bioactive polyketides and peptides.

The metabolite profiles of three sponge-derived actinomycetes, namely, Micromonospora sp. RV43, Rhodococcus sp. RV157, and Actinokineospora sp. EG49 were investigated after elicitation with N-acetyl-d-glucosamine. 1H NMR fingerprint methodology was utilized to study the differences in the metabolic profiles of the bacterial extracts before and after elicitation. Our study found that the addition of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine modified the secondary metabolite profiles of the three investigated actinomycete isolates. N-Acetyl-d-glucosamine induced the production of 3-formylindole (11) and guaymasol (12) in Micromonospora sp. RV43, the siderophore bacillibactin 16, and surfactin antibiotic 17 in Rhodococcus sp. RV157 and increased the production of minor metabolites actinosporins E-H (21-24) in Actinokineospora sp. EG49. These results highlight the use of NMR fingerprinting to detect changes in metabolism following addition of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine. N-Acetyl-d-glucosamine was shown to have multiple effects including suppression of metabolites, induction of new metabolites, and increased production of minor compounds.

Harnessing the inherent biological relevance of natural products requires a method for the recognition of biological effects that may subsequently lead to the discovery of particular targets. An unbiased multidimensional profiling method was used to examine the activities of natural products on primary cells derived from a Parkinson's disease patient. The biological signature of 482 natural products was examined using multiparametric analysis to investigate known cellular pathways and organelles implicated in Parkinson's disease such as mitochondria, lysosomes, endosomes, apoptosis, and autophagy. By targeting several cell components simultaneously the chance of finding a phenotype was increased. The phenotypes were then clustered using an uncentered correlation. The multidimensional phenotypic screening showed that all natural products, in our screening set, were biologically relevant compounds as determined by an observed phenotypic effect. Multidimensional phenotypic screening can predict the cellular function and subcellular site of activity of new compounds, while the cluster analysis provides correlation with compounds with known mechanisms of action. This study reinforces the value of natural products as biologically relevant compounds.

Inhibition of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) pathway by disrupting its association with the transcriptional coactivator p300 inhibits angiogenesis and tumor development. Development of HIF-1α/p300 inhibitors has been hampered by preclinical toxicity; therefore, we aimed to identify novel HIF-1α/p300 inhibitors. Using a cell-free assay designed to test compounds that block HIF-1α/p300 binding, 170â¯298 crude natural product extracts and prefractionated samples were screened, identifying 25 active extracts. One of these extracts, originating from the marine sponge Latrunculia sp., afforded six pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids that were identified as positive hits (IC50 values: 1-35 µM). Luciferase assays confirmed inhibition of HIF-1α transcriptional activity by discorhabdin B (1) and its dimer (2), 3-dihydrodiscorhabdin C (3), makaluvamine F (5), discorhabdin H (8), discorhabdin L (9), and discorhabdin W (11) in HCT 116 colon cancer cells (0.1-10 µM, p < 0.05). Except for 11, all of these compounds also reduced HIF-1α transcriptional activity in LNCaP prostate cancer cells (0.1-10 µM, p < 0.05). These effects occurred at noncytotoxic concentrations (<50% cell death) under hypoxic conditions. At the downstream HIF-1α target level, compound 8 (0.5 µM) significantly decreased VEGF secretion in LNCaP cells (p < 0.05). In COLO 205 colon cancer cells no activity was shown in the luciferase or cytotoxicity assays. Pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids are a novel class of HIF-1α inhibitors, which interrupt the protein-protein interaction between HIF-1α and p300 and consequently reduce HIF-related transcription.

(1)H NMR fingerprints were used as the guiding principle for the isolation of minor compounds related to the l-type amino acid transporter inhibitors venulosides A (1) and B (2). Two new monoterpene glycosides, namely, venulosides C (3) and D (4), were isolated from a Queensland collection of the plant Pittosporum venulosum. Compounds 3 and 4 were found to inhibit l-leucine transport in LNCaP cells with IC50 values of 11.47 and 39.73 µM, respectively. The venulosides are the first reported natural product inhibitors of leucine transport in prostate cancer cells, and the isolation of the minor compounds provides some early SAR information.

Covering: January 1990 to December 2012. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) still remains a deadly pathogen two decades after the announcement of tuberculosis (TB) as a global health emergency by the World Health Organization. In last few years new drug combinations have shown promising potential to significantly shorten TB treatment times. However there are very few new chemical entities being developed to treat this global threat. From January 1990 to December 2012, 949 anti-mycobacterium natural products were reported in the literature. Here we present a perspective based on an analysis of the drug-like properties of the reported anti-mycobacterium natural products in order to assess drug potential.

Marine sponge-associated actinomycetes represent an exciting new resource for the identification of new and novel natural products . Previously, we have reported the isolation and structural elucidation of actinosporins A (1) and B (2) from Actinokineospora sp. strain EG49 isolated from the marine sponge Spheciospongia vagabunda. Herein, by employing different fermentation conditions on the same microorganism, we report on the isolation and antioxidant activity of structurally related metabolites, actinosporins C (3) and D (4). The antioxidant potential of actinosporins C and D was demonstrated using the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Additionally, at 1.25 µM, actinosporins C and D showed a significant antioxidant and protective capacity from the genomic damage induced by hydrogen peroxide in the human promyelocytic (HL-60) cell line.

As part of a search for antitubercular substances from natural sources, we screened a library of endophytic microbes (50 strains and 300 crude extracts in total) isolated from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) for growth inhibitory activity against Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). The crude extract of Streptomyces sp. strain Y3111, which was associated with the stems of Heracleum souliei, showed good anti-BCG activity with an MIC value of 12.5 µg/mL. Bioassay-guided isolation led to four new pluramycin-type compounds, heraclemycins A-D (1-4). Their structures were determined by different spectroscopic techniques including HRMSESI, 1D NMR, and 2D NMR. This is the first report of pluramycin analogues produced by TCM endophytic microbes as well as the first example of BCG-selective pluramycins. Heraclemycin C (3) showed selective antitubercular activity against BCG with a MIC value of 6.25 µg/mL and a potential new mode of action.

Two sponge-derived actinomycetes, Actinokineospora sp. EG49 and Nocardiopsis sp. RV163, were grown in co-culture and the presence of induced metabolites monitored by ¹H NMR. Ten known compounds, including angucycline, diketopiperazine and ß-carboline derivatives 1-10, were isolated from the EtOAc extracts of Actinokineospora sp. EG49 and Nocardiopsis sp. RV163. Co-cultivation of Actinokineospora sp. EG49 and Nocardiopsis sp. RV163 induced the biosynthesis of three natural products that were not detected in the single culture of either microorganism, namely N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-acetamide (11), 1,6-dihydroxyphenazine (12) and 5a,6,11a,12-tetrahydro-5a,11a-dimethyl[1,4]benzoxazino[3,2-b][1,4]benzoxazine (13a). When tested for biological activity against a range of bacteria and parasites, only the phenazine 12 was active against Bacillus sp. P25, Trypanosoma brucei and interestingly, against Actinokineospora sp. EG49. These findings highlight the co-cultivation approach as an effective strategy to access the bioactive secondary metabolites hidden in the genomes of marine actinomycetes.

High resolution Fourier transform mass spectrometry (HRFTMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were employed as complementary metabolomic tools to dereplicate the chemical profile of the new and antitrypanosomally active sponge-associated bacterium Actinokineospora sp. EG49 extract. Principal Component (PCA), hierarchical clustering (HCA), and orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used to evaluate the HRFTMS and NMR data of crude extracts from four different fermentation approaches. Statistical analysis identified the best culture one-strain-many-compounds (OSMAC) condition and extraction procedure, which was used for the isolation of novel bioactive metabolites. As a result, two new O-glycosylated angucyclines, named actinosporins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the broth culture of Actinokineospora sp. strain EG49, which was cultivated from the Red Sea sponge Spheciospongia vagabunda. The structures of actinosporins A and B were determined by 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques, as well as high resolution tandem mass spectrometry. Testing for antiparasitic properties showed that actinosporin A exhibited activity against Trypanosoma brucei brucei with an IC50 value of 15 µM; however no activity was detected against Leishmania major and Plasmodium falciparum, therefore suggesting its selectivity against the parasite Trypanosoma brucei brucei; the causative agent of sleeping sickness.

A cell-based high-throughput screen that assessed the cellular stability of a tumor suppressor protein PDCD4 (Programmed cell death 4) was used to identify a new guanidine-containing marine alkaloid mirabilin K (3), as well as the known compounds mirabilin G (1) and netamine M (2). The structures of these tricyclic guanidine alkaloids were established from extensive spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited cellular degradation of PDCD4 with EC50 values of 1.8 µg/mL and 2.8 µg/mL, respectively. Mirabilin G (1) and netamine M (2) are the first marine natural products reported to stabilize PDCD4 under tumor promoting conditions.

Seven flavanones were identified from kino exudate of Corymbia torelliana by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods including UV, 1D and 2D NMR and UPLC-HR-MS. The study identified seven molecules, namely 3,4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone (1), 3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone (2), 4',5,7-trihydroxyflavanone (3), 3,4',5-trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (4), (+)-(2S)-4',5,7-trihydroxy-6-methylflavanone (5), 4',5,7-trihydroxy-6,8-dimethylflavanone (6) and 4',5-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (7) from this eucalypt species. This is the first report of these natural products from C. torelliana kino exudate.
