RESUMO
Cultivation of the marine-derived streptomycete isolate B8005 delivered three known antibiotics, resistomycin (1), resistoflavin (3a) and tetracenomycin (4), and a further member of the rare resistomycin class, the weakly antibiotically active 1-hydroxy-1-norresistomycin (2). From a related marine strain B4842, 1 and resistoflavin methyl ether (3b) have been isolated. The formation of 2 is of interest from a biosynthetic point of view.

Triterpenoid-based scaffolds betulinic acid (1a) and ursolic acid (1b), have been used for the generation of combinatorial libraries in parallel format using solid phase organic synthesis method. These templates have the potential for the synthesis and amplification of triterpenoid-based compounds with one and two-point diversity. This has been demonstrated by the synthesis of two small libraries comprising 18 derivatives each of betulinic acid and ursolic acid with structural diversity at C-3 and C-28 positions. The primary screening of antimalarial activity of these libraries against P. falciparum in vitro led to the identification of four compounds with 5 fold increase in the activity compared to betulinic and ursolic acids.
