ABSTRACT
Chemical investigation of Australian pasture plant-derived Streptomyces sp. CMB-PB041, supported by miniaturized cultivation profiling and molecular network analysis, led to the isolation and characterization of 13 new macrocyclic spirotetronates, glenthmycins A-M (1-13), with structures assigned by detailed spectroscopic analysis, chemical degradation and derivatization, and mechanistic and biosynthetic considerations. Hydrolysis of glenthmycin B (2) yielded the aglycone 14, whose structure and absolute configuration were secured by X-ray analysis, along with the unexpected amino sugar residues glenthose lactams A (15) and B (16), with Mosher analysis of 15 facilitating assignment of absolute configurations of the amino sugar. While the glenthmycins proved to be acid stable, treatment of isomeric glenthmycins (i.e., 3, 6, and 8) with base catalyzed rapid intramolecular trans-esterification to regio-isomeric mixtures (i.e., 3 + 6 + 8). Exposure of 5 to base achieved the same intramolecular trans-esterification and was instrumental in detecting and tentatively identifying two additional minor co-metabolites, glenthmycins N (19) and O (20). A structure-activity relationship analysis carried out on 1-13 and the semisynthetic analogues 14 and 21-26 revealed a promising Gram +ve antibacterial pharmacophore, effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), but with no detectable cytotoxicity to eukaryotic cells (i.e., fungal and human carcinoma). Of particular note, the semisynthetic analogue glenthmycin K 9-valerate (26) was unique among glenthmycins in potently inhibiting growth of the full panel of Gram +ve pathogens (IC50 0.2-1.6 µM). We conclude with an observation that any future evaluation of the antibacterial potential of glenthmycins and related macrocyclic spirotetronates may do well to include important soil-derived Gram +ve pathogens, such as Bacillus anthrax, Clostridium botulinum, and Rhodococcus equi, the causative agents of anthrax, botulism, and livestock pneumonia.
