A Cyclohexapeptide and Its Rare Glycosides from Marine Sponge-Derived Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-4539.

Pyridapeptide A (1), a cyclohexapeptide containing hexahydropyridazine-3-carboxylic acid (HPDA), 5-hydroxytetrahydropyridazine-3-carboxylic acid (γ-OH-TPDA), and (2S,3R,4E,6E)-2-amino-3-hydroxy-8-methylnona-4,6-dienoic acid residues, and its four glycopeptides, pyridapeptides B-E (2-5, respectively), were isolated from the fermentation broth of the marine sponge-derived Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-4539. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. Pyridapeptides B-E have one or more 2,3,6-trideoxyhexose sugar units glycosylated at the γ-OH-TPDA residue. The biosynthetic pathways were proposed on the basis of gene cluster analysis. Compounds 4 and 5, containing four sugar groups, displayed significant antiproliferative activity against five human cancer cell lines (PC9, MKN45, HepG2, HCT-116, and K562).

Cytotoxic Indolocarbazoles From a Marine-Derived Streptomyces Sp. OUCMDZ-5380.

Under the guidance of global natural product social molecular networking, three new indolocarbazoles named streptocarbazoles F-H (1-3), along with staurosporine (4) were isolated from the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-5380. Structures of streptocarbazoles F-H were, respectively, determined as N-demethyl-N-hexanoylstaurosporine (1), N-demethyl-N-(2-methyl-3-methoxypyridin-4-yl) staurosporine staurosporine (2), and 4-(N-demethylstaurosporine-N-yl)-1,2-dimethyl-3-methoxypyridinium (3) by spectroscopic analysis and electronic circular dichroism comparison with staurosporine. Compared with staurosporine (4), streptocarbazoles F-H (1-3) showed a selective antiproliferation of the acute myeloid leukemia cell line MV4-11 with the IC50 values of 0.81, 0.55, and 1.88 µM, respectively.
