Three related new alkylphenols, termed anaephenes A-C (1-3), containing different side chains, were isolated from an undescribed filamentous cyanobacterium (VPG 16-59) collected in Guam. Our 16S rDNA sequencing efforts indicated that VPG 16-59 is a member of the marine genus Hormoscilla (Oscillatoriales). The structures of anaephenes A-C (1-3) were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, and compounds assayed for growth inhibitory activity against prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell lines. Anaephene B (2), possessing a terminal alkyne, displayed moderate activity against Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values of 6.1 μg/mL. While 1 and 3 showed no pronounced activity in these assays, their structural features highlight the unusual biosynthetic capacity of this cyanobacterium and warrant further study.
从关岛采集的一种未描述的丝状蓝藻(VPG 16-59)中分离出三种相关的新型烷基酚,分别称为 anaephenes A-C(1-3),它们含有不同的侧链。我们的 16S rDNA 测序结果表明,VPG 16-59 是海洋属 Hormoscilla(Oscillatoriales)的成员。anaephenes A-C(1-3)的结构通过光谱方法阐明,并对其抑制真核和原核细胞系生长的活性进行了测定。具有末端炔烃的 anaephene B(2)对蜡状芽孢杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌显示出中等的活性,MIC 值分别为 6.1μg/mL。虽然 1 和 3 在这些测定中没有表现出明显的活性,但它们的结构特征突出了这种蓝藻的异常生物合成能力,值得进一步研究。
