Himalaquinones A-G, seven new anthraquinone-derived metabolites, were obtained from the Himalayan-based sp. PU-MM59. The chemical structures of the new compounds were identified based on cumulative analyses of HRESIMS and NMR spectra. Himalaquinones A-F were determined to be unique anthraquinones that contained unusual C-4a 3-methylbut-3-enoic acid aromatic substitutions, while himalaquinone G was identified as a new 5,6-dihydrodiol-bearing angucyclinone. Comparative bioactivity assessment (antimicrobial, cancer cell line cytotoxicity, impact on 4E-BP1 phosphorylation, and effect on axolotl embryo tail regeneration) revealed cytotoxic landomycin and saquayamycin analogues to inhibit 4E-BP1p and inhibit regeneration. In contrast, himalaquinone G, while also cytotoxic and a regeneration inhibitor, did not affect 4E-BP1p status at the doses tested. As such, this work implicates a unique mechanism for himalaquinone G and possibly other 5,6-dihydrodiol-bearing angucyclinones.
希马拉醌 A-G,七种新的蒽醌衍生代谢产物,从喜马拉雅为基础的 种。PU-MM59 中获得。根据 HRESIMS 和 NMR 光谱的累积分析,确定了新化合物的化学结构。希马拉醌 A-F 被确定为具有独特的蒽醌,含有不寻常的 C-4a 3-甲基丁-3-烯酸芳香取代基,而希马拉醌 G 被鉴定为一种具有新的 5,6-二氢二醇的蒽环酮。比较生物活性评估(抗菌、癌细胞系细胞毒性、对 4E-BP1 磷酸化的影响和对蝾螈胚胎尾再生的影响)表明,细胞毒性的 landomycin 和 saquayamycin 类似物抑制 4E-BP1p 并抑制再生。相比之下,希马拉醌 G 虽然也具有细胞毒性和再生抑制剂的作用,但在测试剂量下不会影响 4E-BP1p 状态。因此,这项工作暗示了希马拉醌 G 可能还有其他具有 5,6-二氢二醇的蒽环酮的独特作用机制。
