Marine actinomycetes are prolific chemical sources of complex and novel natural products, providing an excellent chance for new drug discovery. The chemical investigation of the marine-derived sp. ITBB-ZKa6, from Zhaoshu island, Hainan, led to the discovery of two unique antimycin-type depsipeptides, zhaoshumycins A () and B (), along with the isolation of the four known neoantimycins A (), F (), D (), and E (). The structures of the new compounds and were elucidated on the basis of the analysis of diverse spectroscopic data and biogenetic consideration. Zhaoshumycins A () and B () represent a new class of depsipeptides, featuring two neoantimycin monomers (only neoantimycin D or neoantimycins D and E) linked to a 1,4-disubstituted benzene ring via an imino group. Initial toxicity tests of - in MCF7 human breast cancer cells revealed that compounds and possess weak cytotoxic activity. Further structure-activity relationship analysis suggested the importance of the NH group at C-34 in and for cytotoxicity in MCF7 cells.
海洋放线菌是复杂和新颖天然产物的丰富化学来源,为新药发现提供了极好的机会。对海南赵树岛海洋来源的 sp. ITBB-ZKa6 的化学研究发现了两种独特的安密霉素型去肽,分别为 zhaoshumycins A () 和 B (),同时还分离出了四种已知的 neoantimycins A (), F (), D () 和 E ()。新化合物和的结构是根据各种光谱数据分析和生物发生考虑得出的。Zhaoshumycins A () 和 B () 代表了一类新的去肽,其特征在于两个 neoantimycin 单体(仅 neoantimycin D 或 neoantimycins D 和 E)通过亚氨基连接到 1,4-取代的苯环上。在 MCF7 人乳腺癌细胞中的毒性测试表明,化合物和具有较弱的细胞毒性活性。进一步的结构-活性关系分析表明,化合物和中 C-34 上的 NH 基团对于 MCF7 细胞的细胞毒性很重要。
