Thiolutin and 2,2-dioxidothiolutin are sulfur-containing antibiotics discovered through a targeted high-throughput screening strategy designed to identify compounds with antimicrobial activity. The producing strain, JHD1, is an actinomycete isolated from marine sediment collected in Chonburi Province, Thailand. Chemotaxonomic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain JHD1 belongs to the genus Streptomyces. Taxonomic analysis using a polyphasic approach further supported its placement within the genus Streptomyces. The strain exhibited low similarity to its closest known relatives, Streptomyces alkaliterrae OF1 and Streptomyces chumphonensis KK1-2, with average nucleotide identity based on MuMmer ultra-rapid aligning tool (ANIm) values of 85.7-86.2%, average amino acid identity (AAI) values of 71.8-78.1%, and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of 23.4-25.0%, all well below the established thresholds for species delineation. These results reveal that strain JHD1 represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces marinisediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The crude extract obtained from the culture broth of strain JHD1 exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and led to the discovery of two promising secondary metabolites, thiolutin and 2,2-dioxidothiolutin, along with 8-amino-2H-benz[e][1,3]oxazine-2,4(3H)-dione, benadrostin, 2,3-dihydroxybenzamide, and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzamide. In this study, 2,2-dioxidothiolutin was structurally confirmed for the first time by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Interestingly, thiolutin demonstrated strong anti-human small cell lung cancer (NCI-H187) activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 0.35 µg/mL, and also showed cytotoxicity against human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, with an IC₅₀ value of 5.61 µg/mL.
硫藤黄素和2,2 - 二氧代硫藤黄素是通过旨在鉴定具有抗菌活性化合物的靶向高通量筛选策略发现的含硫抗生素。产生菌株JHD1是从泰国春武里府收集的海洋沉积物中分离出的放线菌。化学分类特征和16S rRNA基因序列分析表明,菌株JHD1属于链霉菌属。采用多相分类方法进行的分类分析进一步支持了其在链霉菌属中的分类地位。该菌株与其最接近的已知亲缘种,即碱土链霉菌OF1和春蓬链霉菌KK1 - 2,相似度较低,基于MuMmer超快速比对工具(ANIm)的平均核苷酸同一性值为85.7 - 86.2%,平均氨基酸同一性(AAI)值为71.8 - 78.1%,数字DNA - DNA杂交(dDDH)值为23.4 - 25.0%,均远低于确定物种界限的既定阈值。这些结果表明,菌株JHD1代表链霉菌属中的一个新物种,为此提出了新名称海洋沉积物链霉菌(Streptomyces marinisediminis sp. nov.)。从菌株JHD1的培养液中获得的粗提物对革兰氏阳性菌表现出较强的抗菌活性,并导致发现了两种有前景的次级代谢产物,硫藤黄素和2,2 - 二氧代硫藤黄素,以及8 - 氨基 - 2H - 苯并[e][1,3]恶嗪 - 2,4(3H) - 二酮、贝纳多菌素、2,3 - 二羟基苯甲酰胺和2 - 羟基 - 3 - 甲氧基苯甲酰胺。在本研究中,首次通过X射线晶体学分析对2,2 - 二氧代硫藤黄素的结构进行了确认。有趣的是,硫藤黄素对人小细胞肺癌(NCI - H187)表现出较强的活性,IC₅₀值为0.35 μg/mL,对人乳腺癌(MCF - 7)细胞也表现出细胞毒性,IC₅₀值为5.61 μg/mL。
