RESUMEN
Five new ß-alkylpyrrole derivatives, allostreptopyrroles A-E (1-5), were isolated from the culture broth of Allostreptomyces RD068384. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses, HRESIMS, and chemical derivatization. The absolute configurations of compounds 2 and 3 were predicted by comparison of experimental and calculated specific rotation data. Compounds 1-5 are the first examples of natural pyrroles substituted by formyl and carboxyl functionalities. Compounds 1, 4, and 5 showed cytotoxicity against Kasumi-1 human acute myeloblastic leukemia cells with IC50 values of 103, 105, and 105 µM, respectively, which are less active than the anticancer agent cisplatin, with an IC50 value of 70 µM.
RESUMEN
Sporangimicins A-D (1-4), four anomeric pairs of diacyl disaccharides that represent a new metabolite class, were discovered from the culture extract of an actinomycete Pseudosporangium sp. RD061809. Compounds 1-4 caused peak separation in the HPLC chromatogram and partial duplication of the NMR resonances by anomeric interconversion of a maltose core modified at the two sugar 6-positions with an isobutanoyl and a methyl-branched long-chain dienoyl groups. A highlight of the structure elucidation was application of Ohrui-Akasaka's method to a chromatographically inseparable mixture of 3 and 4, which proved the composition ratio of 3 and 4 to be 82:18 and the R/S ratio at the anteiso-methyl bearing chiral center in 3 to be 66:34. Compounds 1-4 showed antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and modest cytotoxicity toward P388 murine leukemia cells.
RESUMEN
A new polyketide, cladoic acid, was isolated from a fungus of the genus Cladosporium. The structure of the highly oxygenated trans-decalin ring with an all-E triene side chain was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The unique chair/twist-boat conformation of the trans-decalin core and the flexibility of the B-ring were demonstrated by computer-aided conformational analysis. Cladoic acid was active against Trypanosoma cruzi and inhibited the proliferation of amastigotes and epimastigotes with IC50 values of 27 and 46 µM, respectively, but it did not show any appreciable activity against P388 murine leukemia cells, bacteria, or fungi, indicating it is a potential candidate for drug development against Chagas disease.

Nuciferol C (NC), an undescribed dimer of nuciferol B (NB), was isolated from the endocarp of Cocos nucifera L. The planar structure of NC was determined using 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy as well as high resolution MS spectrometry. The absolute configuration was concluded based on analysis of NOESY spectra. NC showed cytotoxic activity against colon cancer cells (CaCo-2) with an IC50 value of 76 µM, and significantly decreased the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in CaCo-2 as compared with untreated cells by 39% and 33%, respectively (p < 0.05). In addition, NC exhibited anti-herpes simplex virus (HSV-I) activity with an IC50 value of 23 µM. In silico study of NC was implemented at three levels: density functional theory (DFT) was used to study its electronic properties, molecular mechanics was used to estimate the docking results, and finally, molecular dynamic simulation was used to study the behavior and stability of NC inside the active site of the target protein of HSV-1.
RESUMEN
Herbidospora is one of the underexplored actinomycete genera from which only a limited number of secondary metabolites are reported. In our continuing investigation on less explored actinomycetes, a liquid culture of Herbidospora sp. RD 11066 was found to contain unknown metabolites that had no match in our in-house UV database. Chromatographic separation and following structural analysis using NMR and MS identified these metabolites to be chromanone and chromene derivatives, which were respectively composed of an inseparable mixture of two isomeric forms. The former polyketides, designated to be herbidomicins A1 (1) and A2 (2), are positional isomers in terms of a methyl substituent on an aromatic ring that mutually interconvert by acetal exchange by two phenolic hydroxy groups. The latter pair, herbidomicins B1 (3) and B2 (4), is Z/E-isomers regarding an enol ether double bond. Herbidomicins 1-4 were weakly antifungal against a dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton rubrum and were moderately cytotoxic against murine leukemia P388 cells.
RESUMEN
Tricholomenyn B, an antimitotic geranylcyclohexenone originally discovered from a basidiomycete Tricholoma acerbum, was isolated as a bitter and antibacterial constituent from fruiting bodies of T. japonicum. Careful comparison of NMR, MS, and other physicochemical properties of the isolated substance with the literature values revised a previously proposed macrolide structure 1 to a macrodiolide 2. Compound 2 was perceived bitter at a minimum dose of 37.5 µg, showed weak antimicrobial activity against Kocuria rhizophila and Staphylococcus aureus, and was marginally cytotoxic (IC50 2.6 µM) against P388 murine leukemia cells.

Two novel actinobacteria, designated as LP05-1T and LP11T, were isolated from the lichen Pyxine cocoes (Sw.) Nyl. collected in Bangkok, Thailand. Genotypic and phenotypic analyses revealed that both strains represented members of the genus Streptomyces. The 16S rRNA gene of LP05-1T showed the highest similarity to the genome of Streptomyces gelaticus (98.41â%), while the 16S rRNA gene of LP11T was most similar to that of Streptomyces cinerochromogenes (98.93â%). The major menaquinones in LP05-1T were MK-9(H8), MK-9(H6), MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H2), and in LP11T, they were MK-9(H8) and MK-9(H6). Both strains exhibited the major fatty acids iso-C15â:â0, anteiso-C15â:â0, iso-C16â:â0 and anteiso-C17â:â0, with LP05-1T also possessing iso-C17â:â0. The polar lipids of LP05-1T included phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and an unidentified lipid, while those of LP11T consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, an unidentified aminolipid and an unidentified glycolipid. The digital DNA-DNA hybridisation (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values indicated that both strains are distinct from each other with values below 70 and 95â%, respectively. dDDH, ANI by blast (ANIb) and ANI by MUMmer (ANIm) values between LP05-1T and its closely related type strains were 26.07-26.80â%, 81.24-82.01â% and 86.82-86.96â%, respectively, while those for LP11T and its closely related type strains were 30.70-31.70â%, 84.09-85.31â% and 88.02-88.39â%, respectively. The results of the taxonomic investigation, including dDDH and ANI values, indicate that LP05-1T and LP11T are novel type strains of two novel species within the genus Streptomyces. The names proposed are Streptomyces pyxinae sp. nov. for strain LP05-1T (=TBRC 15494T, =NBRC 115434T) and Streptomyces pyxinicus sp. nov. for strain LP11T (=TBRC 15493T, =NBRC 115421T).

Virus entry inhibitors are emerging as an attractive class of therapeutics for the suppression of viral transmission. Naturally occurring pradimicin A (PRM-A) has received particular attention as the first-in-class entry inhibitor that targets N-glycans present on viral surface. Despite the uniqueness of its glycan-targeted antiviral activity, there is still limited knowledge regarding how PRM-A binds to viral N-glycans. Therefore, in this study, we performed binding analysis of PRM-A with synthetic oligosaccharides that reflect the structural motifs characteristic of viral N-glycans. Binding assays and molecular modeling collectively suggest that PRM-A preferentially binds to branched oligomannose motifs of N-glycans via simultaneous recognition of two mannose residues at the non-reducing ends. We also demonstrated, for the first time, that PRM-A can effectively inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in vitro. Significantly, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 effect of PRM-A is attenuated in the presence of the synthetic branched oligomannose, suggesting that the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection is due to the interaction of PRM-A with the branched oligomannose-containing N-glycans. These data provide essential information needed to understand the antiviral mechanism of PRM-A and suggest that PRM-A could serve as a candidate SARS-CoV-2 entry inhibitor targeting N-glycans.

A new polycyclic tetramate macrolactam designated allostreptamide (1), together with four known congeners, were isolated from the culture extract of Allostreptomyces RD068384. The planar structure of the new compound was elucidated through interpretation of NMR and MS data. The absolute configuration was determined through ROESY and ECD analyses. The isolated compounds revealed antifungal potential against fourteen Candida albicans isolates with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 64 to 2048 µg ml-1. Compound 3 showed antibiofilm action and considerably reduced the viability of five isolates (36%) in the formed biofilm. The qRT-PCR revealed that 3 downregulated the BCR1, PLB2, ALS1, and SAP5 biofilm related gene expression. Therefore, 3 could be a promising antifungal therapy for C. albicans infections.

A novel actinomycete, designated RD004123T, was isolated from a soil sample collected in Hokkaido, Japan, and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that strain RD004123T fell within the cluster of the family Micromonosporaceae but did not form a reliable cluster with any member of the family. The similarity values between strain RD004123T and the type species of 29 genera in the family Micromonosporaceae were 91.7-97.7â%. Meanwhile, phylogenomic analyses indicated that strain RD004123T was closely related to members of the genus Phytohabitans. Strain RD004123T contained both meso-diaminopimelic acid and l-lysine as the diagnostic diamino acids of the peptidoglycan. The predominant isoprenoid quinones were MK-10(H8) and MK-10(H6), and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C17â:ââ0, iso-C16â:ââ0, iso-C15â:ââ0 and C17â:ââ0. The detected polar lipids were phosphatidylinositol mannosides, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol. These chemotaxonomic features corresponded to those of the genus Phytohabitans. Meanwhile, the results of genome comparison analyses and phenotypic characterizations distinguished strain RD004123T from the other members of the genus Phytohabitans. Therefore, strain RD004123T should be assigned as representing a novel species of the genus Phytohabitans, for which the name Phytohabitans aurantiacus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RD004123T (=NBRC 114997T=DSM 114330T).

Two novel actinobacterial strains, designated RB6PN23T and K1PA1T, were isolated from peat swamp soil samples in Thailand and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strains were filamentous Gram-stain-positive bacteria containing ll-diaminopimelic acid in their whole-cell hydrolysates. Phylogenetic analysis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain RB6PN23T was most closely related to Streptomyces rubrisoli (99.1â% sequence similarity) and Streptomyces ferralitis (98.5%), while strain K1PA1T showed 98.8 and 98.7% sequence similarities to Streptomyces coacervatus and Streptomyces griseoruber, respectively. However, the average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were below the species-level thresholds (95-96â% ANI and 70â% dDDH). The genomes of strains RB6PN23T and K1PA1T were estimated to be 7.88 Mbp and 7.39 Mbp in size, respectively, with DNA G+C contents of 70.2 and 73.2 mol%. Moreover, strains RB6PN23T and K1PA1T encode 37 and 24 putative biosynthetic gene clusters, respectively, and in silico analysis revealed that these new species have a high potential to produce unique natural products. Genotypic and phenotypic characteristics confirmed that strains RB6PN23T and K1PA1T represented two novel species in the genus Streptomyces. The names proposed for these strains are Streptomyces silvisoli sp. nov. (type strain RB6PN23T=TBRC 17040T=NBRC 116113T) and Streptomyces tropicalis sp. nov. (type strain K1PA1T=TBRC 17041T=NBRC 116114T). Additionally, a giant linear polyene compound, neotetrafibricin A, exhibiting antifungal activity in strain RB6PN23T, was identified through HPLC and quadrupole time-of-flight MS analysis. The crude extract from the culture broth of strain RB6PN23T exhibited strong antifungal activity against Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium fujikuroi and Bipolaris zeicola. This finding suggests that strain RB6PN23T could be a promising candidate for biological control of fungal diseases.

A novel actinobacterium, designated as strain WRP15-2T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of rice plant (Oryza rufipogon). The strain was Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain WRP15-2T fell into the genus Saccharopolyspora. The strain shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the type strains Saccharopolyspora kobensis JCM 9109T (99.1%), Saccharopolyspora indica VRC122T (98.9%), and Saccharopolyspora antimicrobica DSM 45119T (98.7%). However, the digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values among these strains confirmed that the microorganism represented a novel member of the genus Saccharopolyspora. Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain WRP15-2T possessed MK-9(H4) as the predominant menaquinone. It contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diaminopimelic acid and arabinose, galactose, and ribose as predominant whole-cell sugars. The detected phospholipids were dominated by phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, and phosphatidylcholine. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C16:0, C16:0, and iso-C15:0. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 69.5%. Based on these genotypic and phenotypic data, it is supported that strain WRP15-2T represents a novel species of the genus Saccharopolyspora, for which the name Saccharopolyspora oryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WRP15-2T ( = TBRC 15728T = NBRC 115560T).

Two new naphthohydroquinone derivatives designated iseoic acids A (1) and B (2) and a new symmetrical glycerol bisester of naphthoquinonepropanoic acid designated bisiseoate (3) were isolated from the culture extract of a marine-derived actinomycete Streptomyces sp. DC4-5. The structures of 1-3 were determined by analyzing one- and two-dimensional NMR data and MS analytical data. The absolute configurations were determined by NOESY analysis and the phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME) method for 1 and by considering the structural similarity and biosynthesis for 2 and 3. Compound 3 exhibited modest cytotoxicity against P388 murine leukemia cells with an IC50 value of 19 µM.

After the successful discoveries of numerous antibiotics from microorganisms, frequent reisolation of known compounds becomes an obstacle in further development of new drugs from natural products. Exploration of biological sources that can provide novel scaffolds is thus an urgent matter in drug lead screening. As an alternative source to the conventionally used soil microorganisms, we selected endophytic actinomycetes, marine actinomycetes, and actinomycetes in tropical areas for investigation and found an array of new bioactive compounds. Furthermore, based on the analysis of the distribution pattern of biosynthetic gene clusters in bacteria together with available genomic data, we speculated that biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites are specific to each genus. Based on this assumption, we investigated actinomycetal and marine bacterial genera from which no compounds have been reported, which led to the discovery of a variety of skeletally novel bioactive compounds. These findings suggest that consideration of environmental factor and taxonomic position is critically effective in the selection of potential strains producing structurally unique compounds.

Two classes of new polyketides, allopteridic acids A-C (1-3) and allokutzmicin (4), were isolated from the culture extract of an actinomycete of the genus Allokutzneria. The structures of 1-4 were elucidated through the interpretation of NMR and MS analytical data. Compounds 1-3 possess the same carbon skeleton with pteridic acids but their monocyclic core structures are distinct from the spiro-bicyclic acetal structures of pteridic acids. Compound 4 is a linear polyketide of an unprecedented class, featured by a guanidino-terminus and an epoxide modification. Compounds 1-3 promoted the root elongation of germinated lettuce seeds by ca. 10-40% at 1~10 µM whereas 4 retarded the seed growth. Compound 4 exhibited weak antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans with MIC 25 µg mL-1.

Microbispofurans A-C (1-3), new alkyl/alkenyl furancarboxylic acids, were isolated from the culture extract of the plant root-derived Microbispora sp. RD004716. The planar structures of 1-3 were determined by extensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. Although 1-3 showed no appreciable antimicrobial activity or cytotoxicity, strong plant growth-promotion activity of the germinated red leaf lettuce seeds was observed at 10 µM. Furancarboxylic acids and their methyl esters were found in actinomycetes and fungi; however, the isolation of furandicarboxylic acid was unprecedented.

Ten samples of tropical lichens collected from Doi Inthanon, Thailand, were explored for the diversity of their bacterial microbiomes through 16S rRNA-based metagenomics analysis. The five predominant lichen-associated bacteria belonged to the phyla Proteobacteria (31.84%), Planctomycetota (17.08%), Actinobacteriota (15.37%), Verrucomicrobiota (12.17%), and Acidobacteriota (7.87%). The diversity analysis metric showed that Heterodermia contained the highest bacterial species richness. Within the lichens, Ramalina conduplicans and Cladonia rappii showed a distinct bacterial community from the other lichen species. The community of lichen-associated actinobacteria was investigated as a potential source of synthesized biologically active compounds. From the total Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) found across the ten different lichen samples, 13.21% were identified as actinobacteria, including the rare actinobacterial genera that are not commonly found, such as Pseudonocardia, Kineosporia, Dactylosporangium, Amycolatopsis, Actinoplanes, and Streptosporangium. Evaluation of the pretreatment method (heat, air-drying, phenol, and flooding) and isolation media used for the culture-dependent actinobacterial isolation revealed that the different pretreatments combined with different isolation media were effective in obtaining several species of actinobacteria. However, metagenomics analyses revealed that there were still several strains, including rare actinobacterial species, that were not isolated. This research strongly suggests that lichens appear to be a promising source for obtaining actinobacteria.

To further exploit secondary metabolic potential of a minor actinomycete genus Phytohabitans within the family Micromonosporaceae, metabolite profiling by HPLC-UV analysis, combined with 16S rDNA sequence-based phylotyping were attempted on seven Phytohabitans strains available at the public culture collection. The strains were grouped into three clades and each exhibited unique and distinct metabolite profiles, which were highly conserved among strains within the same clade. These results were consistent with previous observations on two other actinomycetes genera, reconfirming species-specificity of secondary metabolite production, which were conventionally thought to be strain-specific. A strain RD003215, belonging to the P. suffuscus clade, produced multiple metabolites, some of which were presumed to be naphthoquinones. Liquid fermentation followed by chromatographic separation of the broth extract led to the discovery of three new pyranonaphthoquinones, designated habipyranoquinones A-C (1-3), and one new isatin derivative, (R)-N-methyl-3-hydroxy-5,6-dimethoxyoxindole (4), along with three known synthetic compounds, 6,8-dihydroxydehydro-α-lapachone (5), N-methyl-5,6-dimethoxyisatin (6), and 5,6-dimethoxyisatin (7). Structures of 1-4 were unequivocally elucidated by NMR, MS, and CD spectral analysis, with assistance of density functional theory-based NMR chemical shift prediction and ECD spectral calculation. Compound 2 displayed antibacterial activity against Kocuria rhizophila and Staphylococcus aureus with MIC 50 µg/mL and cytotoxicity against P388 murine leukemia cells with an IC50 value of 34 µM. Compounds 1 and 4 also showed cytotoxicity against P388 cells with IC50 values of 29 and 14 µM, respectively.
