RESUMEN
Inthomycins are polyketide antibiotics which contain a terminal carboxamide group and a triene chain. Inthomycin B (1) and its two new analogues 2 and 3 were isolated from the crude extract of Streptomyces pactum L8. Identification of the gene cluster for inthomycin biosynthesis as well as the 15N-labeled glycine incorporation into inthomycins are described. Combined with the gene deletion of the rare P450 domain in the NRPS module, a formation mechanism of carboxamide moiety in inthomycins was proposed via an oxidative release of the assembly chain assisted by the P450 domain.

Cangumycins A-F (1-6), six new angucyclinone analogues, together with two known ones (7 and 8), were isolated from the fermentation broth of a soil-derived Streptomyces sp. KIB-M10. Structures of these compounds were elucidated via a joint use of spectroscopic analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Among them, cangumycins E (5) and F (6) share a C-ring cleaved backbone, and cangumycins B (2) and E (5) exhibit potent immunosuppressive activity (IC50 8.1 and 2.7 µmol·L-1, respectively) against human T cell proliferation at a non-cytotoxic concentration.

Actinomycin Z6 (1), a new member of the actinomycin family, along with three congeners of the Z-type (Z1, Z3, Z5) actinomycins, are produced from Streptomyces sp. KIB-H714. Their structures were authenticated by comprehensive spectroscopic data interpretation. Different from all the reported Z-type actinomycins, the ß-ring of the new compound actinomycin Z6 includes an additional ring linked between the actinoyl chromophore and ß-peptidolactone. In Z3 and Z5, the L-threonine in ß-depsipeptide is replaced by the unusual 4-chlorothreonine, an amino acid rarely found in actinomycin family. All isolates were evaluated for cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines and for inhibitory activity against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus.

Two new glycosylated piericidins, glucopiericidinol A3 (1) and 7-demethyl-glucopiericidin A (2), along with four known analogs were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. KIB-H1083. The chemical structures of new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. Their cytotoxicity on HL-60, SMMC-772, A-549, MCF-7, and SW480 cell lines, as well as antimicrobial activities was evaluated. The results showed that glucopiericidin A (4) has potent cytotoxicity against HL-60, SMMC-772, A-549, and MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.34, 0.65, 0.60, and 0.50 µM, respectively. For the antimicrobial activity, piericidin A (6) showed most powerful inhibitory activities against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola, and Penicillium decumbens.

The pyridine ring is a potent pharmacophore in alkaloid natural products. Nonetheless, its biosynthetic pathways are poorly understood. Rubrolones A and B are tropolone alkaloid natural products possessing a unique tetra-substituted pyridine moiety. Here, we report the gene cluster and propose a biosynthetic pathway for rubrolones, identifying a key intermediate that accumulates upon inactivation of sugar biosynthetic genes. Critically, this intermediate was converted to the aglycones of rubrolones by non-enzymatic condensation and cyclization with either ammonia or anthranilic acid to generate the respective pyridine rings. We propose that this non-enzymatic reaction occurs via hydrolysis of the key intermediate, which possesses a 1,5-dione moiety as an amine acceptor capable of cyclization. This study suggests that 1,5-dione moieties may represent a general strategy for pyridine ring biosynthesis, and more broadly highlights the utility of non-enzymatic diversification for exploring and expanding natural product chemical space.

Rubrolones are tropolonoid natural products with a unique carbon skeleton. Extensive secondary metabolite analysis of the endophytic Streptomyces sp. KIB-H033 revealed a new class of rubrolone analogue possessing a rare benzoic acid-pyridine inner salt moiety. Precursor feeding with [(13)C]-acetate revealed a labeling pattern consistent with tropolone moiety construction via type-II PKS chemistry followed by complex oxidative rearrangements. This bacterial biosynthetic route represents a surprising departure from fungal tropolone assembly during stipitatic acid biosynthesis.

Duclauxamide A1 (1), a new polyketide-derived heptacyclic oligophenalenone dimer with a N-2-hydroxyethyl moiety, was isolated from Penicillium manginii YIM PH30375. Spectroscopic analysis, X-ray single crystal diffraction, and (13)C NMR DFT calculations confirmed that compound 1 and other duclauxin analogues possess the unified S configuration at C-9', which corrects a long-standing misrepresentation of duclauxins as C-9'R epimers. A plausible biosynthetic pathway for duclauxins is proposed on the basis of previous acetate labeling results for duclauxin and sclerodin.

In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers.
RESUMEN
Several series of 45 acetophenone derivatives bearing various alkyl or benzyl substituents were conveniently synthesized and their structures characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, HRMS and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Their in vitro antifungal activities against a panel of phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated by mycelial growth rate assay. Of them, 12 derivatives (e.g., 3a-c, 4c and 4e) exhibited more potent antifungal effects on some phytopathogens than a commercial fungicide hymexazol as positive control. In particular, compound 3b with IC50 values of 10-19 µg/mL was found to be the most active in this series and might be a potential lead structure for further optimization. The preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of a series of acetophenones are also discussed.
