Abstract
A chemical investigation of a cold-seep-sediment-derived fungus, Pseudallescheria boydii CS-793, resulted in characterization of 10 novel bergamotene-derived sesquiterpenoids, pseuboyenes A-J (1-10). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses as well as using the modified Mosher's method. Compound 1 represents the first example of a β-bergamotene containing a 6-oxobicyclo[3.2.1]octane nucleus adducted with a methyl lactate unit, while 8-10 involve a skeletal rearrangement from bergamotene. Compounds 2-5 showed significant antifungal activities against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. and Fusarium oxysporum with MICs ranging from 0.5 to 8 μg/mL. Compound 4 exhibited an in vitro anti-F. proliferatum effect with an EC50 value of 1.0 μg/mL.

Abstract
Bioactivity screening revealed that the antifungal activities of EtOAc extracts from coculture broths of Trametes versicolor SY630 with either Vanderbylia robiniophila SY341 or Ganoderma gibbosum SY1001 were significantly improved compared to that of monocultures. Activity-guided isolation led to the discovery of five aromatic compounds (1-5) from the coculture broth of T. versicolor SY630 and V. robiniophila SY341 and two sphingolipids (6 and 7) from the coculture broth of T. versicolor SY630 and G. gibbosum SY1001. Tramevandins A-C (1-3) and 17-ene-1-deoxyPS (6) are new compounds, while 1-deoxyPS (7) is a new natural product. Notably, compound 2 represents a novel scaffold, wherein the highly modified p-terphenyl bears a benzyl substituent. The absolute configurations of those new compounds were elucidated by X-ray diffraction, ECD calculations, and analysis of physicochemical constants. Compounds 1, 2, and 5-7 exhibited different degrees of antimicrobial activity, and the antifungal activities of compounds 6 and 7 against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans are comparable to those of fluconazole, nystatin, and sphingosine, respectively. Transcriptome analysis, propidium iodide staining, ergosterol quantification, and feeding assays showed that the isolated sphingolipids can extensively downregulate the late biosynthetic pathway of ergosterol in C. albicans, representing a promising mechanism to combat antibiotic-resistant fungi.

Abstract
Seventeen undescribed sesquiterpene-alkaloid hybrids (liriogerphines E-U, 1-17) were isolated and identified during a further phytochemical investigation on the branches and leaves of Chinese tulip tree (Liriodendron chinense), a rare medicinal and ornamental plant endemic to China. These unique heterodimers are conjugates of germacranolide-type sesquiterpenoids with structurally diverse alkaloids [i.e., aporphine- (1-15), proaporphine- (16), and benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline-type (17)] via the formation of a C-N bond. The previously undescribed structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data analyses and electronic circular dichroism calculations. Such a class of sesquiterpene-alkaloid hybrids presumably biosynthesized via an aza-Michael addition is quite rare from terrestrial plants. In particular, the sesquiterpene-benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline hybrid skeleton has never been reported until the present study. All the isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects against a small panel of leukemia cell lines (Raji, Jeko-1, Daudi, Jurkat, MV-4-11 and HL-60), and some of them exhibited considerable activities.

A novel indolylbenzoquinone compound HL-J6 suppresses biofilm formation and α-toxin secretion in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Int J Antimicrob Agents 2023; 62:106972. [PMID: 37741585 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2023.106972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/25/2023]
Abstract
Eradication of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is challenging due to multi-drug resistance of strains and biofilm formation, the latter of which is an important barrier to the penetration of antibiotics and host defences. As such, there is an urgent need to discover and develop novel agents to fight MRSA-associated infection. In this study, HL-J6, a novel indolylbenzoquinone compound, was shown to inhibit S. aureus strains, with a minimum inhibitory concentration against MRSA252 of 2 µg/mL. Moreover, HL-J6 exhibited potent antibiofilm activity in vitro and was able to kill bacteria in biofilm. In the mouse models of wound infection, HL-J6 treatment reduced the MRSA load significantly and inhibited biofilm formation on the wounds. The potent targets of its antibiofilm activity were explored by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain rection, which indicated that HL-J6 downregulated the transcription levels of sarA, atlAE and icaADBC. Moreover, Western blot results showed that HL-J6 reduced the secretion level of α-toxin, a major virulence factor. These findings indicate that HL-J6 is a promising lead compound for the development of novel drugs against MRSA biofilm infections.

Abstract
Previously, we identified a series of steroids (1–6) that showed potent anti-virus activities against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with IC50 values ranging from 3.23 to 0.19 µM. In this work, we first semi-synthesized and characterized the single isomer of 5, 25(R)-26-acetoxy-3β,5α-dihydroxycholest-6-one, named as (25R)-5, in seven steps from a commercially available compound diosgenin (7), with a total yield of 2.8%. Unfortunately, compound (25R)-5 and the intermediates only showed slight inhibitions against RSV replication at the concentration of 10 µM, but they possessed potent cytotoxicity activities against human bladder cancer 5637 (HTB-9) and hepatic cancer HepG2, with IC50 values ranging from 3.0 to 15.5 µM without any impression of normal liver cell proliferation at 20 µM. Among them, the target compound (25R)-5 possessed cytotoxicity activities against 5637 (HTB-9) and HepG2 with IC50 values of 4.8 µM and 15.5 µM, respectively. Further studies indicated that compound (25R)-5 inhibited cancer cell proliferation through inducing early and late-stage apoptosis. Collectively, we have semi-synthesized, characterized and biologically evaluated the 25R-isomer of compound 5; the biological results suggested that compound (25R)-5 could be a good lead for further anti-cancer studies, especially for anti-human liver cancer.

Metabolic engineering for the biosynthesis of bis-indolylquinone terrequinone A in Escherichia coli from L-tryptophan and prenol. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS AND BIOPRODUCTS 2023; 16:34. [PMID: 36859334 PMCID: PMC9979454 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-023-02284-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Terrequinone A is a bis-indolylquinone natural product with antitumor activity. Due to its unique asymmetric quinone core structure and multiple functional groups, biosynthesis is more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional chemical synthesis. Currently, most bis-indolylquinones are obtained by direct extraction from fungi or by chemical synthesis. By focusing on the biosynthesis of terrequinone A, we hope to explore the way to synthesize bis-indolylquinones de novo using Escherichia coli as a cell factory. RESULTS In this study, a terrequinone A synthesis pathway containing the tdiA-tdiE genes was constructed into Escherichia coli and activated by a phosphopantetheinyl transferase gene sfp, enabling the strain to synthesize 1.54 mg/L of terrequinone A. Subsequently, a two-step isopentenol utilization pathway was introduced to enhance the supply of endogenous dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) in E. coli, increasing the level of terrequinone A to 20.1 mg/L. By adjusting the L-tryptophan (L-Trp)/prenol ratio, the major product could be changed from ochrindole D to terrequinone A, and the content of terrequinone A reached the highest 106.3 mg/L under the optimized culture conditions. Metabolic analysis of L-Trp indicated that the conversion of large amounts of L-Trp to indole was an important factor preventing the further improvement of terrequinone A yield. CONCLUSIONS A comprehensive approach was adopted and terrequinone A was successfully synthesized from low-cost L-Trp and prenol in E. coli. This study provides a metabolic engineering strategy for the efficient synthesis of terrequinone A and other similar bis-indolylquinones with asymmetric quinone cores. In addition, this is the first report on the de novo biosyhthesis of terrequinone A in an engineered strain.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, and pro-apototic drugs activating the apoptotic pathway are a strategy for anticancer therapy. To explore new antineoplastic agents, a series of novel mono-indolylbenzoquinone derivatives have been designed and synthesized. Compared with the lead bis-indolylbenzoquinones, most of the novel mono-indolylbenzoquinone derivatives have significantly increased their activity against A549, HeLa, and especially, MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Among them, 10d has the lowest IC50 value of 70 nM on MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, its oral toxicity is extremely low with an LD50 value of 374 mg/kg and no obvious liver and kidney damage to mice. 10d down-regulated Bcl-2, up-regulated Bax, and increased the release of cytochrome C, caspase3 and 9. 10d also up-regulated the expression of p53, catalase, and HTRA2/Omi. Therefore, 10d may exert its anticancer activity by activating apoptotic pathway and p53 expression. In vivo, 10d suppressed breast cancer 4T1 tumor growth with 36% inhibition ratio of tumor by intraperitoneal injection in mice. Furthermore, a cross-linked cyanoacrylate (CA)-based local sustained-release drug delivery systems (LSRDDSs) improved 10d anticancer activity to 49.8% inhibition of tumor growth. Taken together, 10d could be a promising drug candidate for clinical development to treat metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
Thirty-three benzophenanthridine alkaloid derivatives (1a–1u and 2a–2l) were synthesized, and their cytotoxic activities against two leukemia cell lines (Jurkat Clone E6-1 and THP-1) were evaluated in vitro using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Nine of these derivatives (1i–l, 2a, and 2i–l) with IC50 values in the range of 0.18–7.94 μM showed significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of both cancer cell lines. Analysis of the primary structure–activity relationships revealed that different substituent groups at the C-6 position might have an effect on the antileukemia activity of the corresponding compounds. In addition, the groups at the C-7 and C-8 positions could influence the antileukemia activity. Among these compounds, 2j showed the strongest in vitro antiproliferative activity against Jurkat Clone E6-1 and THP-1 cells with good IC50 values (0.52 ± 0.03 μM and 0.48 ± 0.03 μM, respectively), slightly induced apoptosis, and arrested the cell-cycle, all of which suggests that compound 2j may represent a potentially useful start point to undergo further optimization toward a lead compound.

Abstract
Among all cancer types, breast cancer (BC) still stands as one of the most serious diseases responsible for a large number of cancer-associated deaths among women worldwide, and diagnosed cases are increasing year by year worldwide. For a very long time, hormonal therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy were used for breast cancer treatment. However, these treatment approaches are becoming progressively futile because of multidrug resistance and serious side effects. Consequently, there is a pressing demand to develop more efficient and safer agents that can fight breast cancer belligerence and inhibit cancer cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Currently, there is an avalanche of newly designed and synthesized molecular entities targeting multiple types of breast cancer. This review highlights several important synthesized compounds with promising anti-BC activity that are categorized according to their chemical structures.

Abstract
A phytochemical investigation of the MeOH extract of the leaves and twigs of Amentotaxus argotaenia, a relict vulnerable coniferous species endemic to China, led to the isolation and characterization of 35 diterpenoids/norditerpenoids. Twenty of these are new, including 11 ent-kaurane-type (amentotaxins C-M, 1-11, respectively), three icetexane-type [= 9(10→20)abeo-abietane-type (amentotaxins N-P, 12-14, respectively)], four ent-labdane-type (amentotaxins Q-T, 15-18, respectively), and two isopimarane-type [amentotaxins U (19) and V (20)] compounds. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, the modified Mosher's method, and electronic circular dichroism data analyses. Compounds 1-9 are rare 18-nor-ent-kaurane-type diterpenoids featuring a 4β,19-epoxy ring. All the isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects against a small panel of cultured human cancer cell lines (HeLa, A-549, MDA-MB-231, SKOV3, Huh-7, and HCT-116), and some of them exhibited cytotoxicities with IC50 values ranging from 1.5 to 10.0 μM.

Production of α-keto carboxylic acid dimers in yeast by overexpression of NRPS-like genes from Aspergillus terreus. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2018; 102:1663-1672.

Abstract
Non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are key enzymes in microorganisms for the assembly of peptide backbones of biologically and pharmacologically active natural products. The monomodular NRPS-like enzymes comprise often an adenylation (A), a thiolation (T), and a thioesterase (TE) domain. In contrast to the NRPSs, they do not contain any condensation domain and usually catalyze a dimerization of α-keto carboxylic acids and thereby provide diverse scaffolds for further modifications. In this study, we established an expression system for NRPS-like genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By expression of four known genes from Aspergillus terreus, their predicted function was confirmed and product yields of up to 35 mg per liter culture were achieved. Furthermore, expression of ATEG_03090 from the same fungus, encoding for the last uncharacterized NRPS-like enzyme with an A-T-TE domain structure, led to the formation of the benzoquinone derivative atromentin. All the accumulated products were isolated and their structures were elucidated by NMR and MS analyses. This study provides a convenient system for proof of gene function as well as a basis for synthetic biology, since additional genes encoding modification enzymes can be introduced.

In silico Study of the Pharmacologic Properties and Cytotoxicity Pathways in Cancer Cells of Various Indolylquinone Analogues of Perezone. Molecules 2017; 22:E1060. [PMID: 28672837 PMCID: PMC6152338 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22071060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2017] [Revised: 06/16/2017] [Accepted: 06/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Several indolylquinone analogues of perezone, a natural sesquiterpene quinone, were characterized in this work by theoretical methods. In addition, some physicochemical, toxicological and metabolic properties were predicted using bioinformatics software. The predicted physicochemical properties are in agreement with the solubility and cLogP values, the penetration across the cell membrane, and absorption values, as well as with a possible apoptosis-activated mechanism of cytotoxic action. The toxicological predictions suggest no mutagenic, tumorigenic or reproductive effects of the four target molecules. Complementarily, the results of a performed docking study show high scoring values and hydrogen bonding values in agreement with the cytotoxicity IC50 value ranking, i.e: indolylmenadione > indolylperezone > indolylplumbagine > indolylisoperezone. Consequently, it is possible to suggest an appropriate apoptotic pathway for each compound. Finally, potential metabolic pathways of the molecules were proposed.

Abstract
Copper salt-catalyzed oxidative amination resulted in the formation of a novel series of triazole- spirodienone conjugates, 4-triazolyl-1-oxa-4-azaspiro[4,5]deca-6,9-dien-3,8-diones and 4-triazolyl-1-oxa-4-azaspiro[4,5]deca-6,9-dien-8-ones. A single crystal of compound 1p among them was grown and analyzed by X-ray crystallography. These compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activities against MDA-MB-231, HeLa, A549 and MCF-7 cell lines. Most of them showed moderate to high anticancer potency in the four cancer cell lines. The discovery of the triazole-spirodienone conjugates as cytotoxic agents against cancer cells may open up a new field in which these novel small molecules could be further explored as promising anticancer agents.
