Abstract
Alkaloids with a phenylhydrazone architecture are rarely found in nature. Four unusual phenylhydrazone alkaloids named talarohydrazones A-D (1-4) were isolated from the deep-sea cold seep derived fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae HDN21-0307 using the one strain-many compounds (OSMAC) approach and MS/MS-based molecular networking (MN) combined with network annotation propagation (NAP) and the unsupervised substructure annotation method MS2LDA. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculations. Talarohydrazone A (1) possessed an unusual skeleton combining 2,4-pyridinedione and phenylhydrazone. Talarohydrazone B (2) represents the first natural phenylhydrazone-bearing azadophilone. Bioactivity evaluation revealed that compound 1 exhibited cytotoxic activity against NCI-H446 cells with an IC50 value of 4.1 μM. In addition, compound 1 displayed weak antibacterial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC value of 32 μg/mL.

A review of natural products and small-molecule therapeutics acting on central nervous system malignancies: Approaches for drug development, targeting pathways, clinical trials, and challenges. Drug Dev Res 2024; 85:e22180. [PMID: 38680103 DOI: 10.1002/ddr.22180] [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: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
In 2021, the World Health Organization released the fifth edition of the central nervous system (CNS) tumor classification. This classification uses histopathology and molecular pathogenesis to group tumors into more biologically and molecularly defined entities. The prognosis of brain cancer, particularly malignant tumors, has remained poor worldwide, approximately 308,102 new cases of brain and other CNS tumors were diagnosed in the year 2020, with an estimated 251,329 deaths. The cost and time-consuming nature of studies to find new anticancer agents makes it necessary to have well-designed studies. In the present study, the pathways that can be targeted for drug development are discussed in detail. Some of the important cellular origins, signaling, and pathways involved in the efficacy of bioactive molecules against CNS tumorigenesis or progression, as well as prognosis and common approaches for treatment of different types of brain tumors, are reviewed. Moreover, different study tools, including cell lines, in vitro, in vivo, and clinical trial challenges, are discussed. In addition, in this article, natural products as one of the most important sources for finding new chemotherapeutics were reviewed and over 700 reported molecules with efficacy against CNS cancer cells are gathered and classified according to their structure. Based on the clinical trials that have been registered, very few of these natural or semi-synthetic derivatives have been studied in humans. The review can help researchers understand the involved mechanisms and design new goal-oriented studies for drug development against CNS malignancies.

Abstract
Actinomycetia are known for their ability to produce a wide range of bioactive secondary metabolites having significant therapeutic importance. This study aimed to explore the potential of actinomycetia as a source of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties against multi-drug-resistant (MDR) clinical pathogens. A total of 65 actinomycetia were isolated from two unexplored forest ecosystems, namely the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary (PWS) and the Deepor Beel Wildlife Sanctuary (DBWS), located in the Indo-Burma mega-biodiversity hotspots of northeast India, out of which 19 isolates exhibited significant antimicrobial activity. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used for the identification and phylogenetic analysis of the 19 potent actinomycetia isolates. The results reveal that the most dominant genus among the isolates was Streptomyces (84.21%), followed by rare actinomycetia genera such as Nocardia, Actinomadura, and Nonomuraea. Furthermore, seventeen of the isolates tested positive for at least one antibiotic biosynthetic gene, specifically type II polyketide synthase (PKS-II) and nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). These genes are associated with the production of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties. Among the isolated strains, three actinomycetia strains, namely Streptomyces sp. PBR1, Streptomyces sp. PBR36, and Streptomyces sp. DBR11, demonstrated the most potent antimicrobial activity against seven test pathogens. This was determined through in vitro antimicrobial bioassays and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of ethyl acetate extracts. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GS-MS) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of the three strains revealed a diverse group of bioactive compounds and secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (smBGCs), respectively, indicating their high therapeutic potential. These findings highlight the potential of these microorganisms to serve as a valuable resource for the discovery and development of novel antibiotics and other therapeutics with high therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Two new phenylhydrazone derivatives and one new alkaloid, penzonemycins A–B (1–2) and demethylmycemycin A (3), together with three known compounds including an alkaloid (4) and two sesquiterpenoids (5–6), were isolated from the Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40020 obtained from the Pearl River Estuary sediment. Their structures and absolute configurations were assigned by 1D/2D NMR, mass spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 was evaluated in four human cancer cell lines by the SRB method and displayed weak cytotoxicity in three cancer cell lines, with IC50 values that ranged from 30.44 to 61.92 µM, which were comparable to those of the positive control cisplatin. Bioinformatic analysis of the putative biosynthetic gene cluster indicated a Japp–Klingemann coupling reaction involved in the hydrazone formation of 1 and 2.

Structure Revision of Penipacids A–E Reveals a Putative New Cryptic Natural Product, N-aminoanthranilic Acid, with Potential as a Transcriptional Regulator of Silent Secondary Metabolism. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20060339. [PMID: 35736142 PMCID: PMC9225364 DOI: 10.3390/md20060339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Reconsideration of the spectroscopic data for penipacids A–E, first reported in 2013 as the acyclic amidines 1–5 from the South China deep sea sediment-derived fungus Penicillium paneum SD-44, prompted a total synthesis structure revision as the hydrazones 6–10. This revision strongly supported the proposition that penipacids A–B (6–7) were artifact Schiff base adducts of the cryptic (undetected) natural product N-aminoanthranilic acid (11) with diacetone alcohol, induced by excessive exposure to acetone and methanol under acidic handling conditions. Likewise, the revised structures for penipacids C–D (8–9) and E (10) raise the possibility that they may also be artifact Schiff base adducts of 11 and the media constituents pyruvic acid and furfural, respectively. A review of the natural products literature revealed other Schiff base (hydrazone) natural products that might also be viewed as Schiff base adduct artifacts of 11. Having raised the prospect that 11 is an undetected and reactive cryptic natural product, we went on to establish that 11 is not cytotoxic to a range of bacterial, fungal or mammalian (human) cell types. Instead, when added as a supplement to microbial cultivations, 11 can act as a chemical cue/transcriptional regulator, activating and/or enhancing the yield of biosynthetic gene clusters encoding for other natural product chemical defenses. This study demonstrates the value of challenging the structure and artifact status of natural products, as a window into the hidden world of cryptic and highly reactive natural products.

Abstract
The angucylines are a family of aromatic polyketides featuring a tetracyclic benz[a]anthraquinone skeleton. This class of polycyclic aromatic polyketides are exclusively associated with actinomycetes and can undergo many modifications such as oxidation, ring cleavage, glycosylation and dimerization. Here we report the discovery of a new ether-linked benz[a]anthraquinone heterodimer, named mycolatone (1), from a grasshopper-derived actinomycete, Amycolatopsis sp. HCa1. The structure of mycolatone (1) was determined by comprehensive two-dimensional NMR analysis, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and biogenetic consideration. This new heterodimeric molecule is structurally derived from the dimerization of two tetracyclic angucylines, 2-hydroxy-5-O-methyltetragomycin and PD116779, through an ether bond between C-8 and C-8'. This new structural feature enrich the structural diversity of angucylines. Additionally, the surface tension activity and cytotoxic activities of 1 against human cervical cancer cell line (Hela), human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line (SGC-7901) and human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (SPC-A-1) were evaluated.

Abstract
Three new phenylhydrazones, penoxahydrazones A-C (compounds 1-3), and two new quinazolines, penoxazolones A (compound 4) and B (compound 5), with unique linkages were isolated from the fungus Penicillium oxalicum obtained from the deep sea cold seep. Their structures and relative configurations were assigned by analysis of 1D/2D NMR and mass spectroscopic data, and the absolute configurations of 1, 4, and 5 were established on the basis of X-ray crystallography or ECD calculations. Compound 1 represents the first natural phenylhydrazone-bearing steroid, while compounds 2 and 3 are rarely occurring phenylhydrazone tautomers. Compounds 4 and 5 are enantiomers that feature quinazoline and cinnamic acid units. Some isolates exhibited inhibition of several marine phytoplankton species and marine-derived bacteria.
