Abstract
The bacillamides are a class of indole alkaloids produced by the Bacillus genus that possess significant antialgal activity. Incorporation of fluorine into the bacillamides was carried out using a precursor-directed biosynthesis approach, with 4-, 5-, and 6-fluorotryptophan added to growing cultures of Bacillus atrophaeus IMG-11. This yielded the corresponding fluorinated analogues of bacillamides A and C, in addition to new derivatives of the related metabolite N-acetyltryptamine, thus demonstrating a degree of plasticity in the bacillamide biosynthetic pathway. The bacillamide derivatives were tested for activity against bloom-forming algae, which revealed that fluorination could improve the antialgal activity of these compounds in a site-specific manner, with fluorination at the 6-position consistently resulting in improved activity.

Abstract
Diepoxin-η (1) is a cytotoxic fungal metabolite belonging to the spirobisnaphthalene structural class. In this study, four mono fluorinated analogues (2-5) of diepoxin-η (1) were semisynthesized in a single-step by selectively fluorinating the naphthalene moiety with Selectfluor. The structures of 2-5 were elucidated using a set of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques and were further confirmed by means of TDDFT-ECD and isotropic shielding tensors calculations. Compounds 2-5 showed equipotent cytotoxic activity to 1 when tested against OVCAR3 (ovarian) and MDA-MB-435 (melanoma) cancer cell lines with IC50 values that range from 5.7-8.2 μM.

Abstract
Natural product reisolation is a bottleneck when discovering new bioactive chemical entities from nature. To overcome this issue, multi-informative approaches integrating several layers of data have been applied with promising results. In this study, integration of taxonomy, nontargeted metabolomics, and bioactivity information resulted in the selection of Scytalidium sp. IQ-074 and Diaporthe sp. IQ-053 to isolate new natural products active against hPTP1B1-400 and repurpose others as antibiotics. Strain IQ-074 was selected based on the hypothesis that investigating poorly studied and highly metabolic taxa could lead to the isolation of new chemical entities. A chemical investigation of IQ-074 resulted in the isolation of papyracillic acid A (14), 7-deoxypapyracillic acid A (15a and 15b), and linear polyketides scytalpolyols A-D (16-19). Compound 17 inhibited hPTP1B1-400 with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 27.0 ± 1.7 μM. Diaporthe sp. IQ-053 was selected based on its antibacterial properties against pathogenic strains. Its chemical investigation yielded dothiorelones A (20) and I (21), cytosporones B (22) and C (23), pestalotiopsone B (24), and diaporthalasin (25). Compounds 22 and 25 inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis 42R and moderately inhibited the growth of Acinetobacter baumannii A564, a pandrug-resistant bacterium.

Abstract
Fluorine is a key element in medicinal chemistry, as it can significantly enhance the pharmacological properties of drugs. In this study, we aimed to biosynthetically produce fluorinated analogues of the antimicrobial cyclic decapeptide gramicidin S (GS). However, our results show that the A-domain of the NRPS module GrsA rejects 4-fluorinated analogues of its native substrate Phe due to an interrupted T-shaped aromatic interaction in the binding pocket. We demonstrate that GrsA mutant W239S improves the incorporation of 4-fluorinated Phe into GS both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings provide new insights into the behavior of NRPSs towards fluorinated amino acids and strategies for the engineered biosynthesis of fluorinated peptides.

Abstract
Fluorinated compounds are widely used in the fields of molecular imaging, pharmaceuticals, and materials. Fluorinated natural products in nature are rare, and the introduction of fluorine atoms into organic compound molecules can give these compounds new functions and make them have better performance. Therefore, the synthesis of fluorides has attracted more and more attention from biologists and chemists. Even so, achieving selective fluorination is still a huge challenge under mild conditions. In this review, the research progress of enzymatic synthesis of fluorinated compounds is summarized since 2015, including cytochrome P450 enzymes, aldolases, fluoroacetyl coenzyme A thioesterases, lipases, transaminases, reductive aminases, purine nucleoside phosphorylases, polyketide synthases, fluoroacetate dehalogenases, tyrosine phenol-lyases, glycosidases, fluorinases, and multienzyme system. Of all enzyme-catalyzed synthesis methods, the direct formation of the C-F bond by fluorinase is the most effective and promising method. The structure and catalytic mechanism of fluorinase are introduced to understand fluorobiochemistry. Furthermore, the distribution, applications, and future development trends of fluorinated compounds are also outlined. Hopefully, this review will help researchers to understand the significance of enzymatic methods for the synthesis of fluorinated compounds and find or create excellent fluoride synthase in future research.Key points• Fluorinated compounds are distributed in plants and microorganisms, and are used in imaging, medicine, materials science.• Enzyme catalysis is essential for the synthesis of fluorinated compounds.• The loop structure of fluorinase is the key to forming the C-F bond.

Absolute configuration and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitory activity of xanthoepocin, a dimeric naphtopyrone from Penicillium sp. IQ-429. Bioorg Chem 2021; 115:105166.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an active target for developing drugs to treat type II diabetes, obesity, and cancer. However, in the past, research programs targeting this enzyme focused on discovering inhibitors of truncated models (hPTP1B1-282, hPTP1B1-298, or hPTP1B1-321), losing valuable information about the ligands' mechanism of inhibition and selectivity. Nevertheless, finding an allosteric site in hPTP1B1-321, and the full-length (hPTP1B1-400) protein expression, have shifted the strategies to discover new PTP1B inhibitors. Accordingly, as part of a research program directed at finding non-competitive inhibitors of hPTP1B1-400 from Pezizomycotina, the extract of Penicillium sp. (IQ-429) was chemically investigated. This study led to xanthoepocin (1) isolation, which was elucidated by means of spectroscopic and spectrometric data. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined to be 7R8S9R7'R8'S9'R by comparing the theoretical and experimental ECD spectra and by GIAO-NMR DP4 + statistical analysis. Xanthoepocin (1) inhibited the phosphatase activity of hPTP1B1-400 (IC50 value of 8.8 ± 1.0 µM) in a mixed type fashion, with ki and αki values of 5.5 and 6.6 μM, respectively. Docking xanthoepocin (1) with a homologated model of hPTP1B1-400 indicated that it binds in a pocket different from the catalytic triad at the interface of the N and C-terminal domains. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations showed that 1 locks the WPD loop of hPTP1B1-400 in a closed conformation, avoiding substrate binding, products release, and catalysis, suggesting an allosteric modulation triggered by large-scale conformational and dynamics changes. Intrinsic quenching fluorescence experiments indicated that 1 behaves like a static quencher of hPTP1B1-400 (KSV = 1.1 × 105 M-1), and corroborated that it binds to the enzyme with an affinity constant (ka) of 3.7 × 105 M-1. Finally, the drug-likeness and medicinal chemistry friendliness of 1 were predicted with SwissADME.

Abstract
The popularity of botanical and other purported medicinal natural products (NPs) continues to grow, especially among patients with chronic illnesses and patients managed on complex prescription drug regimens. With few exceptions, the risk of a given NP to precipitate a clinically significant pharmacokinetic NP-drug interaction (NPDI) remains understudied or unknown. Application of static or dynamic mathematical models to predict and/or simulate NPDIs can provide critical information about the potential clinical significance of these complex interactions. However, methods used to conduct such predictions or simulations are highly variable. Additionally, published reports using mathematical models to interrogate NPDIs are not always sufficiently detailed to ensure reproducibility. Consequently, guidelines are needed to inform the conduct and reporting of these modeling efforts. This recommended approach from the Center of Excellence for Natural Product Drug Interaction Research describes a systematic method for using mathematical models to interpret the interaction risk of NPs as precipitants of potential clinically significant pharmacokinetic NPDIs. A framework for developing and applying pharmacokinetic NPDI models is presented with the aim of promoting accuracy, reproducibility, and generalizability in the literature. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Many natural products (NPs) contain phytoconstituents that can increase or decrease systemic or tissue exposure to, and potentially the efficacy of, a pharmaceutical drug; however, no regulatory agency guidelines exist to assist in predicting the risk of these complex interactions. This recommended approach from a multi-institutional consortium designated by National Institutes of Health as the Center of Excellence for Natural Product Drug Interaction Research provides a framework for modeling pharmacokinetic NP-drug interactions.

Abstract
Recently, the isolation and elucidation of a series of polyhydroxyanthraquinones were reported from an organic extract of a solid phase culture of an endophytic fungus, Penicillium restrictum (strain G85). One of these compounds, ω-hydroxyemodin (1: ), showed promising quorum-sensing inhibition against clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in both in vitro and in vivo models. The initial supply of 1: was 19 mg, and this amount needed to be scaled by a factor of 30 to 50 times, in order to generate material for further in vivo studies. To do so, improvements were implemented to enhance both the fermentation of the fungal culture and the isolation of this compound, with the target of generating > 800 mg of study materials in a period of 13 wk. Valuable insights, both regarding chemistry and mycology, were gained during the targeted production of 1: on the laboratory-scale. In addition, methods were modified to make the process more environmentally friendly by judicious choice of solvents, implementing procedures for solvent recycling, and minimizing the use of halogenated solvents.

Abstract
Precursor-directed biosynthesis was used to generate a series of fluorinated verticillins. The biosynthesis of these epipolythiodioxopiperazine alkaloids was monitored in situ via the droplet liquid microjunction surface sampling probe (droplet probe), and a suite of NMR and mass spectrometry data were used for their characterization. All analogues demonstrated nanomolar IC50 values vs a panel of cancer cell lines. This approach yielded new compounds that would be difficult to generate via synthesis.

Abstract
Covering: up to 2019The chemistry of nature can be beautiful, inspiring, beneficial and poisonous, depending on perspective. Since the isolation of the first secondary metabolites roughly two centuries ago, much of the chemical research on natural products has been both reductionist and static. Typically, compounds were isolated and characterized from the extract of an entire organism from a single time point. While there could be subtexts to that approach, the general premise has been to determine the chemistry with very little in the way of tools to differentiate spatial and/or temporal changes in secondary metabolite profiles. However, the past decade has seen exponential advances in our ability to observe, measure, and visualize the chemistry of nature in situ. Many of those techniques have been reviewed in this journal, and most are tapping into the power of mass spectrometry to analyze a plethora of sample types. In nearly all of the other techniques used to study chemistry in situ, the element of chromatography has been eliminated, instead using various ionization sources to coax ions of the secondary metabolites directly into the mass spectrometer as a mixture. Much of that science has been driven by the great advances in ambient ionization techniques used with a suite of mass spectrometry platforms, including the alphabet soup from DESI to LAESI to MALDI. This review discusses the one in situ analysis technique that incorporates chromatography, being the droplet-liquid microjunction-surface sampling probe, which is more easily termed "droplet probe". In addition to comparing and contrasting the droplet probe with other techniques, we provide perspective on why scientists, particularly those steeped in natural products chemistry training, may want to include chromatography in in situ analyses. Moreover, we provide justification for droplet sampling, especially for samples with delicate and/or non-uniform topographies. Furthermore, while the droplet probe has been used the most in the analysis of fungal cultures, we digest a variety of other applications, ranging from cyanobacteria, to plant parts, and even delicate documents, such as herbarium specimens.

Abstract
A new 8,8'-binaphthopyranone (mycopyranone, 1) was isolated from a solid fermentation of Phialemoniopsis sp. (fungal strain MSX61662), and the structure was elucidated via analysis of the NMR and HRESIMS data. The axial chirality of 1 was determined to be M by ECD. The central chirality at C-4/C-4' was assigned through a modified Mosher's method, while the absolute configuration at C-3/C-3' was deduced based on analysis of the 3 J H-3-H-4 values and NOESY correlations. Compound 1 was evaluated for its antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus SA1199 and a clinically relevant methicillin-resistant S. aureus strain (MRSA USA300 LAC strain AH1263). Compound 1 inhibited the growth of both strains in a concentration dependent manner with IC50 values in the low μM range. Molecular docking indicated that compound 1 binds to the FtsZ (tubulin-like) protein in the same pocket as viriditoxin (2), suggesting that 1 targets bacterial cell division.

Abstract
Covering: up to 2018With contributions from the global natural product (NP) research community, and continuing the Raw Data Initiative, this review collects a comprehensive demonstration of the immense scientific value of disseminating raw nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data, independently of, and in parallel with, classical publishing outlets. A comprehensive compilation of historic to present-day cases as well as contemporary and future applications show that addressing the urgent need for a repository of publicly accessible raw NMR data has the potential to transform natural products (NPs) and associated fields of chemical and biomedical research. The call for advancing open sharing mechanisms for raw data is intended to enhance the transparency of experimental protocols, augment the reproducibility of reported outcomes, including biological studies, become a regular component of responsible research, and thereby enrich the integrity of NP research and related fields.

Abstract
![]()
A palladium(II) catalyst,
in the presence of Selectfluor, enables
the efficient and chemoselective transformation of primary amides
into nitriles. The amides can be attached to aromatic rings, heteroaromatic
rings, or aliphatic side chains, and the reactions tolerate steric
bulk and electronic modification. Dehydration of a peptaibol containing
three glutamine groups afforded structure–activity relationships
for each glutamine residue. Thus, this dehydration can act similarly
to an alanine scan for glutamines via synthetic mutation.

Abstract
Metabolic engineering offers an exquisite capacity to produce new molecules in a renewable manner. However, most industrial applications have focused on only a small subset of elements from the periodic table, centered around carbon biochemistry. This review aims to illustrate the expanse of chemical elements that can currently (and potentially) be integrated into useful products using cellular systems. Specifically, we describe recent advances in expanding the cellular scope to include the halogens, selenium and the metalloids, and a variety of metal incorporations. These examples range from small molecules, heteroatom-linked uncommon elements, and natural products to biomining and nanotechnology applications. Collectively, this review covers the promise of an expanded range of elemental incorporations and the future impacts it may have on biotechnology.

Abstract
Peptaibols are an intriguing class of fungal metabolites due both to their wide range of reported bioactivities and to the structural variability that can be generated by the exchange of variable amino acid building blocks. In an effort to streamline the discovery of structurally diverse peptaibols, a mass spectrometry surface sampling technique was applied to screen the chemistry of fungal cultures in situ. Four previously undescribed peptaibols, all containing a rare threonine residue, were identified from a fungal culture (MSX53554), which was identified as Nectriopsis Maire (Bionectriaceae, Hypocreales, Ascomycota). These compounds not only increased the known threonine-containing peptaibols by nearly 20%, but also, the threonine residue was situated in a unique place compared to the other reported threonine-containing peptaibols. After the initial in situ detection and characterization, a large-scale solid fermentation culture was grown. The four peptaibols were isolated and characterized by mass spectrometry. In addition, one of the peptaibols was fully characterized by NMR and amino acid analysis using Marfey's reagent and exhibited moderate in vitro anticancer activity.

Abstract
In the field of natural products chemistry, a common question pertains to the authenticity of an isolated compound, i.e. are the interesting side chains biosynthesized naturally or an artefact of the isolation/purification processes? The droplet-liquid microjunction-surface sampling probe (droplet-LMJ-SSP) coupled to a hyphenated system (UPLC-UV-HRESIMS) empowers the analysis of natural product sources in situ, providing data on the biosynthetic timing and spatial distribution of secondary metabolites. In this study the droplet-LMJ-SSP was utilized to validate the authenticity of two new peptaibols (2 and 3) as biosynthesized secondary metabolites, even though both them had structural features that could be perceived as artefacts. Compounds 2 and 3 were isolated from the scaled up fermentation of Trichoderma arundinaceum (strain MSX70741), along with a new member of the trichobrevin BIII complex (1), and four known compounds (4-7). The structures of the isolates were established using a set of spectroscopic and spectrometric methods, and their absolute configurations were determined by Marfey's analysis. The cytotoxic activity of compounds 1, 3, 4 and 6 was evaluated against a panel of cancer cell lines, where cytotoxic activity in the single digit μM range was observed.
