Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious airborne disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Since the 1990 s, many countries have made significant progress in reducing the incidence of TB and associated mortality by improving health services and strengthening surveillance systems. Nevertheless, due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), alongside extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) and TB-HIV co-infection, TB remains one of the lead causes of death arising from infectious disease worldwide, especially in developing countries and disadvantaged populations. Marine natural products (MNPs) have received a large amount of attention in recent years as a source of pharmaceutical constituents and lead compounds, and are expected to offer significant resources and potential in the fields of drug development and biotechnology in the years to come. This review summarizes 169 marine natural products and their synthetic derivatives displaying anti-TB activity from 2013 to the present, including their structures, sources and functions. Partial synthetic information and structure-activity relationships (SARs) are also included.

Abstract
Streptomyces bacteria are notable for producing chemically diverse specialized metabolites that exhibit various bioactivities and mediate interactions with different organisms. Streptomyces sp. 11-1-2 is a plant pathogen that produces nigericin and geldanamycin, both of which display toxic effects against various plants. Here, the 'One Strain Many Compounds' approach was used to characterize the metabolic potential of Streptomyces sp. 11-1-2. Organic extracts were prepared from 11-1-2 cultures grown on six different agar media, and the extracts were tested in antimicrobial and plant bioassays and were subjected to untargeted metabolomics and molecular networking. Most extracts displayed strong bioactivity against Gram-positive bacteria and yeast, and they exhibited phytotoxic activity against potato tuber tissue and radish seedlings. Several known specialized metabolites, including musacin D, galbonolide B, guanidylfungin A, meridamycins and elaiophylin, were predicted to be present in the extracts along with closely related compounds with unknown structure and bioactivity. Targeted detection confirmed the presence of elaiophylin in the extracts, and bioassays using pure elaiophylin revealed that it enhances the phytotoxic effects of geldanamycin and nigericin on potato tuber tissue. Overall, this study reveals novel insights into the specialized metabolites that may mediate interactions between Streptomyces sp. 11-1-2 and other bacteria and eukaryotic organisms.

Abstract
Seven new sugar alcohol-conjugated acyclic sesquiterpenes, acremosides A-G (1-7), were isolated from the cultures of the sponge-associated fungus Acremonium sp. IMB18-086 cultivated with heat-killed Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The structures were determined by comprehensive analyses of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The relative configurations were established by J-based configuration analysis and acetonide derivatization. The absolute configurations were elucidated by the Mosher ester method and ECD calculations. The structures of acremosides E-G (5-7) featured the linear sesquiterpene skeleton with a tetrahydrofuran moiety attached to a sugar alcohol. Acremosides A (1) and C-E (3-5) showed significant inhibitory activities against hepatitis C virus (EC50 values of 4.8-8.8 μM) with no cytotoxicity (CC50 of >200 μM).

[PMID: 38398608 PMCID: PMC10893547 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29040856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) plays an essential role in bacterial growth and resistance to antibiotics, and LTA synthetase (LtaS) was considered as an attractive target for combating Gram-positive infections. Azalomycin F, a natural guanidyl-containing polyhydroxy macrolide, can target the LTA of Staphylococcus aureus. Using various technologies including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, transmission electron microscope, proteomics, and parallel reaction monitoring, here, the experimental results indicated that azalomycin F can accelerate the LTA release and disrupt the cell envelope, which would also lead to the feedback upregulation on the expressions of LtaS and other related enzymes. Simultaneously, the reconstituted enzyme activity evaluations showed that azalomycin F can significantly inhibit the extracellular catalytic domain of LtaS (eLtaS), while this was vague for LtaS embedded in the liposomes. Subsequently, the fluorescence analyses for five incubation systems containing azalomycin F and eLtaS or the LtaS-embedded liposome indicated that azalomcyin F can spontaneously bind to the active center of LtaS. Combining the mass spectroscopy analyses and the molecular dockings, the results further indicated that this interaction involves the binding sites of substrates and the LTA prolongation, especially the residues Lys299, Phe353, Trp354 and His416. All these suggested that azalomycin F has multiple antibacterial mechanisms against S. aureus. It can not only inhibit LTA biosynthesis through the interactions of its guanidyl side chain with the active center of LtaS but also disrupt the cell envelope through the synergistic effect of accelerating the LTA release, damaging the cell membrane, and electrostatically interacting with LTA. Simultaneously, these antibacterial mechanisms exhibit a synergistic inhibition effect on S. aureus cells, which would eventually cause the cellular autolysis.

Abstract
Natural alkaloids originating from actinomycetes and synthetic derivatives have always been among the important suppliers of small-molecule drugs. Among their biological sources, Streptomyces is the highest and most extensively researched genus. Marine-derived Streptomyces strains harbor unconventional metabolic pathways and have been demonstrated to be efficient producers of biologically active alkaloids; more than 60% of these compounds exhibit valuable activity such as antibacterial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory activities. This review comprehensively summarizes novel alkaloids produced by marine Streptomyces discovered in the past decade, focusing on their structural features, biological activity, and pharmacological mechanisms. Future perspectives on the discovery and development of novel alkaloids from marine Streptomyces are also provided.

Abstract
Octacosamicin A is an antifungal metabolite featuring a linear polyene-polyol chain flanked by N-hydroxyguanidine and glycine moieties. We report here that sub-inhibitory concentrations of streptomycin elicited the production of octacosamicin A in Amycolatopsis azurea DSM 43854T . We identified the biosynthetic gene cluster (oca BGC) that encodes a modular polyketide synthase (PKS) system for assembling the polyene-polyol chain of octacosamicin A. Our analysis suggested that the N-hydroxyguanidine unit originates from a 4-guanidinobutyryl-CoA starter unit, while the PKS incorporates an α-hydroxyketone moiety using a (2R)-hydroxymalonyl-CoA extender unit. The modular PKS system contains a non-canonical terminal module that lacks thioesterase (TE) and acyl carrier protein (ACP) domains, indicating the biosynthesis is likely to employ an unconventional and cryptic off-loading mechanism that attaches glycine to the polyene-polyol chain via an intermolecular amidation reaction.

Taxonomy and anticancer potential of Streptomyces niphimycinicus sp. nov. against nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 107:6325-6338. [PMID: 37566161 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12707-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023]
Abstract
Streptomyces species are ubiquitous, Gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria with the ability to produce various clinically relevant compounds. The strain 4503 T was isolated from mangrove sediments, showing morphological and chemical properties which were consistent with those of members of the genus Streptomyces. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the isolate was primarily identified as members of the genus Streptomyces, sharing more than 99% sequence identity to Streptomyces yatensis DSM 41771 T, S. antimycoticus NBRC 12839 T, and S. melanosporofaciens NBRC 13061 T. Average nucleotide identities (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain 4503 T and its close relatives were all below 95-96% and 75% of the novel species threshold, respectively. Results from phylogenetic, genomic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic characteristics analyses confirmed that the isolate represented a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces niphimycinicus sp. nov. 4503 T (= MCCC 1K04557T = JCM 34996 T) is proposed. The bioassay-guided fractionation of the extract of strain 4503 T resulted in the isolation of a known compound niphimycin C, which showed cytotoxic activity against nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines TW03 and 5-8F with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 12.24 µg/mL and 9.44 µg/mL, respectively. Further experiments revealed that niphimycin C not only exhibited the capacity of anti-proliferation, anti-metastasis, induction of cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis, but was also able to increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and regulate several signaling pathways in NPC cells. KEY POINTS: • Strain 4503 T was classified as a novel species of Streptomyces. • Niphimycin C correlates with the cytotoxic effect of strain 4503 T against NPC cells. • Niphimycin C induces apoptosis, autophagic flux disruption and cell cycle arrest.

Abstract
Soil-borne diseases cause significant economic losses in global agricultural production. These diseases are challenging to control due to the invasion of multiple pathogens into host plants, and traditional chemical control methods often yield unsatisfactory results. In this study, we isolated and identified an endophytic Streptomyces, designated as NEAU-ZSY13, from the leaf of Perilla frutescens. This isolate exhibited broad-spectrum antifungal activity against 17 soil-borne phytopathogenic fungi, with Bipolaris sorokiniana being the most prominent. Additionally, it displayed strong antibacterial activity against the soil-borne phytopathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum. To assess its biocontrol potential, the isolate was utilized to produce a biofertilizer through solid-state fermentation. The fermentation conditions were optimized using response surface methodology to maximize the spore production. The results revealed that more abundant spores were produced with a 1:2 ratio of vermicompost to wheat bran, 60% water content, 20% inoculation amount and 28°C. Subsequent pot experiments demonstrated that the application of the biofertilizer with a spore concentration of 108 CFU/g soil effectively suppressed the occurrence of tomato bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum and wheat root rot caused by B. sorokiniana, with biocontrol efficacies of 72.2 and 78.3%, respectively. Chemical analysis of NEAU-ZSY13 extracts, using nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry and mass analysis, identified niphimycin C and niphimycin A as the primary active constituents. These compounds exhibited high activity against R. solanacearum (EC50 of 3.6 and 2.4 μg mL-1) and B. sorokiniana (EC50 of 3.9 and 3.4 μg mL-1). In conclusion, this study demonstrates the potential of Streptomyces sp. NEAU-ZSY13 as a biofertilizer for the control of soil-borne diseases.

Mar Drugs 2023; 21:367.

Abstract
Marinolides A and B, two new 24- and 26-membered bacterial macrolactones, were isolated from the marine-derived actinobacterium AJS-327 and their stereostructures initially assigned by bioinformatic data analysis. Macrolactones typically possess complex stereochemistry, the assignments of which have been one of the most difficult undertakings in natural products chemistry, and in most cases, the use of X-ray diffraction methods and total synthesis have been the major methods of assigning their absolute configurations. More recently, however, it has become apparent that the integration of bioinformatic data is growing in utility to assign absolute configurations. Genome mining and bioinformatic analysis identified the 97 kb mld biosynthetic cluster harboring seven type I polyketide synthases. A detailed bioinformatic investigation of the ketoreductase and enoylreductase domains within the multimodular polyketide synthases, coupled with NMR and X-ray diffraction data, allowed for the absolute configurations of marinolides A and B to be determined. While using bioinformatics to assign the relative and absolute configurations of natural products has high potential, this method must be coupled with full NMR-based analysis to both confirm bioinformatic assignments as well as any additional modifications that occur during biosynthesis.

Abstract
Natural Products (NP) are essential for the discovery of novel drugs and products for numerous biotechnological applications. The NP discovery process is expensive and time-consuming, having as major hurdles dereplication (early identification of known compounds) and structure elucidation, particularly the determination of the absolute configuration of metabolites with stereogenic centers. This review comprehensively focuses on recent technological and instrumental advances, highlighting the development of methods that alleviate these obstacles, paving the way for accelerating NP discovery towards biotechnological applications. Herein, we emphasize the most innovative high-throughput tools and methods for advancing bioactivity screening, NP chemical analysis, dereplication, metabolite profiling, metabolomics, genome sequencing and/or genomics approaches, databases, bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, and three-dimensional NP structure elucidation.

Secondary Metabolites from Marine-Derived Bacteria with Antibiotic and Antibiofilm Activities against Drug-Resistant Pathogens. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:md21010050. [PMID: 36662223 PMCID: PMC9861457 DOI: 10.3390/md21010050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The search for new antibiotics against drug-resistant microbes has been expanded to marine bacteria. Marine bacteria have been proven to be a prolific source of a myriad of novel compounds with potential biological activities. Therefore, this review highlights novel and bioactive compounds from marine bacteria reported during the period of January 2016 to December 2021. Published articles containing novel marine bacterial secondary metabolites that are active against drug-resistant pathogens were collected. Previously described compounds (prior to January 2016) are not included in this review. Unreported compounds during this period that exhibited activity against pathogenic microbes were discussed and compared in order to find the cue of the structure-bioactivity relationship. The results showed that Streptomyces are the most studied bacteria with undescribed bioactive compounds, followed by other genera in the Actinobacteria. We have categorized the structures of the compounds in the present review into four groups, based on their biosynthetic origins, as polyketide derivatives, amino acid derivatives, terpenoids, as well as compounds with mixed origin. These compounds were active against one or more drug-resistant pathogens, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB), and amphotericin B-resistant Candida albicans. In addition, some of the compounds also showed activity against biofilm formation of the test bacteria. Some previously undescribed compounds, isolated from marine-derived bacteria during this period, could have a good potential as lead compounds for the development of drug candidates to overcome multidrug-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
Metabolic profiling of the extracts from a library of actinobacteria led to the identification of a novel polyketide, demurilactone A, produced by Streptomyces strain DEM21308. The structure of the compound was assigned based on a detailed investigation of 1D/2D NMR spectra and HR-MS. Whole genome DNA sequencing, followed by bioinformatics analysis and insertional mutagenesis, identified type I polyketide synthases encoded by the dml gene cluster to direct the biosynthesis of this polyene macrolide. While the number of modules is consistent with the carbon backbone of the assigned structure, some discrepancies were identified in the domain organization of five modules. Close investigation of the amino acid sequences identified several mutations in the conserved motifs of nonfunctional domains. Furthermore, the absolute configuration of hydroxy-bearing stereocenters was proposed based on analyses of the ketoreductase domains. Remarkably, although demurilactone A has little detectable activity against normal-walled bacteria, it specifically inhibits the growth of cell wall-deficient "L-form" Bacillus subtilis at a minimum inhibitory concentration value of 16 μg/mL. Time-lapse microscopy analyses revealed that demurilactone affects membrane dynamics, probably by reducing membrane fluidity. This compound could be a powerful reagent for studying long-standing questions about the involvement of L-forms in recurrent infection.

Abstract
Tuberculosis has become a major health problem globally. This is worsened by the emergence of resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis showing ability to evade the effectiveness of the current antimycobacterial therapies. Therefore, the efforts carried out to explore new entities from many sources, including marine, are critical. This review summarizes several marine-derived macrolides that show promising activity against M. tuberculosis. We also provide information regarding the biosynthetic processes of marine macrolides, including the challenges that are usually experienced in this process. As most of the studies reporting the antimycobacterial activities of the listed marine macrolides are based on in vitro studies, the future direction should consider expanding the trials to in vivo and clinical trials. In addition, in silico studies should also be explored for a quick screening on marine macrolides with potent activities against mycobacterial infection. To sum up, macrolides derived from marine organisms might become therapeutical options for tackling antimycobacterial resistance of M. tuberculosis.

Abstract
Banana Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is the most destructive soil-borne fungal disease. Tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), one of the strains of Foc, can infect many commercial cultivars, which represents a threat to global banana production. Currently, there are hardly any effective chemical fungicides to control the disease. To search for natural product-based fungicides for controlling banana Fusarium wilt, we identified a novel strain Streptomyces yongxingensis sp. nov. (JCM 34965) from a marine soft coral, from which a bioactive compound, niphimycin C, was isolated using an activity-guided method. Niphimycin C exhibited a strong antifungal activity against Foc TR4 with a value of 1.20 μg/mL for EC50 and obviously inhibited the mycelial growth and spore germination of Foc TR4. It caused the functional loss of mitochondria and the disorder of metabolism of Foc TR4 cells. Further study showed that niphimycin C reduced key enzyme activities of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and the electron transport chain (ETC). It displayed broad-spectrum antifungal activities against the selected 12 phytopathogenic fungi. In pot experiments, niphimycin C reduced the disease indexes in banana plantlets and inhibited the infection of Foc TR4 in roots. Hence, niphimycin C could be a promising agrochemical fungicide for the management of fungal diseases.

Marine Actinobacteria a New Source of Antibacterial Metabolites to Treat Acne Vulgaris Disease—A Systematic Literature Review. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11070965. [PMID: 35884220 PMCID: PMC9311749 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11070965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial disease that remains under-explored; up to date it is known that the bacterium Cutibacterium acnes is involved in the disease occurrence, also associated with a microbial dysbiosis. Antibiotics have become a mainstay treatment generating the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In addition, there are some reported side effects of alternative treatments, which indicate the need to investigate a different therapeutic approach. Natural products continue to be an excellent option, especially those extracted from actinobacteria, which represent a prominent source of metabolites with a wide range of biological activities, particularly the marine actinobacteria, which have been less studied than their terrestrial counterparts. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to identify and evaluate the potential anti-infective activity of metabolites isolated from marine actinobacteria strains against bacteria related to the development of acne vulgaris disease. It was found that there is a variety of compounds with anti-infective activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, bacteria closely related to acne vulgaris development; nevertheless, there is no report of a compound with antibacterial activity or quorum-sensing inhibition toward C. acnes, which is a surprising result. Since two of the most widely used antibiotics for the treatment of acne targeting C. acnes were obtained from actinobacteria of the genus Streptomyces, this demonstrates a great opportunity to pursue further studies in this field, considering the potential of marine actinobacteria to produce new anti-infective compounds.

Streptomyces: Still the Biggest Producer of New Natural Secondary Metabolites, a Current Perspective. MICROBIOLOGY RESEARCH 2022.

Abstract
There is a real consensus that new antibiotics are urgently needed and are the best chance for combating antibiotic resistance. The phylum Actinobacteria is one of the main producers of new antibiotics, with a recent paradigm shift whereby rare actinomycetes have been increasingly targeted as a source of new secondary metabolites for the discovery of new antibiotics. However, this review shows that the genus Streptomyces is still the largest current producer of new and innovative secondary metabolites. Between January 2015 and December 2020, a significantly high number of novel Streptomyces spp. have been isolated from different environments, including extreme environments, symbionts, terrestrial soils, sediments and also from marine environments, mainly from marine invertebrates and marine sediments. This review highlights 135 new species of Streptomyces during this 6-year period with 108 new species of Streptomyces from the terrestrial environment and 27 new species from marine sources. A brief summary of the different pre-treatment methods used for the successful isolation of some of the new species of Streptomyces is also discussed, as well as the biological activities of the isolated secondary metabolites. A total of 279 new secondary metabolites have been recorded from 121 species of Streptomyces which exhibit diverse biological activity. The greatest number of new secondary metabolites originated from the terrestrial-sourced Streptomyces spp.

Abstract
Covering: July 2010 to August 2021This article summarizes more than 200 cases of misassigned marine natural products reported between July 2010 and August 2021, sorting out errors according to the structural elements. Based on a comparative analysis of the original and the revised structures, major pitfalls still plaguing the structural elucidation of small molecules were identified, emphasizing the role of total synthesis, crystallography, as well as chemical- and biosynthetic logic to complement spectroscopic data. Distinct "trends" in natural product misassignment are evident between compounds of marine and plant origin, with an overall much lower incidence of "impossible" structures within misassigned marine natural products.

Abstract
A metabolomics/peptidomics and genomics approach, using UPLC-MSE, molecular networking, and genome mining, was used to describe the serrawettin W2 lipopeptide family produced by Serratia marcescens NP2. Seven known serrawettin W2 analogues were structurally elucidated along with 17 new analogues, which varied based on the first (fatty acyl length of C8, C10, C12, or C12:1), fifth (Phe, Tyr, Trp, or Leu/Ile), and sixth (Leu, Ile, or Val) residues. Tandem MS results suggested that the previously classified serrawettin W3 may be an analogue of serrawettin W2, with a putative structure of cyclo(C10H18O2-Leu-Ser-Thr-Leu/Ile-Val). Chiral phase amino acid analysis enabled the distinction between l/d-Leu and l-Ile residues within nine purified compounds. 1H and 13C NMR analyses confirmed the structures of four purified new analogues. Additionally, genome mining was conducted using Serratia genome sequences available on the NCBI database to identify the swrA gene using the antiSMASH software. NRPSpredictor2 predicted the specificity score of the adenylation-domain within swrA with 100% for the first, second, and third modules (Leu-Ser-Thr), 60-70% for the fourth module (Phe/Trp/Tyr/Val), and 70% for the fifth module (Val/Leu/Ile), confirming MSE data. Finally, antibacterial activity was observed for compounds 6 and 11 against a clinical Enterococcus faecium strain.

Abstract
Total synthesis of rakicidin F was accomplished in 20 linear steps (0.68% overall yield), which enabled the configural determination of its six stereogenic centers as 2R, 15R, 16R, 17S, 19S, and 21S. The macrolactonization of the rakicidin linear precursor was investigated and the unsuccessful results might be attributed to the steric hindrance near C16-OH.

Abstract
Six new 16-residue peptaibols, acremopeptaibols A-F (1-6), along with five known compounds, were isolated from the cultures of the sponge-associated fungus Acremonium sp. IMB18-086 grown in the presence of the autoclaved bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa on solid rice medium. The peptaibol sequences were established based on comprehensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data in conjunction with HRESIMS/MS experiments. The configurations of the amino acid residues were determined by advanced Marfey's analysis. Compounds 1-6 feature the lack of the highly conserved Thr6 and Hyp10 residues in comparison with other members of the SF3 subfamily peptaibols. A plausible biosynthetic pathway of compounds 1-6 was proposed on the basis of genomic analysis. Compounds 1, 5, 7, and 10 exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans. Compounds 7-10 showed potent cytotoxicities against the A549 and/or HepG2 cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Phytopathogenic fungi infect crops, presenting a worldwide threat to agriculture. Polyene macrolides are one of the most effective antifungal agents applied in human therapy and crop protection. In this study, we found a cryptic polyene biosynthetic gene cluster in Actinokineospora spheciospongiae by genome mining. Then, this gene cluster was activated via varying fermentation conditions, leading to the discovery of new polyene actinospene (1), which was subsequently isolated and its structure determined through spectroscopic techniques including UV, HR-MS, and NMR. The absolute configuration was confirmed by comparing the calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Unlike known polyene macrolides, actinospene (1) demonstrated more versatile post-assembling decorations including two epoxide groups and an unusual isobutenyl side chain. In bioassays, actinospene (1) showed a broad spectrum of antifungal activity against several plant fungal pathogens as well as pathogenic yeasts with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging between 2 and 10 μg/mL.

Pharmacokinetics of Azalomycin F, a Natural Macrolide Produced by Streptomycete Strains, in Rats. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26216464.

Abstract
As antimicrobial resistance has been increasing, new antimicrobial agents are desperately needed. Azalomycin F, a natural polyhydroxy macrolide, presents remarkable antimicrobial activities. To investigate its pharmacokinetic characteristics in rats, the concentrations of azalomycin F contained in biological samples, in vitro, were determined using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography–ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) method, and, in vivo, samples were assayed by an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC–MS/MS) method. Based on these methods, the pharmacokinetics of azalomycin F were first investigated. Its plasma concentration-time courses and pharmacokinetic parameters in rats were obtained by a non-compartment model for oral (26.4 mg/kg) and intravenous (2.2 mg/kg) administrations. The results indicate that the oral absolute bioavailability of azalomycin F is very low (2.39 ± 1.28%). From combinational analyses of these pharmacokinetic parameters, and of the results of the in-vitro absorption and metabolism experiments, we conclude that azalomycin F is absorbed relatively slowly and with difficulty by the intestinal tract, and subsequently can be rapidly distributed into the tissues and/or intracellular f of rats. Azalomycin F is stable in plasma, whole blood, and the liver, and presents plasma protein binding ratios of more than 90%. Moreover, one of the major elimination routes of azalomycin F is its excretion through bile and feces. Together, the above indicate that azalomycin F is suitable for administration by intravenous injection when used for systemic diseases, while, by oral administration, it can be used in the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
![]()
The
stambomycins
are a family of bioactive macrolides isolated
from Streptomyces ambofaciens. Aside from two stereocenters
installed through cytochrome P450 oxidations, their stereochemistry
has been predicted by sequence analysis of the polyketide synthase.
We report a synthesis of the C1–C27 fragment of stambomycin
D, the spectroscopic data of which correlates well with that of the
natural product, further validating predictive sequence analysis as
a powerful tool for stereochemical assignment of complex polyketide
natural products.

Comparative Genomics Reveals a Remarkable Biosynthetic Potential of the Streptomyces Phylogenetic Lineage Associated with Rugose-Ornamented Spores. mSystems 2021; 6:e0048921.

Abstract
The genus Streptomyces is one of the richest sources of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Sequencing of a large number of genomes has provided evidence that this well-known bacterial genus still harbors a large number of cryptic BGCs, and their metabolites are yet to be discovered. When taking a gene-first approach for new natural product discovery, BGC prioritization would be the most crucial step for the discovery of novel chemotypes. We hypothesized that strains with a greater number of BGCs would also contain a greater number of silent unique BGCs due to the presence of complex regulatory systems. Based on this hypothesis, we employed a comparative genomics approach to identify a specific Streptomyces phylogenetic lineage with the highest and yet-uncharacterized biosynthetic potential. A comparison of BGC abundance and genome size across 158 phylogenetically diverse Streptomyces type strains identified that members of the phylogenetic group characterized by the formation of rugose-ornamented spores possess the greatest number of BGCs (average, 50 BGCs) and also the largest genomes (average, 11.5 Mb). The study of genetic and biosynthetic diversities using comparative genomics of 11 sequenced genomes and a genetic similarity network analysis of BGCs suggested that members of this group carry a large number of unique BGCs, the majority of which are cryptic and not associated with any known natural product. We believe that members of this Streptomyces phylogenetic group possess a remarkable biosynthetic potential and thus would be a good target for a metabolite characterization study that could lead to the discovery of novel chemotypes. IMPORTANCE It is now well recognized that members of the genus Streptomyces still harbor a large number of cryptic BGCs in their genomes, which are mostly silent under laboratory culture conditions. Activation of transcriptionally silent BGCs is technically challenging and thus forms a bottleneck when taking a gene-first approach for the discovery of new natural products. Thus, it is important to focus activation efforts on strains with BGCs that have the potential to produce novel metabolites. The clade-level analysis of biosynthetic diversity could provide insights into the relationship between phylogenetic lineage and biosynthetic diversity. By exploring BGC abundance in relation to Streptomyces phylogeny, we identified a specific monophyletic lineage associated with the highest BGC abundance. Then, using a combined analysis of comparative genomics and a genetic network, we demonstrated that members of this lineage are genetically and biosynthetically diverse, contain a large number of cryptic BGCs with novel genotypes, and thus would be a good target for metabolite characterization studies.

Abstract
Morphotype switches frequently occur in Actinobacteria and are often associated with disparate natural product production. Here, we report on differences in the secondary metabolomes of two morphotypes of a Streptomyces species, including the discovery of a novel antimicrobial glycosylated macrolide, which we named termidomycin A. While exhibiting an unusual 46-member polyene backbone, termidomycin A (1) shares structural features with the clinically important antifungal agents amphotericin B and nystatin A1. Genomic analyses revealed a biosynthetic gene cluster encoding for a putative giant type I polyketide synthase (PKS), whose domain structure allowed us to propose the relative configuration of the 46-member macrolide. The architecture of the biosynthetic gene cluster was different in both morphotypes, thus leading to diversification of the product spectrum. Given the high frequency of genomic rearrangements in Streptomycetes, the metabolic analysis of distinct morphotypes as exemplified in this study is a promising approach for the discovery of bioactive natural products and pathways of diversification.

Abstract
Actinobacteria have been a rich source of novel, structurally complex natural products for many decades. Although the largest genus is Streptomyces, from which the majority of antibiotics in current and past clinical use were originally isolated, other less common genera also have the potential to produce a wealth of novel secondary metabolites. One example is the Kutzneria genus, which currently contains only five reported species. One of these species is Kutzneria albida DSM 43870T, which has 46 predicted biosynthetic gene clusters and is known to produce the macrolide antibiotic aculeximycin. Here, we report the isolation and structural characterization of two novel 30-membered glycosylated macrolides, epemicins A and B, that are structurally related to aculeximycin, from a rare Kutzneria sp. The absolute configuration for all chiral centers in the two compounds is proposed based on extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies and bioinformatics analysis of the gene cluster. Through heterologous expression and genetic inactivation, we have confirmed the link between the biosynthetic gene cluster and the new molecules. These findings show the potential of rare Actinobacteria to produce new, structurally diverse metabolites. Furthermore, the gene inactivation represents the first published report to genetically manipulate a representative of the Kutzneria genus.

Abstract
Bacterial natural products (NPs) are still a major source of new drug leads. Polyketides (PKs) and non-ribosomal peptides (NRP) are two pharmaceutically important families of NPs and recent studies have revealed Antarctica to harbor endemic polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes, likely to be involved in the production of novel metabolites. Despite this, the diversity of secondary metabolites genes in Antarctica is still poorly explored. In this study, a computational bioprospection approach was employed to study the diversity and identity of PKS and NRPS genes to one of the most biodiverse areas in maritime Antarctica—Maxwell Bay. Amplicon sequencing of soil samples targeting ketosynthase (KS) and adenylation (AD) domains of PKS and NRPS genes, respectively, revealed abundant and unexplored chemical diversity in this peninsula. About 20% of AD domain sequences were only distantly related to characterized biosynthetic genes. Several PKS and NRPS genes were found to be closely associated to recently described metabolites including those from uncultured and candidate phyla. The combination of new approaches in computational biology and new culture-dependent and -independent strategies is thus critical for the recovery of the potential novel chemistry encoded in Antarctica microorganisms.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21030862.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance has emerged as a serious threat to public health. Bacterial biofilm, as a natural lifestyle, is a major contributor to resistance to antimicrobials. Azalomycin F5a, a natural guanidine-containing polyhydroxy macrolide, has remarkable activities against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, a major causative agent of hospital-acquired infections. To further evaluate its potential to be developed as a new antimicrobial agent, its influence on S. aureus biofilm formation was evaluated using the crystal violet method, and then its eradication effect against mature biofilms was determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy, the drop plate method, and regrowth experiments. The results showed that azalomycin F5a could significantly inhibit S. aureus biofilm formation, and such effects were concentration dependent. In addition, it can also eradicate S. aureus mature biofilms with the minimum biofilm eradication concentration of 32.0 μg/mL. As extracellular deoxyribonucleic acid (eDNA) plays important roles in the structural integrity of bacterial biofilm, its influence on the eDNA release in S. aureus biofilm was further analyzed using gel electrophoresis. Combined with our previous works, these results indicate that azalomycin F5a could rapidly penetrate biofilm and causes damages to the cell membrane, leading to an increase in DNase release and eventually eradicating S. aureus biofilm.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance has been seriously threatening human health, and discovering new antimicrobial agents from the natural resource is still an important pathway among various strategies to prevent resistance. Guanidine-containing polyhydroxyl macrolides, containing a polyhydroxyl lactone ring and a guanidyl side chain, can be produced by many actinomycetes and have been proved to possess many bioactivities, especially broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activities. To explore the potential of these compounds to be developed into new antimicrobial agents, a review on their structural diversities, spectroscopic characterizations, bioactivities, acute toxicities, antimicrobial mechanisms, and the structure-activity relationship was first performed based on the summaries and analyses of related publications from 1959 to 2019. A total of 63 guanidine-containing polyhydroxyl macrolides were reported, including 46 prototype compounds isolated from 33 marine and terrestrial actinomycetes and 17 structural derivatives. Combining with their antimicrobial mechanisms, structure-activity relationship analyses indicated that the terminal guanidine group and lactone ring of these compounds are vital for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Further, based on their bioactivities and toxicity analyses, the discovery of guanidyl side-chain targeting to lipoteichoic acid of Staphylococcus aureus indicated that these compounds have a great potency to be developed into antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Identification and analysis of the whole genome of the marine-derived fungus Penicillium brasilianum HBU-136 revealed the presence of an interesting biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) for non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS), highly homologous to the BGCs of indole-diketopiperazine derivatives. With the aid of genomic analysis, eight indole-diketopiperazines (1−8), including three new compounds, spirotryprostatin G (1), and cyclotryprostatins F and G (2 and 3), were obtained by large-scale cultivation of the fungal strain HBU-136 using rice medium with 1.0% MgCl2. The absolute configurations of 1−3 were determined by comparison of their experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) with calculated ECD spectra. Selective cytotoxicities were observed for compounds 1 and 4 against HL-60 cell line with the IC50 values of 6.0 and 7.9 μM, respectively, whereas 2, 3, and 5 against MCF-7 cell line with the IC50 values of 7.6, 10.8, and 5.1 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Actinosynnema is a small but well-known genus of actinomycetes for production of ansamitocin, the payload component of antibody-drug conjugates against cancers. However, the secondary metabolite production profile of Actinosynnema pretiosum ATCC 31565, the most famous producer of ansamitocin, has never been fully explored. Our antiSMASH analysis of the genomic DNA of Actinosynnema pretiosum ATCC 31565 revealed a NRPS-PKS gene cluster for polyene macrolactam. The gene cluster is very similar to gene clusters for mirilactam and salinilactam, two 26-membered polyene macrolactams from Actinosynnema mirum and Salinispora tropica, respectively. Guided by this bioinformatics prediction, we characterized a novel 26-membered polyene macrolactam from Actinosynnema pretiosum ATCC 31565 and designated it pretilactam. The structure of pretilactam was elucidated by a comprehensive analysis of HRMS, 1D and 2D-NMR, with absolute configuration of chiral carbons predicted bioinformatically. Pretilactam features a dihydroxy tetrahydropyran moiety, and has a hexaene unit and a diene unit as its polyene system. A preliminary antibacterial assay indicated that pretilactam is inactive against Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans.

[PMID: 30241346 PMCID: PMC6213009 DOI: 10.3390/md16100345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2018] [Revised: 09/17/2018] [Accepted: 09/18/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Six new tetracenomycin congeners, saccharothrixones E⁻I (1⁻5) and 13-de-O-methyltetracenomycin X (6), were isolated from the rare marine-derived actinomycete Saccharothrix sp. 10-10. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT)-electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Saccharothrixones G (3) and H (4) are the first examples of tetracenomycins featuring a novel ring-A-cleaved chromophore. Saccharothrixone I (5) was determined to be a seco-tetracenomycin derivative with ring-B cleavage. The new structural characteristics, highlighted by different oxidations at C-5 and cleavages in rings A and B, enrich the structural diversity of tetracenomycins and provide evidence for tetracenomycin biosynthesis. Analysis of the structure⁻activity relationship of these compounds confirmed the importance of the planarity of the naphthacenequinone chromophore and the methylation of the polar carboxy groups for tetracenomycin cytotoxicity.
