Cofactor-independent C-C bond cleavage reactions catalyzed by the AlpJ family of oxygenases in atypical angucycline biosynthesis. Beilstein J Org Chem 2024; 20:1198-1206.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of atypical angucyclines involves unique oxidative B-ring cleavage and rearrangement reactions, which are catalyzed by AlpJ-family oxygenases, including AlpJ, JadG, and GilOII. Prior investigations established the essential requirement for FADH2/FMNH2 as cofactors when utilizing the quinone intermediate dehydrorabelomycin as a substrate. In this study, we unveil a previously unrecognized facet of these enzymes as cofactor-independent oxygenases when employing the hydroquinone intermediate CR1 as a substrate. The enzymes autonomously drive oxidative ring cleavage and rearrangement reactions of CR1, yielding products identical to those observed in cofactor-dependent reactions of AlpJ-family oxygenases. Furthermore, the AlpJ- and JadG-catalyzed reactions of CR1 could be quenched by superoxide dismutase, supporting a catalytic mechanism wherein the substrate CR1 reductively activates molecular oxygen, generating a substrate radical and the superoxide anion O2 •-. Our findings illuminate a substrate-controlled catalytic mechanism of AlpJ-family oxygenases, expanding the realm of cofactor-independent oxygenases. Notably, AlpJ-family oxygenases stand as a pioneering example of enzymes capable of catalyzing oxidative reactions in either an FADH2/FMNH2-dependent or cofactor-independent manner.

Chemical and microbial diversity of a tropical intertidal ascidian holobiont. MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 194:106303.

Abstract
The tropical ascidian Eudistoma vannamei, endemic to the northeastern coast of Brazil, is considered a prolific source of secondary metabolites and hosts Actinomycetota that produce bioactive compounds. Herein, we used an omics approach to study the ascidian as a holobiont, including the microbial diversity through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolite production using mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Gene sequencing analysis revealed all samples of E. vannamei shared about 50% of the observed ASVs, and Pseudomonadota (50.7%), Planctomycetota (9.58%), Actinomycetota (10.34%), Bacteroidota (12.05%) were the most abundant bacterial phyla. Analysis of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data allowed annotation of compounds, including phospholipids, amino acids, and pyrimidine alkaloids, such as staurosporine, a member of a well-known chemical class recognized as a microbial metabolite. Isolated bacteria, mainly belonging to Streptomyces and Micromonospora genera, were cultivated and extracted with ethyl acetate. MS/MS analysis of bacterial extracts allowed annotation of compounds not detected in the ascidian tissue, including marineosin and dihydroergotamine, yielding about 30% overlapped ions between host and isolated bacteria. This study reveals E. vannamei as a rich source of microbial and chemical diversity and, furthermore, highlights the importance of omic tools for a comprehensive investigation of holobiont systems.

Abstract
Unprecedented Staudinger reaction modes of secondary phosphine oxides (SPO) and organic azides are herein disclosed. By the application of various additives, selective nitrogen atom exclusion from the azide group has been achieved. Chlorotrimethylsilane mediates a stereoretentive Staudinger reaction with a 2-N exclusion which provides a valuable method for the synthesis of phosphinic amides and can be considered complementary to the stereoinvertive Atherton-Todd reaction. Alternatively, a 1-N exclusion pathway is promoted by acetic acid to provide the corresponding diazo compound. The effectiveness of this protocol has been further demonstrated by the total synthesis of the diazo-containing natural product LL-D05139β, which was prepared as a potassium salt for the first time in 6 steps and 26.5 % overall yield.

Abstract
Analytical methods allow for the structure determination of submilligram quantities of complex secondary metabolites. This has been driven in large part by advances in NMR spectroscopic capabilities, including access to high-field magnets equipped with cryogenic probes. Experimental NMR spectroscopy may now be complemented by remarkably accurate carbon-13 NMR calculations using state-of-the-art DFT software packages. Additionally, microED analysis stands to have a profound effect on structure elucidation by providing X-ray-like images of microcrystalline samples of analytes. Nonetheless, lingering pitfalls in structure elucidation remain, particularly for isolates that are unstable or highly oxidized. In this Account, we discuss three projects from our laboratory that highlight nonoverlapping challenges to the field, with implications for chemical, synthetic, and mechanism of action studies. We first discuss the lomaiviticins, complex unsaturated polyketide natural products disclosed in 2001. The original structures were derived from NMR, HRMS, UV-vis, and IR analysis. Owing to the synthetic challenges presented by their structures and the absence of X-ray crystallographic data, the structure assignments remained untested for nearly two decades. In 2021, the Nelson group at Caltech carried out microED analysis of (-)-lomaiviticin C, leading to the startling discovery that the original structure assignment of the lomaiviticins was incorrect. Acquisition of higher-field (800 MHz 1H, cold probe) NMR data as well as DFT calculations provided insights into the basis for the original misassignment and lent further support to the new structure identified by microED. Reanalysis of the 2001 data set reveals that the two structure assignments are nearly indistinguishable, underscoring the limitations of NMR-based characterization. We then discuss the structure elucidation of colibactin, a complex, nonisolable microbiome metabolite implicated in colorectal cancer. The colibactin biosynthetic gene cluster was detected in 2006, but owing to colibactin's instability and low levels of production, it could not be isolated or characterized. We used a combination of chemical synthesis, mechanism of action studies, and biosynthetic analysis to identify the substructures in colibactin. These studies, coupled with isotope labeling and tandem MS analysis of colibactin-derived DNA interstrand cross-links, ultimately led to a structure assignment for the metabolite. We then discuss the ocimicides, plant secondary metabolites that were studied as agents against drug-resistant P. falciparum. We synthesized the core structure of the ocimicides and found significant discrepancies between our experimental NMR spectroscopic data and that reported for the natural products. We determined the theoretical carbon-13 NMR shifts for 32 diastereomers of the ocimicides. These studies indicated that a revision of the connectivity of the metabolites is likely needed. We end with some thoughts on the frontiers of secondary metabolite structure determination. As modern NMR computational methods are straightforward to execute, we advocate for their systematic use in validating the assignments of novel secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Here, we report an enantioselective synthesis of the monomeric nes product (-)-nenestatin A, via the intermediary diazofluorene "diazonenestatin A." Our route features a convergent, aldol-based fragment coupling to assemble the carbon skeleton and a diazotransfer to a highly conjugated tetracyclic fulvene. We find that diazonenestatin A is transformed to nenestatin A under conditions that mimic the bacterial fermentation, suggesting that the nes pathway may produce unstable diazofluorene products that have eluded isolation.

Abstract
One of the important reactions to obtain a new carbon-carbon bond is the Stetter reaction, which is generally via a nucleophilic catalyst like cyanide or thiazolium-NHC catalysts. In particular, 1,4-diketones with very functional properties are obtained by the Stetter reaction with the intermolecular reaction of an aldehyde and an α,β-unsaturated ketone. In this study, we synthesized new derivatives (substituted arenoxy) of 1,4-diketone compounds (2a-2n) with useful features by a new version of the Stetter reaction method. In our work, arenoxy benzaldehyde derivatives with different structures as the Michael donor and methyl vinyl ketone as the Michael acceptor were used for the intermolecular Stetter reaction. The reaction was catalyzed by 3-benzyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazolium chloride (3b), using triethylamine for the basic medium and dimethyl sulfoxide as the solvent. As a result, some novel arenoxy-substituted 1,4-diketones were gained with good yields at room temperature within 24 h through an intermolecular Stetter reaction. In addition, new furan and pyrrole derivatives were prepared by performing the cyclization reaction with one of the obtained new diketone compounds.

Abstract
We describe a stereocontrolled synthesis of 3, the fully glycosylated monomeric unit of the dimeric cytotoxic bacterial metabolite (-)-lomaiviticin A (2). A novel strategy involving convergent, site- and stereoselective coupling of the β,γ-unsaturated ketone 6 and the naphthyl bromide 7 (92%, 15:1 diastereomeric ratio (dr)), followed by radical-based annulation and silyl ether cleavage, provided the tetracycle 5 (57% overall), which contains the carbon skeleton of the aglycon of 3. The β-linked 2,4,6-trideoxy-4-aminoglycoside l-pyrrolosamine was installed in 73% yield and with 15:1 β:α selectivity using a modified Koenigs-Knorr glycosylation. The diazo substituent was introduced via direct diazo transfer to an electron-rich benzoindene (4 → 27). The α-linked 2,6-dideoxyglycoside l-oleandrose was introduced by gold-catalyzed activation of an o-alkynyl glycosylbenzoate (75%, >20:1 α:β selectivity). A carefully orchestrated endgame sequence then provided efficient access to 3. Cell viability studies indicated that monomer 3 is not cytotoxic at concentrations up to 1 μM, providing conclusive evidence that the dimeric structure of (-)-lomaiviticin A (2) is required for cytotoxic effects. The preparation of 3 provides a foundation to complete the synthesis of (-)-lomaiviticin A (2) itself.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common, and deadly disease. Despite the improved knowledge on CRC heterogeneity and advances in the medical sciences, there is still an urgent need to cope with the challenges and side effects of common treatments for the disease. Natural products (NPs) have always been of interest for the development of new medicines. Actinobacteria are known to be prolific producers of a wide range of bioactive NPs, and scientific evidence highlights their important protective role against CRC. This review is a holistic picture on actinobacter-derived cytotoxic compounds against CRC that provides a good perspective for drug development and design in near future. This review also describes the chemical structure of 232 NPs presenting anti-CRC activity with the being majority of quinones, lactones, alkaloids, peptides, and glycosides. The study reveals that most of these NPs are derived from marine actinobacteria followed by terrestrial and endophytic actinobacteria, respectively. They are predominantly produced by Streptomyces, Micromonospors, Saliniospors and Actinomadura, respectively, in which Streptomyces, as the predominant contributor generating over 76% of compounds exclusively. Besides it provides a valuable snapshot of the chemical structure-activity relationship of compounds, highlighting the presence or absence of some specific atoms and chemical units in the structure of compounds can greatly influence their biological activities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review on natural actinobacterial compounds affecting different types of CRC. Our study reveals that the high diversity of actinobacterial strains and their NPs derivatives, described here provides a new perspective and direction for the production of new anti-CRC drugs and paves the way to innovation for drugs discovery in the future. The knowledge obtain from this review can help us to understand the pivotal application of actinobacteria in future drugs development.

Abstract
Marine actinomycetes produce a substantial number of natural products with cytotoxic activity. The strains of actinomycetes were isolated from different sources like fishes, coral, sponges, seaweeds, mangroves, sediments etc. These cytotoxic compounds can be categorized briefly into four classes: polyketides, non-ribosomal peptides and hybrids, isoprenoids and hybrids, and others, among which majority are polyketides (146). Twenty two out of the 254 compounds showed potent cytotoxicity with IC50 values at ng/mL or nM level. This review highlights the sources, structures and antitumor activity of 254 natural products isolated from marine actinomycetes, which were new when they were reported from 1989 to 2020.

[PMID: 35056500 PMCID: PMC8780112 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10010051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2021] [Revised: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Agricultural sustainability is of foremost importance for maintaining high food production. Irresponsible resource use not only negatively affects agroecology, but also reduces the economic profitability of the production system. Among different resources, soil is one of the most vital resources of agriculture. Soil fertility is the key to achieve high crop productivity. Maintaining soil fertility and soil health requires conscious management effort to avoid excessive nutrient loss, sustain organic carbon content, and minimize soil contamination. Though the use of chemical fertilizers have successfully improved crop production, its integration with organic manures and other bioinoculants helps in improving nutrient use efficiency, improves soil health and to some extent ameliorates some of the constraints associated with excessive fertilizer application. In addition to nutrient supplementation, bioinoculants have other beneficial effects such as plant growth-promoting activity, nutrient mobilization and solubilization, soil decontamination and/or detoxification, etc. During the present time, high energy based chemical inputs also caused havoc to agriculture because of the ill effects of global warming and climate change. Under the consequences of climate change, the use of bioinputs may be considered as a suitable mitigation option. Bioinoculants, as a concept, is not something new to agricultural science, however; it is one of the areas where consistent innovations have been made. Understanding the role of bioinoculants, the scope of their use, and analysing their performance in various environments are key to the successful adaptation of this technology in agriculture.

Abstract
The actinomycetes have proven to be a rich source of bioactive secondary metabolites and play a critical role in the development of pharmaceutical researches. With interactions of host organisms and having special ecological status, the actinomycetes associated with marine animals, marine plants, macroalgae, cyanobacteria, and lichens have more potential to produce active metabolites acting as chemical defenses to protect the host from predators as well as microbial infection. This review focuses on 536 secondary metabolites (SMs) from actinomycetes associated with these marine organisms covering the literature to mid-2021, which will highlight the taxonomic diversity of actinomycetes and the structural classes, biological activities of SMs. Among all the actinomycetes listed, members of Streptomyces (68%), Micromonospora (6%), and Nocardiopsis (3%) are dominant producers of secondary metabolites. Additionally, alkaloids (37%), polyketides (33%), and peptides (15%) comprise the largest proportion of natural products with mostly antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the data analysis and clinical information of SMs have been summarized in this article, suggesting that some of these actinomycetes with multiple host organisms deserve more attention to their special ecological status and genetic factors.

Abstract
Background: In the past decade, metabolites of marine microorganisms have been increasingly used for their various biological activities. An intense effort has been dedicated to assessing the therapeutic efficacy of the marine natural products and metabolites obtained from marine bacteria in cancer therapy. Fast and reliable analytical bacterial genome sequencing provides specialized bioinformatic tools to identify potential gene clusters in bacteria for obtaining secondary metabolites. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the genome sequences of marine bacteria to recognize bioactive compounds with anti-cancer properties. Methods: Marine bacteria with the genomic sequences registered in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) genome database were used in this study. The genome was analyzed for proteins, tRNAs, and rRNAs from GenBank entries by Feature Extract 1.2L Server. The Anti-SMASH webserver was used for the analysis of unique marine bacterial metabolites of the marine bacterial genome, available from the NCBI database. Results: A number of marine bacterial species, including Salinispora arenicola, Salinispora tropica, Crocosphaera watsonii, and Blastopirellula marina encoded metabolites belonging to the polyketide and nonribosomal peptide (NRP) families, showing anti-cancer properties. Among the marine species described, S. tropica and S. arenicola are richer in the genes encoding polyketide and NRP with potential antitumor activities. Conclusions: Marine bacteria are an excellent and exceptional source of anti-cancer compounds. In silico genome analysis of marine bacteria provided an opportunity to evaluate gene clusters for known natural products. Like this chemical engineering approaches for pharmaceutical application are useful in clinical evaluation of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Benzofluorene-containing atypical angucyclines are an important family of natural products with a broad spectrum of antibacterial and cytotoxic properties. Interestingly, symmetric and asymmetric dimers showed better activity than the monomer in this class of compounds. Herein, we reported the isolation of a new asymmetric dimer nenestatin B (2) from the deep sea actinomycete Micromonospora echinospora SCSIO 04089 and a monomer nenestatin C (3) from an NmrA family regulatory protein coding gene nes18 inactivated mutant. The structural elucidation of 3 indicated the essential role of Nes18 in the biosynthetic pathway of 2, specifically in dimerization via C-C bond formation.

Abstract
Convergent syntheses are characterized by the coupling of two or more synthetic intermediates of similar complexity, often late in a pathway. At its limit, a fully convergent synthesis is achieved when commercial or otherwise readily available intermediates are coupled to form the final target in a single step. Of course, in all but exceptional circumstances this level of convergence is purely hypothetical; in practice, additional steps are typically required to progress from fragment coupling to the target. Additionally, the length of the sequence required to access each target is a primary consideration in synthetic design.In this Account, we provide an overview of alkaloid, polyketide, and diterpene metabolites synthesized in our laboratory and present parameters that may be used to put the degree of convergence of each synthesis on quantitative footing. We begin with our syntheses of the antiproliferative, antimicrobial bacterial metabolite (-)-kinamycin F (1) and related dimeric structure (-)-lomaiviticin aglycon (2). These synthetic routes featured a three-step sequence to construct a complex diazocyclopentadiene found in both targets and an oxidative dimerization to unite the two halves of (-)-lomaiviticin aglycon (2). We then follow with our synthesis of the antineurodegenerative alkaloid (-)-huperzine A (3). Our route to (-)-huperzine A (3) employed a diastereoselective three-component coupling reaction, followed by the intramolecular α-arylation of a β-ketonitrile intermediate, to form the carbon skeleton of the target. We then present our syntheses of the hasubanan alkaloids (-)-hasubanonine (4), (-)-delavayine (5), (-)-runanine (6), (+)-periglaucine B (7), and (-)-acutumine (8). These alkaloids bear a 7-azatricyclo[4.3.3.01,6]dodecane (propellane) core and a highly oxidized cyclohexenone ring. The propellane structure was assembled by the addition of an aryl acetylide to a complex iminium ion, followed by intramolecular 1,4-addition. We then present our synthesis of the guanidinium alkaloid (+)-batzelladine B (9), which contains two complex polycyclic guanidine residues united by an ester linkage. This target was logically disconnected by an esterification to allow for the independent synthesis of each guanidine residue. A carefully orchestrated cascade reaction provided (+)-batzelladine B (9) in a single step following fragment coupling by esterification. We then discuss our synthesis of the diterpene fungal metabolite (+)-pleuromutilin (10). The synthesis of (+)-pleuromutilin (10) proceeded via a fragment coupling involving two neopentylic reagents and employed a nickel-catalyzed reductive cyclization reaction to close the eight-membered ring, ultimately providing access to (+)-pleuromutilin (10), (+)-12-epi-pleuromutilin (11), and (+)-12-epi-mutilin (12). Finally, we discuss our synthesis of (-)-myrocin G (13), a tricyclic pimarane diterpene that was assembled by a convergent annulation.In the final section of this Account, we present several paramaters to analyze and quantitatively assess the degree of convergence of each synthesis. These parameters include: (1) the number of steps required following the point of convergence, (2) the difference in the number of steps required to prepare each coupling partner, (3) the percentage of carbons (or, more broadly, atoms) present at the point of convergence, and (4) the complexity generated in the fragment coupling step. While not an exhaustive list, these parameters bring the strengths and weaknesses each synthetic strategy to light, emphasizing the key contributors to the degree of convergence of each route while also highlighting the nuances of these analyses.

Abstract
Ascidian-derived microorganisms are a significant source of pharmacologically active metabolites with interesting structural properties. When discovering bioactive molecules from ascidian-derived fungi, two new phenols, roussoelins A (1) and B (2), and ten known polyketides (3-12) were isolated from the ascidian-derived fungus Roussoella siamensis SYSU-MS4723. The planar structure of compounds 1 and 2 was established by analysis of HR-ESIMS and NMR data. The conformational analysis of the new compounds was assigned according to coupling constants and selective gradient NOESY experiments, and absolute configurations were completed by the modified Mosher's method. Among the isolated compounds, 1, 2, and 9 showed moderate antioxidant capacity. Graphical abstract

Abstract
(-)-Lomaiviticin A (1) is a genotoxic C2-symmetric metabolite that arises from the formal dimerization of two bis(glycosylated) diazotetrahydrobenzo[b]fluorenes. Here we present a synthesis of the monomer 17 and its coupling to form (2S,2'S)-lomaiviticin A (4), an unnatural diastereomer of 1. (2S,2'S)-Lomaiviticin A (4) is significantly less genotoxic, a result we attribute to changes in the orientation of the diazofluorene and carbohydrate residues, relative to 1. These data bring the importance of the configuration of the conjoining bond to light and place the total synthesis of 1 itself within reach.

Abstract
Covering: up to August 2020The dramatic increase in the identification of dimeric natural products generated by microorganisms and plants has played a significant role in drug discovery. The biosynthetic pathways of these products feature inherent dimerization reactions, which are valuable for biosynthetic applications and chemical transformations. The extraordinary mechanisms of the dimerization of secondary metabolites should advance our understanding of the uncommon chemical rules for natural product biosynthesis, which will, in turn, accelerate the discovery of dimeric reactions and molecules in nature and provide promising strategies for the total synthesis of natural products through dimerization. This review focuses on the enzymes involved in the dimerization in the biosynthetic pathway of microbial natural products, with an emphasis on cytochrome P450s, laccases, and intermolecular [4 + 2] cyclases, along with other atypical enzymes. The identification, characterization, and catalytic landscapes of these enzymes are also introduced.

Abstract
Actinomycetes are an important source for bioactive secondary metabolites. Among them, the genus Salinispora is one of the first salt obligatory marine species worldwide and is typically found in various types of substrates in tropical and subtropical marine environments including sediments and marine organisms. This genus produces a wide range of chemical scaffolds and bioactive compounds such as lomaiviticins, cyclomarins, rifamycins, salinaphthoquinones, and salinosporamides. This review arranged Salinispora derived secondary metabolites according to the three species that comprise the genus. Moreover, muta- and semi-synthesis analogs derived from salinosporamide were also described in this review.

Abstract
Angucyclinces belong to the class of aromatic polyketides and display a wide variety of structure diversity and pharmaceutical significance. Herein we report the isolation, structure elucidation, and bioactivity evaluation of structure-diversified angucyclinone derivatives and anthracene from the South China Sea-derived Micromonospora echinospora SCSIO 04089, including a thioether, gephysulfuromycin (1), two new benzo[b]phenanthridines, homophenanthroviridone (2) and homophenanthridonamide (3), a new benzo[b]fluorene, homostealthin D (4), a new naphtho[2,3-b]benzofuran, nenesfuran (5), a new naphthoquinone, WS-5995 D (6) and a new anthracene, nenesophanol (7), together with three known compounds (8-10). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses. The structures of 1-3 and 5-8 were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Gephysulfuromycin (1) featured a rare single S-bridged 3,12a-epithiotetraphene skeleton. Homophenanthroviridone (2) was found to be cytotoxic to SF-268, MCF-7, and HepG2 cell lines with IC50 values of 5.4 ± 0.4, 6.8 ± 0.3, and 1.4 ± 0.1 μM, respectively. Compound 2 was also active against Gram-positive bacteria with MIC (minimal inhibition concentration) values ranging 2-4 μg mL-1.

Abstract
Among the sub-phylum of Tunicate, ascidians represent the most abundant class of marine invertebrates, with 3000 species by heterogeneous habitat, that is, from shallow water to deep sea, already reported. The chemistry of these sessile filter-feeding organisms is an attractive reservoir of varied and peculiar bioactive compounds. Most secondary metabolites isolated from ascidians stand out for their potential as putative therapeutic agents in the treatment of several illnesses like microbial infections. In this review, we present and discuss the antibacterial activity shown by the main groups of ascidian-derived products, such as sulfur-containing compounds, meroterpenes, alkaloids, peptides, furanones, and their derivatives. Moreover, the direct evidence of a symbiotic association between marine ascidians and microorganisms shed light on the real producers of many extremely potent marine natural compounds. Hence, we also report the antibacterial potential, joined to antifungal and antiviral activity, of metabolites isolated from ascidian-associate microorganisms by culture-dependent methods.

Abstract
Microbial natural product discovery programs face two main challenges today: rapidly prioritizing strains for discovering new molecules and avoiding the rediscovery of already known molecules. Typically, these problems have been tackled using biological assays to identify promising strains and techniques that model variance in a dataset such as PCA to highlight novel chemistry. While these tools have shown successful outcomes in the past, datasets are becoming much larger and require a new approach. Since PCA models are dependent on the members of the group being modeled, large datasets with many members make it difficult to accurately model the variance in the data. Our tool, hcapca, first groups strains based on the similarity of their chemical composition, and then applies PCA to the smaller sub-groups yielding more robust PCA models. This allows for scalable chemical comparisons among hundreds of strains with thousands of molecular features. As a proof of concept, we applied our open-source tool to a dataset with 1046 LCMS profiles of marine invertebrate associated bacteria and discovered three new analogs of an established anticancer agent from one promising strain.

Abstract
(-)-Lomaiviticin A is a complex C 2-symmetric bacterial metabolite comprising two diazotetrahydrobenzo[b]fluorene (diazofluorene) residues and four 2,6-dideoxy glycosides, α-l-oleandrose and N,N-dimethyl-β-l-pyrrolosamine. The two halves of lomaiviticin A are linked by a single carbon-carbon bond oriented syn with respect to the oleandrose residues. While many advances toward the synthesis of lomaiviticin A have been reported, including synthesis of the aglycon, a route to the bis(cyclohexenone) core bearing any of the carbohydrate residues has not been disclosed. Here we describe a short route to a core structure of lomaiviticin A bearing two α-l-oleandrose residues. The synthetic route features a Stille coupling to form the conjoining carbon-carbon bond of the target and a double reductive transposition to establish the correct stereochemistry at this bond. Two synthetic routes were developed to elaborate the reductive transposition product to the bis(cyclohexenone) target. The more efficient pathway features an interrupted Barton vinyl iodide synthesis followed by oxidative elimination of iodide to efficiently establish the enone functionalities in the target. The bis(cyclohexenone) product may find use in a synthesis of lomaiviticin A itself.

Abstract
Fluostatins, benzofluorene-containing aromatic polyketides in the atypical angucycline family, conjugate into dimeric and even trimeric compounds in the post-biosynthesis. The formation of the C-C bond involves a non-enzymatic stereospecific coupling reaction. In this work, the unusual regio- and enantioselectivities were rationalized by density functional theory calculations with the M06-2X (SMD, water)/6-311 + G(d,p)//6-31G(d) method. These DFT calculations reproduce the lowest energy C1-(R)-C10'-(S) coupling pathway observed in a nonenzymatic reaction. Bonding of the reactive carbon atoms (C1 and C10') of the two reactant molecules maximizes the HOMO-LUMO interactions and Fukui function involving the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of nucleophile p-QM and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of electrophile FST2- anion. In particular, the significant π-π stacking interactions of the low-energy pre-reaction state are retained in the lowest energy pathway for C-C coupling. The distortion/interaction-activation strain analysis indicates that the transition state (TScp-I) of the lowest energy pathway involves the highest stabilizing interactions and small distortion among all possible C-C coupling reactions. One of the two chiral centers generated in this step is lost upon aromatization of the phenol ring in the final difluostatin products. Thus, the π-π stacking interactions between the fluostatin 6-5-6 aromatic ring system play a critical role in the stereoselectivity of the nonenzymatic fluostatin conjugation.

Abstract
Reinvestigation of mycothiazole (1) revealed picomolar potency (IC50 = 0.00016, 0.00027, 0.00035 μM) against pancreatic, (PANC-1), liver (HepG2), and colon (HCT-116) tumor cell lines. Reevaluation of 1 provided [α]D data indicating Vanuatu specimens of C. mycofijiensis contain the 8S enantiomer of 1 and not the 8R configuration previously reported. Semisynthesis provided 8-O-acetylmycothiazole (2), 8-oxomycothiazole (8), mycothiazole nitrosobenzene derivatives (MND1, MND2: 9a, 9b), and MND3 (10) with IC50 = 0.00129, >1.0, >1.0, >1.0, >1.0 μM, respectively, against PANC-1 cell lines. These results highlight the significance of the penta-2,4-dien-1-ol residue as a key structural feature of 1 required for its cytotoxicty against tumor cell lines.

Abstract
Previously unreported N,N′-ketal quinazolinone enantiomers [(−)-1 and (+)-1] and a new biogenetically related compound (2), along with six known compounds, 2-pyrovoylaminobenzamide (3), N-(2-hydroxypropanoyl)-2 amino benzoic acid amide (4), pseurotin A (5), niacinamide (6), citreohybridonol (7), citreohybridone C (8) were isolated from the ascidian-derived fungus Penicillium sp. 4829 in wheat solid-substrate medium culture. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic analyses (1D and 2D NMR and Electron Circular Dichroism data) and X-ray crystallography. The enantiomeric pair of 1 is the first example of naturally occurring N,N′-ketal quinazolinone possessing a unique tetracyclic system having 4-quinazolinone fused with tetrahydroisoquinoline moiety. The enantiomeric mixtures of 1 displayed an inhibitory effect on NO production in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW264.7 cells, while the optically pure (–)-1 showed better inhibitory effect than (+)-1.

Abstract
Four angucycline glycosides were previously characterized from marine-derived Streptomyces sp. OC1610.4. Further investigation of this strain cultured on different fermentation media from that used previously resulted in the isolation of two new angucycline glycosides, vineomycins E and F (1–2), and five known homologues, grincamycin L (3), vineomycinone B2 (4), fridamycin D (5), moromycin B (7), and saquayamycin B1 (8). Vineomycin F (2) contains an unusual ring-cleavage deoxy sugar. All the angucycline glycosides isolated from Streptomyces sp. OC1610.4 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against breast cancer cells MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and BT-474. Moromycin B (7), saquayamycin B1 (8), and saquayamycin B (9) displayed potent anti-proliferation against the tested cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.16 to 0.67 μM. Saquayamycin B (9) inhibited the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner, as detected by Transwell and wound-healing assays.

Abstract
Angucyclines are one of the largest families of aromatic polyketides with various chemical structures and bioactivities. Decades of studies have made it easy for us to depict the picture of their early biosynthetic pathways. Two families of oxygenases, the FAD-dependent oxygenases and the ring opening oxygenases, contribute to the formation of some unique skeletons of atypical angucyclines. The FAD-dependent oxygenases involved in the biosynthetic gene clusters of typical angucyclines catalyze two hydroxylation reactions at C-12 and C-12b of prejadomycin, while their homolog JadH in jadomycin gene cluster catalyze the C-12 hydroxylation and 4a,12b-dehydration reactions of prejadomycin, which leads to the production of dehydrorabelomycin, a common intermediate during the biosynthesis of atypical angucyclines. Ring opening oxygenases of a unique family of oxygenases catalyze the oxidative C—C bond cleavage reaction of dehydrorabelomycin, followed by different rearrangement reactions, resulting in the formation of the various chemical skeletons of atypical angucyclines. These results suggested that the functional differentiation of these oxygenases could apparently enrich the sources of aromatic polyketides with greater structure diversities.

Abstract
Ascidians are a class of sessile filter-feeding invertebrates, that provide unique and fertile niches harboring various microorganisms, such as bacteria, actinobacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi. Over 1000 natural products, including alkaloids, cyclic peptides, and polyketides, have been isolated from them, which display diverse properties, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. Strikingly, direct evidence has confirmed that ~8% of natural products from ascidians are actually produced by symbiotic microorganisms. In this review, we present 150 natural products from microorganisms associated with ascidians that have been reported up to 2017.

Abstract
Macrolactams comprise a family of natural compounds with important bioactivities, such as antibiotic, antifungal, and antiproliferative activities. Sipanmycins A and B are two novel members of this family, with two sugar moieties attached to the aglycon. In the related macrolactam vicenistatin, the sugar moiety has been proven to be essential for cytotoxicity. In this work, the gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of sipanmycins (sip cluster) in Streptomyces sp. strain CS149 is described and the steps involved in the glycosylation of the final compounds unraveled. Also, the cooperation of two different glycosyltransferases in each glycosylation step is demonstrated. Additionally, the essential role of SipO2 as an auxiliary protein in the incorporation of the second deoxy sugar is addressed. In light of the results obtained by the generation of mutant strains and in silico characterization of the sip cluster, a biosynthetic pathway for sipanmycins and the two deoxy sugars attached is proposed. Finally, the importance of the hydroxyl group at C-10 of the macrolactam ring and the sugar moieties for cytotoxicity and antibiotic activity of sipanmycins is shown.IMPORTANCE The rapid emergence of infectious diseases and multiresistant pathogens has increased the necessity for new bioactive compounds; thus, novel strategies have to be developed to find them. Actinomycetes isolated in symbiosis with insects have attracted attention in recent years as producers of metabolites with important bioactivities. Sipanmycins are glycosylated macrolactams produced by Streptomyces sp. CS149, isolated from leaf-cutting ants, and show potent cytotoxic activity. Here, we characterize the sip cluster and propose a biosynthetic pathway for sipanmycins. As far as we know, it is the first time that the cooperation between two different glycosyltransferases is demonstrated to be strictly necessary for the incorporation of the same sugar. Also, a third protein with homology to P450 monooxygenases, SipO2, is shown to be essential in the second glycosylation step, forming a complex with the glycosyltransferase pair SipS9-SipS14.

Abstract
We report a crystalline compound 2-azido-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (ADT) as an intrinsically safe, highly efficient, and shelf-stable diazo-transfer reagent. Because the decomposition of ADT is an endothermal process (Δ H = 30.3 kJ mol-1), ADT is intrinsically nonexplosive, as proved by thermal, friction, and impact tests. The diazo-transfer reaction based on ADT gives diazo compounds in excellent yields within several minutes at room temperature. ADT is very stable upon >1 year storage under air at room temperature.

Abstract
The molecular architectures and potent bioactivities of diazo-containing natural products have attracted the interest of synthetic and biological chemists. Despite this attention, the biosynthetic enzymes involved in diazo group construction have not been identified. Here, we show that the ATP-dependent enzyme CreM installs the diazo group in cremeomycin via late-stage N-N bond formation using nitrite. This finding should inspire efforts to use diazo-forming enzymes in biocatalysis and synthetic biology as well as enable genome-based discovery of new diazo-containing metabolites.
