Abstract
The irradiation of β-enaminones, generated in situ from cyclic 1,3-diketones and activated alkenes leads to polyheterocyclic skeletons. The photoproduct chemoselectivity depends on the type of cyclic 1,3-diketones employed viz., 2-acetylcyclopentanone and 2-acetylcyclohexanone. The observed chemoselectivity was rationalized based on the Dieckmann-Kon rule.

Abstract
Natural products have been important in the discovery of new drugs, but their use is limited due to issues with accessibility and synthesis. Tetrahydronaphthoquinoline-dione (THNQ-dione) is a key structural feature found in several natural and synthetic compounds that exhibit notable biological properties. The unique properties of THNQ-diones can be attributed to the fusion of tetrahydroquinoline and anthraquinone moieties. These alkaloids are synthesised through various biosynthetic pathways, leading to diverse structures and bioactivities. Despite their significance, THNQ-diones have not been extensively covered in the review literature, highlighting the importance of this article in discussing their natural occurrence and biological activities. This article explores the distribution of THNQ-dione alkaloids in different organisms and their potential as a source of novel bioactive natural products.

Abstract
Here we describe the isolation and characterization of stictamycin, a new aromatic polyketide with activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Stictamycin was identified following metabolic profiling and bioactivity guided fractionation of organic extracts from Streptomyces sp. 438-3, an isolate from the New Zealand lichen Sticta felix. Comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR analyses were performed to determine the planar structure of stictamycin and relative configurations of stereo centers, with subsequent comparison of experimental and theoretical ECD spectra allowing elucidation of the absolute configuration. Whole-genome sequencing and biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) analysis revealed that the Streptomyces sp. 438-3 strain contains an atypical type II polyketide (T2PKS) BGC capable of assembling polycyclic-aromatic ring skeletons. Cloning and knockout studies of this T2PKS BGC were used to confirm that it is responsible for the biosynthesis of stictamycin and elucidate a plausible biosynthetic scheme.

Abstract
Breast cancer, one of the most significant tumors among all cancer cells, still has deficiencies for effective treatment. Moreover, substitute treatments employing natural products as bioactive metabolites has been seriously considered. The source of bioactive metabolites are not only the most numerous but also represent the richest source. A unique source is from the oceans or marine species which demonstrated intriguing chemical and biological diversity which represents an astonishing reserve for discovering novel anticancer drugs. Notably, marine sponges produce the largest amount of diverse bioactive peptides, alkaloids, terpenoids, polyketides along with many secondary metabolites whose potential is mostly therapeutic. In this review, our main focus is on the marine derived secondary metabolites which demonstrated cytotoxic effects towards numerous breast cancer cells and have been isolated from the marine sources such as marine sponges, cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, tunicates, actinomycetes, ascidians, and other sources of marine organisms.

Abstract
The first example of Pd(II)-catalyzed anomeric arylation of 3-aminosugars is reported by using an L,X-type transient directing group (TDG) approach combined with an external 2-pyridone ligand. The released free amine was in situ transformed into an azide function, which was then exploited in a CuAAC to increase the molecular complexity and prepare a variety of complex substituted C3-triazolo C-glycosides in good yields.

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
Background The marine environment hosts a wide variety of species that have evolved to live in harsh and challenging conditions. Marine organisms are the focus of interest due to their capacity to produce biotechnologically useful compounds. They are promising biocatalysts for new and sustainable industrial processes because of their resistance to temperature, pH, salt, and contaminants, representing an opportunity for several biotechnological applications. Encouraged by the extensive and richness of the marine environment, marine organisms’ role in developing new therapeutic benefits is heading as an arable field. Main body of the abstract There is currently much interest in biologically active compounds derived from natural resources, especially compounds that can efficiently act on molecular targets, which are involved in various diseases. Studies are focused on bacteria and fungi, isolated from sediments, seawater, fish, algae, and most marine invertebrates such as sponges, mollusks, tunicates, coelenterates, and crustaceans. In addition to marine macro-organisms, such as sponges, algae, or corals, marine bacteria and fungi have been shown to produce novel secondary metabolites (SMs) with specific and intricate chemical structures that may hold the key to the production of novel drugs or leads. The marine environment is known as a rich source of chemical structures with numerous beneficial health effects. Presently, several lines of studies have provided insight into biological activities and neuroprotective effects of marine algae, including antioxidant, anti-neuroinflammatory, cholinesterase inhibitory activity, and neuronal death inhibition. Conclusion The application of marine-derived bioactive compounds has gained importance because of their therapeutic uses in several diseases. Marine natural products (MNPs) display various pharmaceutically significant bioactivities, including antibiotic, antiviral, neurodegenerative, anticancer, or anti-inflammatory properties. The present review focuses on the importance of critical marine bioactive compounds and their role in different diseases and highlights their possible contribution to humanity.

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.

Abstract
Covering period: up to 2019Water-soluble natural products constitute a relevant group of secondary metabolites notably known for presenting potent biological activities. Examples are aminoglycosides, β-lactam antibiotics, saponins of both terrestrial and marine origin, and marine toxins. Although extensively investigated in the past, particularly during the golden age of antibiotics, hydrophilic fractions have been less scrutinized during the last few decades. This review addresses the possible reasons on why water-soluble metabolites are now under investigated and describes approaches and strategies for the isolation of these natural compounds. It presents examples of several classes of hydrosoluble natural products and how they have been isolated. Novel stationary phases and chromatography techniques are also reviewed, providing a perspective towards a renaissance in the investigation of water-soluble natural products.

Abstract
Two angucyclines, pseudonocardones D (1) and E (2), were isolated from Streptomyces sp. KCB15JA151. The planar structure was elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configuration of the sugar unit was determined based on the basis of coupling constants, ROESY, chemical derivatization and HPLC analysis. The biological activities of compounds 1 and 2 were examined by performing a computational target prediction, which led to tests of the antiestrogenic activity. The result suggested that compound 1 might be an ERα antagonist.

[PMID: 34068184 PMCID: PMC8152984 DOI: 10.3390/md19050272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Revised: 05/09/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The marine ecosystem, populated by a myriad of animals, plants, and microorganisms, is an inexhaustible reservoir of pharmacologically active molecules. Among the multiple secondary metabolites produced by marine sources, there are anthraquinones and their derivatives. Besides being mainly known to be produced by terrestrial species, even marine organisms and the uncountable kingdom of marine microorganisms biosynthesize anthraquinones. Anthraquinones possess many different biological activities, including a remarkable antitumor activity. However, due to their peculiar chemical structures, anthraquinones are often associated with toxicological issues, even relevant, such as genotoxicity and mutagenicity. The aim of this review is to critically describe the anticancer potential of anthraquinones derived from marine sources and their genotoxic and mutagenic potential. Marine-derived anthraquinones show a promising anticancer potential, although clinical studies are missing. Additionally, an in-depth investigation of their toxicological profile is needed before advocating anthraquinones as a therapeutic armamentarium in the oncological area.

Abstract
Blood vessel sprouting from pre-existing vessels or angiogenesis plays a significant role in tumour progression. Development of novel biomolecules from marine natural sources has a promising role in drug discovery specifically in the area of antiangiogenic chemotherapeutics. Symbiotic actinomycetes from marine origin proved to be potent and valuable sources of antiangiogenic compounds. Zebrafish represent a well-established model for small molecular screening and employed to study tumour angiogenesis over the last decade. Use of zebrafish has increased in the laboratory due to its various advantages like rapid embryo development, optically transparent embryos, large clutch size of embryos and most importantly high genetic conservation comparable to humans. Zebrafish also shares similar physiopathology of tumour angiogenesis with humans and with these advantages, zebrafish has become a popular model in the past decade to study on angiogenesis related disorders like diabetic retinopathy and cancer. This review focuses on the importance of antiangiogenic compounds from marine actinomycetes and utility of zebrafish in cancer angiogenesis research.

Abstract
Six new angucycline derivatives, named monacycliones G-K (1-5) and ent-gephyromycin A (6), as well as three known ones (7-9) were discovered from the marine sediment-derived actinomycete Streptomyces sp. HDN15129 guided by Global Natural Products Social (GNPS) molecular networking. Structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by extensive NMR, MS, and ECD analyses. Among them, monacyclione G (1) possesses a unique scaffold featuring a xanthone core linked to the aminodeoxysugar ossamine, and monacycliones H-J (2-4) are rare examples of natural angucyclines with an S-methyl group. Monacycliones I and J (3 and 4) showed cytotoxic activity against multiple human cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 3.5 to 10 μM.

Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of deaths worldwide, though significant advances have occurred in its diagnosis and treatment. The development of resistance against chemotherapeutic agents, their side effects, and non-specific toxicity urge to screen for the novel anticancer agent. Hence, the development of novel anticancer agents with a new mechanism of action has become a major scientific challenge. Bacteria and bacterially produced bioactive compounds have recently emerged as a promising alternative for cancer therapeutics. Bacterial anticancer agents such as antibiotics, bacteriocins, non-ribosomal peptides, polyketides, toxins, etc. These are adopted different mechanisms of actions such as apoptosis, necrosis, reduced angiogenesis, inhibition of translation and splicing, and obstructing essential signaling pathways to kill cancer cells. Also, live tumor-targeting bacteria provided a unique therapeutic alternative for cancer treatment. This review summarizes the anticancer properties and mechanism of actions of the anticancer agents of bacterial origin and antitumor bacteria along with their possible future applications in cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a life-threatening disease resulting in an estimated 10 million new infections and 1.8 million deaths annually, primarily in underdeveloped countries. The economic burden of TB has been estimated as approximately 12 billion USD annually in direct and indirect costs. Additionally, multi-drug-resistant (MDR) and extreme-drug-resistant (XTR) TB strains resulting in about 250 000 deaths annually are now widespread, increasing pressure on the identification of new anti-TB agents that operate by a novel mechanism of action. Chrysomycin A is a rare C-aryl glycoside first discovered over 60 years ago. In a recent high-throughput screen, we found that chrysomycin A has potent anti-TB activity, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 0.4 μg/mL against MDR-TB strains. However, chrysomycin A is obtained in low yields from fermentation of Streptomyces, and the mechanism of action of this compound is unknown. To facilitate the mechanism of action and preclinical studies of chrysomycin A, we developed a 10-step, scalable synthesis of the isolate and its two natural congeners polycarcin V and gilvocarcin V. The synthetic sequence was enabled by the implementation of two sequential C-H functionalization steps as well as a late-stage C-glycosylation. In addition, >10 g of the advanced synthetic intermediate has been prepared, which greatly facilitated the synthesis of 33 new analogues to date. The structure-activity relationship was subsequently delineated, leading to the identification of derivatives with superior potency against MDR-TB (MIC = 0.08 μg/mL). The more potent derivatives contained a modified carbohydrate residue which suggests that further optimization is additionally possible. The chemistry we report here establishes a platform for the development of a novel class of anti-TB agents active against drug-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
Deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basins (DHABs) are considered to be among the most extreme ecosystems on our planet, allowing only the life of polyextremophilic organisms. DHABs’ prokaryotes exhibit extraordinary metabolic capabilities, representing a hot topic for microbiologists and biotechnologists. These are a source of enzymes and new secondary metabolites with valuable applications in different biotechnological fields. Here, we review the current knowledge on prokaryotic diversity in DHABs, highlighting the biotechnological applications of identified taxa and isolated species. The discovery of new species and molecules from these ecosystems is expanding our understanding of life limits and is expected to have a strong impact on biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Integrating MS-based metabolomics approaches, LC-MS-PCA and molecular networking enabled the targeted isolation of five new pyrrole-derived alkaloids, phallusialides A-E (1-5), from a marine-derived Micromonospora sp. bacterium. The structures of 1-5 were elucidated by analysis of their HRMS, MS/MS, and NMR spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of phallusialide A (1) was determined on the basis of comparisons of experimental and theoretically calculated ECD spectra. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited antibacterial activity against methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and E. coli, with MIC values of 32 and 64 μg/mL, respectively, whereas 3-5 showed no antibacterial activity even at 256 μg/mL, yielding important SAR insights for this class of compounds.

Abstract
Natural halogenated compounds (halometabolites) are produced mainly by marine organisms, including marine Actinobacteria. Many commercially important compounds for pharmaceuticals contain halogen, and the halogen is responsible for the physical and chemical properties as well as bioactivities and toxicities. In the exploration of marine environment that is supported by advanced structure elucidation, varied panel bioassays and high-throughput screening have accelerated number of halometabolites isolated from marine Actinobacteria to date. The metabolites exhibited unique structures and promising bioactivities. This review focuses on the chemodiversity and bioactivities of marine halometabolites from marine Actinobacteria reported in the last 15 years (2003-2018).

Abstract
The quest for novel natural products has recently focused on the marine environment as a source for novel microorganisms. Although isolation of marine-derived actinomycete strains is now common, understanding their distribution in the oceans and their adaptation to this environment can be helpful in the selection of isolates for further novel secondary metabolite discovery. This study explores the taxonomic diversity of marine-derived actinomycetes from distinct environments in the coastal areas of the Yucatan Peninsula and their adaptation to the marine environment as a first step towards novel natural product discovery. The use of simple ecological principles, for example, phylogenetic relatedness to previously characterized actinomycetes or seawater requirements for growth, to recognize isolates with adaptations to the ocean in an effort to select for marine-derived actinomycete to be used for further chemical studies. Marine microbial environments are an important source of novel bioactive natural products and, together with methods such as genome mining for detection of strains with biotechnological potential, ecological strategies can bring useful insights in the selection and identification of marine-derived actinomycetes for novel natural product discovery.

Allocyclinones, hyperchlorinated angucyclinones from Actinoallomurus. J Antibiot (Tokyo) 2016; 70:73-78. [PMID: 27220409 DOI: 10.1038/ja.2016.62] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2016] [Revised: 04/14/2016] [Accepted: 04/26/2016] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
A screening program on a limited number of strains belonging to the Actinoallomurus genus yielded a series of new angucyclinones. NMR and MS analyses established that these compounds are characterized by an unusual lactone ring and present up to four halogens per molecule, with one congener representing the first natural product containing a trichloromethyl substitution on an aromatic system. Remarkably, this family of metabolites seems to be produced by phylogenetically distinct Actinoallomurus isolates. Because of the unique structural features and wide distribution among Actinoallomurus, we have designated these angucyclinones as allocyclinones. Allocyclinones possess interesting activity against different Gram-positive bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains, with antibacterial potency increasing with the number of chlorine substituents. The tetrachlorinated compound is the most abundant congener in the allocyclinone complex.

Abstract
Glycosyltransferase 1 from Bacillus cereus (BcGT1) catalyzes the transfer of a glucosyl moiety from uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) to various acceptors; it was expressed and characterized. The specificity of acceptors was found to be broad: more than 20 compounds classified into O-, S-, and N-linkage glucosides can be prepared with BcGT1 catalysis. Based on this work, we conclude that the corresponding acceptors of these compounds must possess the following features: (1) the acceptors must contain at least one aromatic or fused-aromatic or heteroaromatic ring; (2) the reactive hydroxyl or sulfhydryl or amino group can attach either on the aromatic ring or on its aliphatic side chain; and (3) the acceptors can be a primary, secondary, or even a tertiary amine. Four representative acceptors-fluorescein methyl ester, 17-β-estradiol, 7-mercapto-4-methylcoumarin, and 6-benzylaminopurine-were chosen as a candidate acceptor for O-, S-, and N-glucosidation, respectively. These enzymatic products were purified and the structures were confirmed with mass and NMR spectra. As all isolated glucosides are β-anomers, BcGT1 is confirmed to be an inverting enzyme. This study not only demonstrates the substrate promiscuity of BcGT1 but also showed the great application prospect of this enzyme in bioconversion of valuable bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin are used extensively in the treatment of cancers. Anthraquinone-related angucyclines also exhibit antiproliferative properties and have been proposed to operate via similar mechanisms, including direct genome targeting. Here, we report the chemical synthesis of marmycin A and the study of its cellular activity. The aromatic core was constructed by means of a one-pot multistep reaction comprising a regioselective Diels-Alder cycloaddition, and the complex sugar backbone was introduced through a copper-catalysed Ullmann cross-coupling, followed by a challenging Friedel-Crafts cyclization. Remarkably, fluorescence microscopy revealed that marmycin A does not target the nucleus but instead accumulates in lysosomes, thereby promoting cell death independently of genome targeting. Furthermore, a synthetic dimer of marmycin A and the lysosome-targeting agent artesunate exhibited a synergistic activity against the invasive MDA-MB-231 cancer cell line. These findings shed light on the elusive pathways through which anthraquinone derivatives act in cells, pointing towards unanticipated biological and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Actinobacteria are widely distributed in the marine environment. To date, few studies have been performed to explore the coral-associated Actinobacteria, and little is known about the diversity of coral-associated Actinobacteria. In this study, the actinobacterial diversity associated with one soft coral Alcyonium gracllimum and one stony coral Tubastraea coccinea collected from the East China Sea was investigated using both culture-independent and culture-dependent approaches. A total of 19 actinobacterial genera were detected in these two corals, among which nine genera (Corynebacterium, Dietzia, Gordonia, Kocuria, Microbacterium, Micrococcus, Mycobacterium, Streptomyces, and Candidatus Microthrix) were common, three genera (Cellulomonas, Dermatophilus, and Janibacter) were unique to the soft coral, and seven genera (Brevibacterium, Dermacoccus, Leucobacter, Micromonospora, Nocardioides, Rhodococcus, and Serinicoccus) were unique to the stony coral. This finding suggested that highly diverse Actinobacteria were associated with different types of corals. In particular, five actinobacterial genera (Cellulomonas, Dermacoccus, Gordonia, Serinicoccus, and Candidatus Microthrix) were recovered from corals for the first time, extending the known diversity of coral-associated Actinobacteria. This study shows that soft and stony corals host diverse Actinobacteria and can serve as a new source of marine actinomycetes.

Abstract
The criteria currently followed for selecting antitumor compounds include agents that can target apoptosis inhibitor proteins and cancer cell markers. In silico studies are often used to identify suitable antitumor compounds for the cancer targets. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the interactions of some antitumor compounds reported from marine Streptomyces with cancer target proteins. Nine compounds were selected from marine Streptomyces based on previous reports and evaluated for their interactions with cancer target proteins by in silico molecular docking approach. Interactions of the selected ligand with target proteins were studied by PatchDock bioinformatics docking tool. Among the compounds tested marmycin A was interacted very effectively with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and showed a least binding energy of -472.92 kcal/mol. The compound altemicidin showed a least binding energy of -415.66 kcal/mol with cyclin dependent kinase 4 (CDK4). The ligands resistoflavine and resistomycin also interacted with HER2 and showed the binding energy of -402.10 kcal/mol and -377.78 kcal/mol respectively. Other ligands proximycin A, chandrananimycin C, echinosporin, streptochlorin and streptokordin also showed the binding energy of -341.11 kcal/mol, -313.31 kcal/mol, -305.64 kcal/mol, -291.91 kcal/mol and 222.34 kcal/mol respectively with CDK4 protein. These results of our study suggest that HER2 and CDK4 are better cancer drug targets for therapy.

Abstract
Compared with the actinomycetes in stone corals, the phylogenetic diversity of soft coral-associated culturable actinomycetes is essentially unexplored. Meanwhile, the knowledge of the natural products from coral-associated actinomycetes is very limited. In this study, thirty-two strains were isolated from the tissue of the soft coral Scleronephthya sp. in the East China Sea, which were grouped into eight genera by 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis: Micromonospora, Gordonia, Mycobacterium, Nocardioides, Streptomyces, Cellulomonas, Dietzia and Rhodococcus. 6 Micromonospora strains and 4 Streptomyces strains were found to be with the potential for producing aromatic polyketides based on the analysis of KSα (ketoacyl-synthase) gene in the PKS II (type II polyketides synthase) gene cluster. Among the 6 Micromonospora strains, angucycline cyclase gene was amplified in 2 strains (A5-1 and A6-2), suggesting their potential in synthesizing angucyclines e.g. jadomycin. Under the guidance of functional gene prediction, one jadomycin B analogue (7b, 13-dihydro-7-O-methyl jadomycin B) was detected in the fermentation broth of Micromonospora sp. strain A5-1. This study highlights the phylogenetically diverse culturable actinomycetes associated with the tissue of soft coral Scleronephthya sp. and the potential of coral-derived actinomycetes especially Micromonospora in producing aromatic polyketides.

Abstract
Streptomyces sp. KY40-1, a strain isolated from the Kentucky Appalachian foothills, is the producer of moromycins A (18) and B (19). Further investigations of this strain led to the isolation and structure elucidation of the five new saquayamycins G-K (1-5), along with known compounds. Two of the new compounds bear the unusual aminosugar rednose, which was found here for the first time in angucyclines. The different attachment positions of this aminosugar in these two compounds indicate a high acceptor substrate flexibility of the responsible glycosyl transferase or alternatively the involvement of multiple glycosyl transferases. The cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds was determined using human prostate cancer (PC-3) and non-small-cell lung cancer (H460) cell lines. Cell viability assays showed that saquayamycins J (4), K (5), A (7), and B (8) were most active in PC3 cells, with saquayamycin B (8) showing the highest activity (GI(50) = 0.0075 μM). The aminosugar-containing saquayamycins H (2) and saquayamycin B (8) showed the highest activity against H460 cells, with a GI(50) of 3.3 and 3.9 μM, respectively. The results presented here provide more insights into the structure-activity relationship of saquayamycins with respect to the nature, number, and linkage of sugar residues.

Abstract
Once considered to be isolation artifacts or chemical "mistakes" of nature, the number of naturally occurring organohalogen compounds has grown from a dozen in 1954 to >5000 today. Of these, at least 25% are halogenated alkaloids. This is not surprising since nitrogen-containing pyrroles, indoles, carbolines, tryptamines, tyrosines, and tyramines are excellent platforms for biohalogenation, particularly in the marine environment where both chloride and bromide are plentiful for biooxidation and subsequent incorporation into these electron-rich substrates. This review presents the occurrence of all halogenated alkaloids, with the exception of marine bromotyrosines where coverage begins where it left off in volume 61 of The Alkaloids. Whereas the biological activity of these extraordinary compounds is briefly cited for some examples, a future volume of The Alkaloids will present full coverage of this topic and will also include selected syntheses of halogenated alkaloids. Natural organohalogens of all types, especially marine and terrestrial halogenated alkaloids, comprise a rapidly expanding class of natural products, in many cases expressing powerful biological activity. This enormous proliferation has several origins: (1) a revitalization of natural product research in a search for new drugs, (2) improved compound characterization methods (multidimensional NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry), (3) specific enzyme-based and other biological assays, (4) sophisticated collection methods (SCUBA and remote submersibles for deep ocean marine collections), (5) new separation and purification techniques (HPLC and countercurrent separation), (6) a greater appreciation of traditional folk medicine and ethobotany, and (7) marine bacteria and fungi as novel sources of natural products. Halogenated alkaloids are truly omnipresent in the environment. Indeed, one compound, Q1 (234), is ubiquitous in the marine food web and is found in the Inuit from their diet of whale blubber. Given the fact that of the 500,000 estimated marine organisms--which are the source of most halogenated alkaloids--only a small percentage have been investigated for their chemical content, it is certain that myriad new halogenated alkaloids are awaiting discovery. For example, it is estimated that nearly 4000 species of bryozoans have not been examined for their chemical content. The few species that have been studied contain some extraordinary halogenated alkaloids, such as hinckdentine A (610) and the chartellines (611-613). Of the estimated 1.5 million species of fungi, secondary metabolites have been characterized from only 5000 species. The future seems bright for the collector of halogenated alkaloids!

Abstract
Covering: 1997 to 2010. The angucycline group is the largest group of type II PKS-engineered natural products, rich in biological activities and chemical scaffolds. This stimulated synthetic creativity and biosynthetic inquisitiveness. The synthetic studies used five different strategies, involving Diels-Alder reactions, nucleophilic additions, electrophilic additions, transition-metal mediated cross-couplings and intramolecular cyclizations to generate the angucycline frames. Biosynthetic studies were particularly intriguing when unusual framework rearrangements by post-PKS tailoring oxidoreductases occurred, or when unusual glycosylation reactions were involved in decorating the benz[a]anthracene-derived cores. This review follows our previous reviews, which were published in 1992 and 1997, and covers new angucycline group antibiotics published between 1997 and 2010. However, in contrast to the previous reviews, the main focus of this article is on new synthetic approaches and biosynthetic investigations, most of which were published between 1997 and 2010, but go beyond, e.g. for some biosyntheses all the way back to the 1980s, to provide the necessary context of information.

Abstract
A new benz[a]anthracene derivative called mayamycin (1) was identified in cultures of Streptomyces sp. strain HB202, which was isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria panicea and selected because of its profound antibiotic activity. The ability to produce aromatic polyketides was indicated by genetic analyses, demonstrating the presence of a type II polyketide synthase. The production of mayamycin (1) was induced by variation of the culture conditions. The structure of 1 was elucidated by HPLC-UV/MS and NMR spectroscopy. Mayamycin (1) exhibited potent cytotoxic activity against eight human cancer cell lines and showed activity against several bacteria including antibiotic-resistant strains.

Abstract
An efficient four-step route to the tetracyclic aminoquinone moiety of marmycin A that proceeds in 41% overall yield from 5-nitronaphthoquinone and 5-methyl-1-vinylcyclohexene will facilitate preparation of marmycin A analogues for biological evaluation. The Diels-Alder reaction gave exclusively the desired adduct that is favored by steric considerations rather than the regioisomeric adduct that is favored by electronic considerations.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments used to combat cancer. A great number of antitumor compounds are natural products or their derivatives, mainly produced by microorganisms. In particular, actinomycetes are the producers of a large number of natural products with different biological activities, including antitumor properties. These antitumor compounds belong to several structural classes such as anthracyclines, enediynes, indolocarbazoles, isoprenoides, macrolides, non-ribosomal peptides and others, and they exert antitumor activity by inducing apoptosis through DNA cleavage mediated by topoisomerase I or II inhibition, mitochondria permeabilization, inhibition of key enzymes involved in signal transduction like proteases, or cellular metabolism and in some cases by inhibiting tumor-induced angiogenesis. Marine organisms have attracted special attention in the last years for their ability to produce interesting pharmacological lead compounds.

Abstract
Two new cyclodepsipeptides designated bacillistatins 1 (1) and 2 (2) have been isolated from cultures of a sample of Bacillus silvestris that was obtained from a Pacific Ocean (southern Chile) crab. Each 12-unit cyclodepsipeptide strongly inhibited growth of a human cancer cell line panel, with GI(50)'s of 10(-4)-10(-5) microg/mL, and each compound was active against antibiotic-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. The structures were elucidated by a combination of X-ray diffraction and mass and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses, together with chemical degradation.

Abstract
Two new anticancer antibiotics of the angucycline class, moromycins A and B (1, 2), along with the known microbial metabolites saquayamycin B (3) and fridamycin D (4) were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of a culture broth of the terrestrial Streptomyces sp. KY002. The structures consist of a tetrangomycin core and various C- and O-glycosidically linked deoxysugars. The chemical structures of the new secondary metabolites were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and by mass spectrometry. Moromycin B (2) showed significant cytotoxicity against H-460 human lung cancer and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.
