Abstract
N-Lanosyl guanidine (1), a new bromophenol containing a guanidine moiety was isolated from the red alga Vertebrata lanosa (L.) T.A. Christensen, which is frequently used for cosmetic purposes. Structure elucidation was performed by means of mass spectrometry as well as 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Due to its structural features, 1 might share a common biosynthetic route with known bromophenolic ureido derivatives. Regarding potential bioactivities, 1 has shown clear anti-inflammatory properties, reducing cytokine release in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-differentiated THP-1 macrophages. No signs of toxicity were observed, in either the cell line nor in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. However, 1 was inactive against the gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract
An efficient protocol for the synthesis of cyclic guanidine with exocyclic double bond has been developed. The synthesis has been achieved via intramolecular hydroamination of an intermediate propargyl guanidine by using silver acetate as catalyst in the presence of acetic acid. The reaction proceeds via the formation of acyclic propargyl guanidine in a one-pot reaction of N,N-dibromoarylsulfonamides, isonitriles, and propargylamine in the presence of K2CO3. In the second stage of the synthesis, the acyclic guanidine selectively undergoes 5-exo-dig cyclization in the presence of silver acetate and acetic acid to produce the five-membered cyclic guanidine framework having an exocyclic double bond as the constituent part. Short reaction time, wide substrate scope with good to high yields, and good functional group tolerance are the remarkable achievement of the present protocol.

Abstract
Molecular manipulation of guanidino-containing biomolecules in a cellular environment is fundamental to exploiting protein function and drug release, but currently, there is a lack of suitable methods for reaction screening and monitoring. To exploit the potential of the fluorescent method in this respect, herein, we evaluated a novel array of 7-guanidinyl coumarins by incorporating different substituted guanidino moieties into a coumarin scaffold. These compounds were prepared by guanidinylation reagent S-methylisothiourea or TFA-protected pyrazole-carboxamidine. Examination of their photophysical properties revealed that the fluorescence emission of alkyloxycarbonyl-substituted guanidinyl coumarin was significantly enhanced as compared with the unsubstituted analogue. This dramatic fluorescence difference enabled preliminary exploitation of the Pd-catalyzed release of allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc)-caged guanidinyl coumarin-6 in living cells.

Abstract
Cyclic arginine noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) are found in several actinobacterial peptide natural products with therapeutically useful antibacterial properties. The preparation of ncAAs like enduracididine and capreomycidine currently takes multiple biosynthetic or chemosynthetic steps, thus limiting the commercial availability and applicability of these cyclic guanidine-containing amino acids. We recently discovered and characterized the biosynthetic pathway of guanitoxin, a potent freshwater cyanobacterial neurotoxin, that contains an arginine-derived cyclic guanidine phosphate within its highly polar structure. The ncAA l-enduracididine is an early intermediate in guanitoxin biosynthesis and is produced by GntC, a unique pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme. GntC catalyzes a cyclodehydration from a stereoselectively γ-hydroxylated l-arginine precursor via a reaction that functionally and mechanistically diverges from previously established actinobacterial cyclic arginine ncAA pathways. Herein, we interrogate l-enduracididine biosynthesis from the cyanobacterium Sphaerospermopsis torques-reginae ITEP-024 using spectroscopy, stable isotope labeling techniques, and X-ray crystallography structure-guided site-directed mutagenesis. GntC initially facilitates the reversible deprotonations of the α- and β-positions of its substrate before catalyzing an irreversible diastereoselective dehydration and subsequent intramolecular cyclization. The comparison of holo- and substrate-bound GntC structures and activity assays on site-specific mutants further identified amino acid residues that contribute to the overall catalytic mechanism. These interdisciplinary efforts at structurally and functionally characterizing GntC enable an improved understanding of how nature divergently produces cyclic arginine ncAAs and generate additional tools for their biocatalytic production and downstream biological applications.

Leishmanicidal Activity of Guanidine Derivatives against Leishmania infantum. Trop Med Infect Dis 2023; 8:tropicalmed8030141.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical infectious disease with thousands of cases annually; it is of great concern to global health, particularly the most severe form, visceral leishmaniasis. Visceral leishmaniasis treatments are minimal and have severe adverse effects. As guanidine-bearing compounds have shown antimicrobial activity, we analyzed the cytotoxic effects of several guanidine-bearing compounds on Leishmania infantum in their promastigote and amastigote forms in vitro, their cytotoxicity in human cells, and their impact on reactive nitrogen species production. LQOFG-2, LQOFG-6, and LQOFG-7 had IC50 values of 12.7, 24.4, and 23.6 µM, respectively, in promastigotes. These compounds exhibited cytotoxicity in axenic amastigotes at 26.1, 21.1, and 18.6 µM, respectively. The compounds showed no apparent cytotoxicity in cells from healthy donors. To identify mechanisms of action, we evaluated cell death processes by annexin V and propidium iodide staining and nitrite production. Guanidine-containing compounds caused a significant percentage of death by apoptosis in amastigotes. Independent of L. infantum infection, LQOFG-7 increased nitrite production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which suggests a potential mechanism of action for this compound. Therefore, these data suggest that guanidine derivatives are potential anti-microbial molecules, and further research is needed to fully understand their mechanism of action, especially in anti-leishmanial studies.

Abstract
Natural guanidines, molecules that contain the guanidine moiety, are structurally unique and often exhibit potent biological activities. A phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Alchornea rugosa (Lour.) Müll.Arg. by MS/MS-based molecular networking revealed eight undescribed guanidine-flavanol conjugates named rugonines A-H. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were comprehensively elucidated by NMR spectroscopy, HRESIMS, and circular dichroism (CD) analysis. All isolated compounds were tested for autophagosome formation in HEK293 cells stably expressing GFP-LC3. The results revealed that compounds rugonines D-G showed potential autophagy inhibitory activity.

Abstract
Two new guanidine alkaloids, batzelladines O (1) and P (2), were isolated from the deep-water marine sponge Monanchora pulchra. The structures of these metabolites were determined by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and ECD. The isolated compounds exhibited cytotoxic activity in human prostate cancer cells PC3, PC3-DR, and 22Rv1 at low micromolar concentrations and inhibited colony formation and survival of the cancer cells. Batzelladines O (1) and P (2) induced apoptosis, which was detected by Western blotting as caspase-3 and PARP cleavage. Additionally, induction of pro-survival autophagy indicated as upregulation of LC3B-II and suppression of mTOR was observed in the treated cells. In line with this, the combination with autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine synergistically increased the cytotoxic activity of batzelladines O (1) and P (2). Both compounds were equally active in docetaxel-sensitive and docetaxel-resistant prostate cancer cells, despite exhibiting a slight p-glycoprotein substrate-like activity. In combination with docetaxel, an additive effect was observed. In conclusion, the isolated new guanidine alkaloids are promising drug candidates for the treatment of taxane-resistant prostate cancer.

Abstract
The guanidine moiety is typically a highly basic group, and can be found in a wide variety of drugs, such as zanamivir (Relenza) and metformin (Fortamet), as well as in biologically active compounds for numerous disease areas, including central nervous system (CNS) diseases and chemotherapeutics. This review will focus on antifungal agents which contain at least one guanidine group, for the treatment of human-related fungal pathogens, described in the literature between 2004 and 2022. These compounds include small molecules, steroids, polymers, metal complexes, sesquiterpenes, natural products, and polypeptides. It shall be made clear that a diverse range of guanidine-containing derivatives have been published in the literature and have antifungal activity, including efficacy in in vivo experiments.

Abstract
We describe studies of the thermal guanidine metathesis (TGM) reaction, a reversible transformation that results in exchange of N-substituents of the guanidine functional group. By comparing the effects of discrete structural variations, we find that steric congestion is an important factor in determining both the equilibrium guanidine composition and the reaction kinetics. The alkyl versus aryl nature of N-substitution also plays an essential role in the reaction rate, up to the point that minimal TGM reactivity is observed when the guanidine contains wholly alkyl substituents. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TGM occurs under thermodynamic control and present evidence that it proceeds by a dissociative mechanism, supported by direct observation of a carbodiimide intermediate.

Abstract
We demonstrate that dibenzocyclooctendiones (DBCDOs) are efficient chemical reagents for the site-specific labeling of arginine-containing biomolecules. Unlike the commonly used probes, DBCDOs undergo an irreversible ring-contracted rearrangement with the guanidinium group on arginine residues under mild reaction conditions. The regioselective dual-labeled arginine residues were obtained in a one-pot reaction with our tested substrates. The efficiency of DBCDOs reactions and their ease of synthesis make DBCDOs an attractive choice for the site-selective bioconjugation of arginine.

Abstract
The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel guanidino sugars as isonucleoside analogs is described. 5-Guanidino xylofuranoses containing 3- O -saturated/unsaturated hydrocarbon or aromatic-containing moieties were accessed from 5-azido xylofuranoses via reduction followed by guanidinylation with N , N '-bis( tert -butoxycarbonyl)- N ''-triflylguanidine. Molecules comprising novel types of isonucleosidic structures including 5-guanidino 3- O -methyl-branched N -benzyltriazole isonucleosides and a guanidinomethyltriazole 3'- O -dodecyl xylofuranos-5'-yl isonucleoside were accessed. The guanidinomethyltriazole derivative and a 3- O -dodecyl ( N -Boc)guanidino xylofuranose were revealed as selective inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase ( K i = 22.87 and 7.49 µM, respectively). The latter also showed moderate antiproliferative effects in chronic myeloid leukemia (K562) and breast cancer (MCF-7) cells. An aminomethyltriazole 5'-isonucleoside was the most potent molecule with low micromolar GI 50 values in both cells (GI 50 = 6.33 μM, 8.45 μM), similar to that of the drug 5-fluorouracil in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, the most bioactive compounds showed low toxicity in human fibroblasts, further indicating their interest as promising lead molecules.

Abstract
Bacteria of the genus Massilia represent an underexplored source of bioactive natural products. Here, we report the discovery of massinidine (1), a guanidine alkaloid with antiplasmodial activity, from these microbes. The unusual scaffold of massinidine is shown to originate from l-phenylalanine, acetate, and l-arginine. Massinidine biosynthesis genes were identified in the native producer and validated through heterologous expression in Myxococcus xanthus. Bioinformatic analyses indicate that the potential for massinidine biosynthesis is distributed in various proteobacteria.

Abstract
This review deals with the synthesis of naturally occurring alkaloids containing partially or completely saturated pyrimidine nuclei. The interest in these compounds is associated with their structural diversity, high biological activity and toxicity. The review is divided into four parts, each of which describes a number of synthetic methodologies toward structurally different naturally occurring alkaloids containing saturated cyclic six-membered amidine, guanidine, aminal and urea (thiourea) moieties, respectively. The development of various synthetic strategies for the preparation of these compounds has remarkably increased during the past few decades. This is primarily due to the fact that some of these compounds are isolated only in limited quantities, which makes it practically impossible to study their full structural characteristics and biological activity.

Abstract
Rugonidines A-F (1-6), three pairs of novel configurationally semistable diastereomers featuring an unprecedented 1,6-dioxa-7,9-diazaspiro[4.5]dec-7-en-8-amine scaffold, were isolated from Alchornea rugosa based on MS/MS-based molecular networking analysis. Their structures were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy in combination with quantum-chemical calculations. Compounds 1-3 showed a significant increase in glucose uptake level in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes using 2-deoxy-2-[(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]-d-glucose (2-NBDG) as a fluorescent-tagged glucose probe.

Abstract
The enantioselective hydrophosphonylation of N-Boc imines was investigated using a new family of pseudo-symmetric guanidine-thiourea catalysts, providing α-amino phosphonates in moderate to high yields with good enantioselectivity. The catalyst was heterogenized by polymerization with styrene and the resulting catalyst was applied to reactions under continuous-flow conditions.

Bacterial marginolactones trigger formation of algal gloeocapsoids, protective aggregates on the verge of multicellularity. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2021; 118:2100892118.

Abstract
Photosynthetic microorganisms including the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are essential to terrestrial habitats as they start the carbon cycle by conversion of CO2 to energy-rich organic carbohydrates. Terrestrial habitats are densely populated, and hence, microbial interactions mediated by natural products are inevitable. We previously discovered such an interaction between Streptomyces iranensis releasing the marginolactone azalomycin F in the presence of C. reinhardtii Whether the alga senses and reacts to azalomycin F remained unknown. Here, we report that sublethal concentrations of azalomycin F trigger the formation of a protective multicellular structure by C. reinhardtii, which we named gloeocapsoid. Gloeocapsoids contain several cells which share multiple cell membranes and cell walls and are surrounded by a spacious matrix consisting of acidic polysaccharides. After azalomycin F removal, gloeocapsoid aggregates readily disassemble, and single cells are released. The presence of marginolactone biosynthesis gene clusters in numerous streptomycetes, their ubiquity in soil, and our observation that other marginolactones such as desertomycin A and monazomycin also trigger the formation of gloeocapsoids suggests a cross-kingdom competition with ecological relevance. Furthermore, gloeocapsoids allow for the survival of C. reinhardtii at alkaline pH and otherwise lethal concentrations of azalomycin F. Their structure and polysaccharide matrix may be ancestral to the complex mucilage formed by multicellular members of the Chlamydomonadales such as Eudorina and Volvox Our finding suggests that multicellularity may have evolved to endure the presence of harmful competing bacteria. Additionally, it underlines the importance of natural products as microbial cues, which initiate interesting ecological scenarios of attack and counter defense.

Abstract
Indoles are a significant heterocyclic system in natural products and drugs. They are important types of molecules and natural products and play a main role in cell biology. The application of indole derivatives as biologically active compounds for the treatment of cancer cells, microbes, and different types of disorders in the human body has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Indoles, both natural and synthetic, show various biologically vital properties. Owing to the importance of this significant ring system, the investigation of novel methods of synthesis have attracted the attention of the chemical community. In this review, we aim to highlight the construction of indoles as a moiety in selected alkaloids.

Abstract
The nonheme iron enzyme OrfP reacts with l-Arg selectively to form the 3R,4R-dihydroxyarginine product, which in mammals can inhibit the nitric oxide synthase enzymes involved in blood pressure control. To understand the mechanisms of dioxygen activation of l-Arg by OrfP and how it enables two sequential oxidation cycles on the same substrate, we performed a density functional theory study on a large active site cluster model. We show that substrate binding and positioning in the active site guides a highly selective reaction through C3 -H hydrogen atom abstraction. This happens despite the fact that the C3 -H and C4 -H bond strengths of l-Arg are very similar. Electronic differences in the two hydrogen atom abstraction pathways drive the reaction with an initial C3 -H activation to a low-energy 5 σ-pathway, while substrate positioning destabilizes the C4 -H abstraction and sends it over the higher-lying 5 π-pathway. We show that substrate and monohydroxylated products are strongly bound in the substrate binding pocket and hence product release is difficult and consequently its lifetime will be long enough to trigger a second oxygenation cycle.

Abstract
Filamentous marine cyanobacteria make a variety of bioactive molecules that are produced by polyketide synthases, nonribosomal peptide synthetases, and hybrid pathways that are encoded by large biosynthetic gene clusters. These cyanobacterial natural products represent potential drug leads; however, thorough pharmacological investigations have been impeded by the limited quantity of compound that is typically available from the native organisms. Additionally, investigations of the biosynthetic gene clusters and enzymatic pathways have been difficult due to the inability to conduct genetic manipulations in the native producers. Here we report a set of genetic tools for the heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene clusters in the cyanobacteria Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 and Anabaena (Nostoc) PCC 7120. To facilitate the transfer of gene clusters in both strains, we engineered a strain of Anabaena that contains S. elongatus homologous sequences for chromosomal recombination at a neutral site and devised a CRISPR-based strategy to efficiently obtain segregated double recombinant clones of Anabaena. These genetic tools were used to express the large 28.7 kb cryptomaldamide biosynthetic gene cluster from the marine cyanobacterium Moorena (Moorea) producens JHB in both model strains. S. elongatus did not produce cryptomaldamide; however, high-titer production of cryptomaldamide was obtained in Anabaena. The methods developed in this study will facilitate the heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene clusters isolated from marine cyanobacteria and complex metagenomic samples.

The fragmentation of anomeric alkoxyl radicals (ARF) and the subsequent cyclization promoted by hypervalent iodine provide an excellent method for the synthesis of guanidino-sugars. The methodology described herein is one of the few existing general methodologies for the formation of medium-sized exo- and endoguanidine-containing heterocycles presenting a high degree of oxygenation in their structure.

Abstract
Free guanidine is increasingly recognized as a relevant molecule in biological systems. Recently, it was reported that urea carboxylase acts preferentially on guanidine, and consequently, it was considered to participate directly in guanidine biodegradation. Urea carboxylase combines with allophanate hydrolase to comprise the activity of urea amidolyase, an enzyme predominantly found in bacteria and fungi that catalyzes the carboxylation and subsequent hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Here, we demonstrate that urea carboxylase and allophanate hydrolase from Pseudomonas syringae are insufficient to catalyze the decomposition of guanidine. Rather, guanidine is decomposed to ammonia through the combined activities of urea carboxylase, allophanate hydrolase, and two additional proteins of the DUF1989 protein family, expansively annotated as urea carboxylase-associated family proteins. These proteins comprise the subunits of a heterodimeric carboxyguanidine deiminase (CgdAB), which hydrolyzes carboxyguanidine to N-carboxyurea (allophanate). The genes encoding CgdAB colocalize with genes encoding urea carboxylase and allophanate hydrolase. However, 25% of urea carboxylase genes, including all fungal urea amidolyases, do not colocalize with cgdAB. This subset of urea carboxylases correlates with a notable Asp to Asn mutation in the carboxyltransferase active site. Consistent with this observation, we demonstrate that fungal urea amidolyase retains a strong substrate preference for urea. The combined activities of urea carboxylase, carboxyguanidine deiminase and allophanate hydrolase represent a newly recognized pathway for the biodegradation of guanidine. These findings reinforce the relevance of guanidine as a biological metabolite and reveal a broadly distributed group of enzymes that act on guanidine in bacteria.

Marine alkaloid monanchoxymycalin C: a new specific activator of JNK1/2 kinase with anticancer properties. Sci Rep 2020; 10:13178. [PMID: 32764580 PMCID: PMC7411023 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-69751-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Monanchoxymycalin C (MomC) is a new marine pentacyclic guanidine alkaloid, recently isolated from marine sponge Monanchora pulchra by us. Here, anticancer activity and mechanism of action was investigated for the first time using a human prostate cancer (PCa) model. MomC was active in all PCa cell lines at low micromolar concentrations and induced an unusual caspase-independent, non-apoptotic cell death. Kinase activity screening identified activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK1/2) to be one of the primary molecular mechanism of MomC anticancer activity. Functional assays demonstrated a specific and selective JNK1/2 activation prior to the induction of other cell death related processes. Inhibition of JNK1/2 by pretreatment with the JNK-inhibitor SP600125 antagonized cytotoxic activity of the marine compound. MomC caused an upregulation of cytotoxic ROS. However, in contrast to other ROS-inducing agents, co-treatment with PARP-inhibitor olaparib revealed antagonistic effects indicating an active PARP to be necessary for MomC activity. Interestingly, although no direct regulation of p38 and ERK1/2 were detected, active p38 kinase was required for MomC efficacy, while the inhibition of ERK1/2 increased its cytotoxicity. In conclusion, MomC shows promising activity against PCa, which is exerted via JNK1/2 activation and non-apoptotic cell death.

Urupocidin C: a new marine guanidine alkaloid which selectively kills prostate cancer cells via mitochondria targeting. Sci Rep 2020; 10:9764.

Abstract
New bicyclic guanidine alkaloid, urupocidin C (Ur-C) along with the previously known urupocidin A (Ur-A) were isolated from the rare deep-sea marine sponge Monanchora pulchra, harvested in Northwestern Pacific waters. The unique structure of Ur-C was elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy as well as mass spectra. We discovered a promising selectivity of both alkaloids for human prostate cancer (PCa) cells, including highly drug-resistant lines, compared to non-malignant cells. In cancer cells, marine derived compounds were able to induce G1- and S-cell cycle arrest as well as caspase-mediated cell death. For the first time we have identified mitochondrial targeting as a central mechanism of anticancer action for these and similar molecules. Thus, treatment with the isolated alkaloids resulted in mitochondrial membrane permeabilization consequently leading to the release of cytotoxic mitochondrial proteins to cellular cytoplasm, ROS upregulation, consequent activation of caspase-9 and -3, followed by PARP cleavage, DNA fragmentation, and apoptosis. Moreover, synergistic effects were observed when Ur-A and Ur-C were combined with clinically approved PARP inhibitor olaparib. Finally, these alkaloids exhibited additive effects in combination with docetaxel and androgen receptor inhibitor enzalutamide, both applied in PCa therapy. In conclusion, urupocidin-like compounds are promising lead molecules for the development of new drugs for the treatment of advanced PCa.

Abstract
Medicinal plants have been known as a rich source of natural products (NPs). Due to their diverse chemical structures and remarkable pharmacological activities, NPs are regarded as important repertoires for drug discovery and development. Biebersteinia plant species belong to the Biebersteiniaceae family, and have been used in folk medicines in China and Iran for ages. However, the chemical properties, bioactivities and modes of action of the NPs produced by medicinal Biebersteinia species are poorly understood despite the fact that there are only four known Biebersteinia species worldwide. Here, we reviewed the chemical classifications and diversity of the various NPs found in the four known Biebersteinia species. We found that the major chemical categories in these plants include flavonoids, alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, essential oils and fatty acids. We also discussed the anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, antioxidant, antihypertensive and hypoglycemic effects of the four Biebersteinia species. We believe that the present review will facilitate the exploration of traditional uses and pharmacological properties of Biebersteinia species, extraction of the NPs and elucidation of their molecular mechanisms, as well as the development of novel drugs based on the reported properties and mode-of-action.

Abstract
A highly efficient 2-chloroquinazolin-4(3H)-one rearrangement was developed that predictably generates either twisted-cyclic or ring-fused guanidines in a single operation, depending on the presence of a primary versus secondary amine in the accompanying diamine reagent. Exclusive formation of twisted-cyclic guanidines results from pairing 2-chloroquinazolinones with secondary diamines. Use of primary amine-containing diamines permits a domino quinazolinone rearrangement/intramolecular cyclization, gated through (E)-twisted-cyclic guanidines, to afford ring-fused N-acylguanidines. This scalable, structurally tolerant transformation generated 55 guanidines and delivered twisted-cyclic guanidines with robust plasma stability and an abbreviated total synthesis of an antitumor ring-fused guanidine (4 steps, 55 % yield).

Abstract
The synthesis of an unreported 2-aminopyrrolidine-1-carboxamidine unit is here described for the first time. This unusual and promising structure was attained through the oxidative decarboxylation of amino acids using the pair of reagents, silver(I)/peroxydisulfate (Ag(I)/S2O82−) followed by intermolecular (in the case of l-proline derivative) and intramolecular trapping (in the case of acyl l-arginine) by N-nucleophiles. The l-proline approach has a broader scope for the synthesis of 2-aminopyrrolidine-1-carboxamidine derivatives, whereas the intramolecular cyclization afforded by the l-acylarginines, when applied, results in higher yields. The former allowed the first synthesis of cernumidine, a natural alkaloid isolated in 2011 from Solanum cernuum Vell, as its racemic form.

Abstract
Teixobactin represents a new class of antibiotics with novel structure and excellent activity against Gram-positive pathogens and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Herein, we report a one-pot reaction to conveniently construct the key building block L-allo-Enduracidine in 30-gram scale in just one hour and a convergent strategy (3 + 2 + 6) to accomplish a gram-scale total synthesis of teixobactin. Several analogs are described, with 20 and 26 identified as the most efficacious analogs with 3~8-fold and 2~4-fold greater potency against vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecalis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus respectively in comparison with teixobactin. In addition, they show high efficiency in Streptococcus pneumoniae septicemia mouse model and neutropenic mouse thigh infection model using methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. We also propose that the antiparallel β-sheet of teixobactin is important for its bioactivity and an antiparallel dimer of teixobactin is the minimal binding unit for lipid II via key amino acids variations and molecular docking.

Abstract
Marine sponges of the genus Stelletta are well known as rich sources of diverse and complex biologically relevant natural products, including alkaloids, terpenoids, peptides, lipids, and steroids. Some of these metabolites, with novel structures and promising biological activities, have attracted a lot of attention from chemists seeking to perform their total synthesis in parallel to intensive biological studies towards new drug leads. In this review, we summarized the distribution of the chemically investigated Stelletta sponges, the isolation, synthesis and biological activities of their secondary metabolites, covering the literature from 1982 to early 2018.

The emphasis is on new compounds (1490 in 477 papers for 2017), together with the relevant biological activities, source organisms and country of origin. Reviews, biosynthetic studies, first syntheses, and syntheses that led to the revision of structures or stereochemistries, have been included. Geographic distributions of MNPs at a phylogenetic level are reported.
