Abstract
The strategy for the synthesis of the octahydronaphthalene core of natural macrolide sagamilactam has unintentionally evolved from the acyclic intramolecular (IMDA) to the transannular (TADA) Diels-Alder reaction. Lewis acid-promoted IMDA of a protected 2Z,8E,10E-4,6,12-trihydroxy-2,8,10-decatrienal model with a diol of 4,6-anti relative configuration, as proposed by DP4+-based computational studies, afforded the cis-octahydronaphthalene diastereomer through the Re-endo approach. The 26-membered macrodiolide generated, under thermal reaction conditions, the trans-octahydronaphthalene by a double TADA reaction along the desired Si-exo orientation.

Abstract
Macrolactam antibiotics incorporating β-amino acid polyketide starter units, isolated primarily from Actinomycetes species, show significant biological activities. This review provides a detailed analysis into the biosynthetic studies of vicenistatin, a macrolactam antibiotic with a 3-aminoisobutyrate starter unit, as well as biosynthetic research on related macrolactam compounds. Firstly, the elucidation of a common mechanism for the incorporation of β-amino acid starter units into the polyketide synthase (PKS) is described. Secondly, the unique biosynthetic mechanisms of the β-amino acids that are used to supply the main macrolactam biosynthetic pathways with starter units are discussed. Thirdly, some distinctive post-PKS modification mechanisms that complete macrolactam antibiotic biosynthesis are summarized. Finally, future directions for creating new macrolactam compounds through engineered biosynthesis pathways are described.

Abstract
To the best of our knowledge, enzymes that catalyse intramolecular Diels-Alder ([4+2] cycloaddition) reactions are frequently reported in natural product biosynthesis; however, no native enzymes utilising Lewis acid catalysis have been reported. Verticilactam is a representative member of polycyclic macrolactams, presumably produced by spontaneous cycloaddition. We report that the intramolecular [4+2] cycloadditions can be significantly accelerated by ferredoxins (Fds), a class of small iron-sulphur (Fe-S) proteins. Through iron atom substitution by Lewis acidic gallium (Ga) iron and computational calculations, we confirm that the ubiquitous Fe-S cluster efficiently functions as Lewis acid to accelerate the tandem [4+2] cycloaddition and Michael addition reactions by lowering free energy barriers. Our work highlights Nature's ingenious strategy to generate complex molecule structures using the ubiquitous Fe-S protein. Furthermore, our study sheds light on the future design of Fd as a versatile Lewis acid catalyst for [4+2] cycloaddition reactions.

Abstract
Polyene macrolactams are a special group of natural products with great diversity, unique structural features, and a wide range of biological activities. Herein, a cryptic gene cluster for the biosynthesis of putative macrolactams was disclosed from a sponge-associated bacterium, Streptomyces sp. DSS69, by genome mining. Cloning and heterologous expression of the whole biosynthetic gene cluster led to the discovery of weddellamycin, a polyene macrolactam bearing a 23/5/6 ring skeleton. A negative regulator, WdlO, and two positive regulators, WdlA and WdlB, involved in the regulation of weddellamycin production were unraveled. The fermentation titer of weddellamycin was significantly improved by overexpression of wdlA and wdlB and deletion of wdlO. Notably, weddellamycin showed remarkable antibacterial activity against various Gram-positive bacteria including MRSA, with MIC values of 0.10-0.83 μg/mL, and antifungal activity against Candida albicans, with an MIC value of 3.33 μg/mL. Weddellamycin also displayed cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 2.07 to 11.50 µM.

Abstract
In this work, we report a density functional theory (DFT) study and a dynamical trajectory study of substituent effects on the ambimodal [6+4]/[4+2] cycloaddition proposed for 1,3,5,10,12-cycloheptadecapentaene, referred to as cycloheptadecapentaene. The proposed cycloaddition proceeds through an ambimodal transition state, which results in both a [6+4] adduct a [4+2] adduct directly. The [6+4] adduct can be readily converted to the [4+2] adduct via a Cope rearrangement. We study the selectivity of the reaction with regard to the position of substituents, steric effects of substituents, and electronic effects of substituents. In the dynamical trajectory study, we find that nitro-substituted reactants lead to a new product from the ambimodal transition state via the hetero Diels-Alder reaction, and this new product can then be converted to a [4+2] adduct by a hetero [3, 3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. These results may provide insights for designing more bridged heterocyclic compounds.

Abstract
Twelve new polyenic macrolactams, cyclamenols G-R (1 and 3-13), together with the known analogue cyclamenol A (2), were isolated from Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-4348. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, quantum chemical calculations, chemical derivatizations, and Mosher's methods. The sequenced genome of OUCMDZ-4348 revealed the putative biosynthetic gene cluster of cyclamenols. It was proposed that the polycyclic natural products, cyclamenols H-R, might be formed from cyclamenols A and G through nonenzymatic intramolecular cycloadditions and oxidative cyclizations.

Abstract
β-Amino acid-containing macrolactams represent a structurally diverse group of bioactive natural products derived from polyketides; however we are currently lacking a comprehensive overview about their abundance across bacterial families and the underlying biosynthetic diversity. In this study, we employed a targeted β-amino acid-specific homology-based multi-query search to identify potential bacterial macrolactam producers. Here we demonstrate that approximately 10% of each of the identified actinobacterial genera harbor a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) encoding macrolactam production. Based on our comparative study, we propose that mutations occurring in specific regions of polyketide synthases (PKS) are the primary drivers behind the variation in macrolactam ring sizes. We successfully validated two producers of ciromicin A from the genus Amycolatopsis, revised the composition of the biosynthetic gene cluster region mte of macrotermycins, and confirmed the ciromicin biosynthetic pathway through heterologous expression. Additionally, network-based metabolomic analysis uncovered three previously unreported macrotermycin congeners from Amycolatopsis sp. M39. The combination of targeted mining and network-based analysis serves as a powerful tool for identifying macrolactam producers and our studies will catalyze the future discovery of yet unreported macrolactams.

Abstract
Adenylation enzymes activate amino acid substrates to aminoacyl adenylates and generally transfer this moiety onto the thiol group of the phosphopantetheine arm of a carrier protein for the selective incorporation of aminoacyl building blocks in natural product biosynthesis. In contrast to the canonical thioester-forming adenylation enzymes, the amide-forming adenylation enzyme VinM transfers an l-alanyl group onto the amino group of the aminoacyl unit attached to the phosphopantetheine arm of the carrier protein VinL to generate dipeptidyl-VinL in vicenistatin biosynthesis. It is unclear how VinM distinguishes aminoacyl-VinL from VinL for amide bond formation. Herein we describe structural and biochemical analyses of VinM. We determined the crystal structure of VinM in complex with VinL using a designed pantetheine-type cross-linking probe. The VinM-VinL complex structure in combination with site-directed mutagenesis analysis revealed that the interactions with both the phosphopantetheine arm and VinL are critical for the amide-forming activity of VinM.

Abstract
The logical and effective discovery of macrolactams, structurally unique natural molecules with diverse biological activities, has been limited by a lack of targeted search methods. Herein, a targeted discovery method for natural macrolactams was devised by coupling genomic signature-based PCR screening of a bacterial DNA library with spectroscopic signature-based early identification of macrolactams. DNA library screening facilitated the efficient selection of 43 potential macrolactam-producing strains (3.6% of 1,188 strains screened). The PCR amplicons of the amine-deprotecting enzyme-coding genes were analyzed to predict the macrolactam type (α-methyl, α-alkyl, or β-methyl) produced by the hit strains. 1H-15N HSQC-TOCSY NMR analysis of 15N-labeled culture extracts enabled macrolactam detection and structural type assignment without any purification steps. This method identified a high-titer Micromonospora strain producing salinilactam (1), a previously reported α-methyl macrolactam, and two Streptomyces strains producing new α-alkyl and β-methyl macrolactams. Subsequent purification and spectroscopic analysis led to the structural revision of 1 and the discovery of muanlactam (2), an α-alkyl macrolactam with diene amide and tetraene chromophores, and concolactam (3), a β-methyl macrolactam with a [16,6,6]-tricyclic skeleton. Detailed genomic analysis of the strains producing 1-3 identified putative biosynthetic gene clusters and pathways. Compound 2 displayed significant cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines (IC50 = 1.58 μM against HCT116), whereas 3 showed inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus sortase A. This genomic and spectroscopic signature-based method provides an efficient search strategy for new natural macrolactams and will be generally applicable for the discovery of nitrogen-bearing natural products.

Polyene Macrolactams from Marine and Terrestrial Sources: Structure, Production Strategies, Biosynthesis and Bioactivities. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20060360. [PMID: 35736163 PMCID: PMC9230918 DOI: 10.3390/md20060360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Over the past few decades (covering 1972 to 2022), astounding progress has been made in the elucidation of structures, bioactivities and biosynthesis of polyene macrolactams (PMLs), but they have only been partially summarized. PMLs possess a wide range of biological activities, particularly distinctive fungal inhibitory abilities, which render them a promising drug candidate. Moreover, the unique biosynthetic pathways including β-amino acid initiation and pericyclic reactions were presented in PMLs, leading to more attention from inside and outside the natural products community. According to current summation, in this review, the chem- and bio-diversity of PMLs from marine and terrestrial sources are considerably rich. A systematic, critical and comprehensive overview is in great need. This review described the PMLs’ general structural features, production strategies, biosynthetic pathways and the mechanisms of bioactivities. The challenges and opportunities for the research of PMLs are also discussed.

Abstract
16,17-Dihydroheronamide C (8) and ent-heronamide C (ent-1) were designed as probes for the mode-of-action analysis of heronamide C (1). These molecules were synthesized by utilizing a highly modular strategy developed in the preceding paper. The evaluation of the antifungal activity of these compounds revealed the exceptional importance of the C16-C17 double bond for the antifungal activity of heronamide C and the existence of chiral recognition between heronamide C (1) and cell membrane components.

Abstract
A highly modular synthetic strategy for the heronamide C-type polyene macrolactams was established by synthesizing 8-deoxyheronamide C (2). The developed strategy enabled not only the total synthesis of 8-deoxyheronamide C (2) but also the unified synthesis of four heronamide-like molecules named "heronamidoids" (5-8). Conformational and reactivity analysis of the heronamidoids clarified that (1) the C19 stereochemistry mainly affected the conformation of the amide linkage, resulting in the change of alignment of two polyene units and reactivity toward photochemical [6π + 6π] cycloaddition, and (2) the C8,C9-diol moiety is important for the conversion to the heronamide A-type skeleton from the heronamide C skeleton.
