Abstract
Four new echinomycin congeners, quinomycins M−P (1−4) were isolated from the cultures of the soil-derived Streptomyces sp. CPCC205575. The planar structures were determined by comprehensive analyses of NMR and HRESIMS/MS data. The absolute configurations were elucidated by the advanced Marfey’s method combined with biosynthetic gene analysis. Compounds 1−4 represent the first examples of quinomycin-type natural products with the sulfur atom at the N,S-dimethylcysteine residue oxidized as a sulfoxide group forming the unusual N-methyl-3-methylsulfinyl-alanine residue. Bioassay results revealed that the oxidation of the sulfur atom at the Cys or Cys′ residues led to dramatic decrease of cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Antibiotics seeks to promote research on antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances and publishes Articles, Review Articles, Brief Communication, Correspondence and other specially commissioned reports. The Journal of Antibiotics accepts papers on biochemical, chemical, microbiological and pharmacological studies. However, studies regarding human therapy do not fall under the journal’s scope. Contributions regarding recently discovered antibiotics and biologically active microbial products are particularly encouraged. Topics of particular interest within the journal''s scope include, but are not limited to, those listed below:
Discovery of new antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Production, isolation, characterization, structural elucidation, chemical synthesis and derivatization, biological activities, mechanisms of action, and structure-activity relationships of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Biosynthesis, bioconversion, taxonomy and genetic studies on producing microorganisms, as well as improvement of production of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Novel physical, chemical, biochemical, microbiological or pharmacological methods for detection, assay, determination, structural elucidation and evaluation of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Newly found properties, mechanisms of action and resistance-development of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances.
