Abstract
Menominin A (1) and B (2), two cyclodepsipeptides containing a 3,8-dihydroxy-2-methyltetradecanoic acid residue, were isolated from the freshwater sponge-associated cyanobacterium, Nostoc sp. UIC 10607, using bioactivity-guided and spectroscopic approaches. The planar structures of 1 and 2 were established using HRESIMS and one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments. Comparative genomic analysis revealed unique differences in the putative menominin biosynthetic gene cluster compared to that of the closely related cyanobacterial cyclic lipodepsipeptide, hapalosin, assisting in structure elucidation and highlighting the structural diversity of this class of compounds. Configuration assignments were determined using a combination of J-based configuration analysis, chiral HPLC, modified Mosher's ester analysis, and DFT calculations. Menominin A and B demonstrate antiproliferative bioactivity against the high-grade serous ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR3 (IC50 = 3.1 (1) and 2.4 μM (2)). Menominin A and B are the first reported secondary metabolites from a freshwater sponge-associated cyanobacterium, underscoring the potential of freshwater sponges as a microbial culture source in natural product discovery.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
