Abstract
Two novel spiro aromatic polyketides, (+)- and (-)-feionemycin A (1), along with four atypical angucyclinones named as chromonemycins A-D (2-5), were discovered through heterologous expression of a type II polyketide gene cluster, within which one previously characterized flavoprotein monooxygenase was deactivated. Among those structures, compound 1 features an unprecedented oxaspiro[5.4]undecane architecture, and compounds 2-5 represent novel atypical angucyclinone variants derived from unusual cyclization of the polyketide chains. The structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by NMR, MS, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, theoretical NMR calculations, DP4+ probability analysis, and ECD analyses. (+)-1 showed cytotoxic activity against NCI-H446, with an IC50 value of 2.26 μM.
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.
