Abstract
Cytochalasins are notable for their structural diversity and broad range of biological activities. The gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of cytochalasins bearing diverse polycycles was identified in Phomopsis sp. DHS-48. Characterization of the cluster indicated that only the 5/6/11-tricycle can be biosynthetically produced. The chemical space of cytochalasins was expanded by acid-mediated intramolecular cyclo-rearrangement of the 5/6/11-tricycle, and three new cytochalasins, phomoparagins D-F (13, 17, and 18, respectively), with diversified polycycles were obtained, among which compound 13 featured an unprecedented 5/6/5/7/6-pentacycle. Their structures and absolute configurations were established by spectroscopic analysis (1D, 2D NMR), electronic circular dichroism calculations, and a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment. The compounds inhibited the growth of HeLa and RKO cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 0.8 to 47.3 μM. Cytoskeleton staining experiments and molecular docking models revealed that compound 13 showed cytotoxicity by targeting F-actin.
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.
