This work explored the spatial distribution of C17O, SiO, HC3N and SO2 molecules, as well as the energetics of outflows in G358.460.39 proto-cluster using ALMA band 7 archival data, with the aim of providing an improved understanding of its protostellar nature, gas kinematics and dynamics. G358.460.39 is previously known to consist of 4 dust continuum cores (MM1a, MM1b, MM1c and MM2). The integrated intensity map of C17O reveals filamentary and dumbbell-shaped structures that are probably compressed gases from the expansion of the HII region MM2. The SiO emission reveals spatially overlapped blue and red outflow lobes, likely driven by an unresolved young stellar object (YSO) in MM1a. The spatial distribution of HC3N and SO2 molecules in MM1a shows a compact morphology, with no detectable HC3N and SO2 emissions in the other cores. The SO2 emission reveals a clear velocity gradient in MM1a, as well as large velocity dispersion ( 3 km s) within the inner core of MM1a, which are consistent with rotating structures. We estimated the mass, momentum and energy outflow rate, as well as other outflow parameters. The SiO outflow exhibits a different morphology compared to the 12CO outflow morphology previously observed in MM1a. The SiO and 12CO outflows are probably associated with disks of separate cores with one face-on and the other edge-on, pointing to multiplicity of YSOs in MM1a. The properties of MM1a indicate that it is a massive protostar that is actively accreting and undergoing star formation.
