Abstract
Bioassay-guided screening of antibacterial compounds from the cultured marine Streptomyces sp. ICN19 provided Ala-geninthiocin (1), along with its known analogs geninthiocin (2) and Val-geninthiocin (3) and the indolocarbazole staurosporine (4). The structure of 1 was determined on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectra and ESI-HRMS. The absolute configurations of the amino acid residues were determined by enantioselective GC-MS analysis. Compound 1 exhibited potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, and Micrococcus luteus, as well as cytotoxicity against A549 human lung carcinoma cells with an IC50 value of 6 nM.
