Abstract
Fourteen ansamycin derivatives including seven new herbimycins G–L (1–6) and divergolide O (7), and seven known analogues were isolated from a culture broth of the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. SCSGAA 0027. Their complete structures were determined by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data and quantum chemical calculations. Compounds 1–5 and 7 featured an additional eight-membered O-heterocycle that has rarely been reported for ansamycins, and the Z,Z- and E,E-configurations for Δ2,Δ4 were reported for the first time in geldanamycin analogues. Compound 1 exhibited weak inhibition activity towards Hsp90α with an IC50 value of 96 µM, 2–5 showed mild cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 13 μM to 86 μM, and 7 had moderate anti-HSV-1 activity with an IC50 value of 19 µM and very weak cytotoxicity towards Vero cell. The possible biosynthetic pathways for 1–5 were proposed. And their structure-bioactivity relationship was also discussed.
