Abstract
Two undescribed frenolicins H and I (1 and 2) along with six previously described frenolicin analogues [frenolicins A (3), B (4), UCF76-B (5), E – G (6 – 8)] and two anthraquinones [3,8-dihydroxy-1-propylanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid (9) and 3,8-dihydroxy-1-propylanthraquinone (10)] were isolated from a longkong bark eating caterpillar-derived Streptomyces sp. TBRC17107. The chemical structures were determined by NMR spectroscopic information and HRESIMS data. Frenolicins H (1) and I (2) showed weak cytotoxicity against malignant and non-malignant cells. Frenolicins A (3) and B (4) showed antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum (IC50 17.4 and 1.37 μM), antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 50.0 and 0.20 μg/mL). Only frenolicin B had anti-plant pathogenic fungal activity against Collectotrichum acutatum and Alternaria brassicicola with MIC values of MIC 1.56 and 6.25 μg/mL, respectively. Frenolicins A and G possessed anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis with equal MICs of 25.0 μg/mL.
