Abstract
Salternamides A-D (1-4), the first secondary metabolites discovered from saltern-derived actinomycetes, were isolated from a halophilic Streptomyces strain isolated from a saltern on Shinui Island in the Republic of Korea. The planar structures of the salternamides, which are new members of the manumycin family, were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configurations of the salternamides were determined by chemical and spectroscopic methods, including the modified Mosher's method, J-based configuration analysis, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Salternamide A (1), which is the first chlorinated compound in the manumycin family, exhibited potent cytotoxicity against a human colon cancer cell line (HCT116) and a gastric cancer cell line (SNU638) with submicromolar IC50 values. Salternamides A and D were also determined to be weak Na(+)/K(+) ATPase inhibitors.
