Angucyclines: Total syntheses, new structures, and biosynthetic studies of an emerging new class of antibiotics

Abstract: General and recent aspects of chemical syntheses on angucyclinones and selected related natural products are summarized here. In the first part of this review on angucyclines, the chemical reaction used as a key step for the construction of the angucyclinone frame is discussed. In the second part, new members of the angucycline group of antibiotics, their bioactivity and recent biosynthetic studies including modern aspects of molecular biology (genetics) are reviewed.

“…To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting that angucyclinone antibiotics trigger activation of apoptotic pathways in tumor cells though many of this antibiotic group revealed antitumor activities (12)(13)(14)(15). The generation of ROS and disruption of mitochrondrial membrane potentials in CHM treatment lead to activation of intrinsic apoptotic pathway, consistent with the study that the action of angucycline antibiotic landomycin E induces KB-3-1 cells to apoptosis (16).…”

“…3Ј-OH, 4Ј-OH, 3-OH or 12b-OH [14,15]. Only the 4Ј-OH in the case of galtamycin B (11) and in the case of saquayamycin Z (14) both the 4Ј-OH and 3-OH are involved.…”

“…Looking for the molecular mass and formula of the compound by ESI-MS, the result was rather striking (C 73 H 102 O 29 , m/zϭ1465.63952 [MϩNa] ϩ ) and leads to the largest angucycline ever reported [14,15]. Thus we named the metabolite saquayamycin Z (14).…”

“…1,2 These natural products are isolated from the fermentation broth of Actinomycetes; they feature a benz [a]anthraquinone framework with varying degree of insaturation and oxygenation, and display a broad spectrum of biological activities including antitumor, antifungal and antiviral properties. 1,2 Their structural diversity has provided organic chemists with attractive targets for the development of various synthetic methodologies. Until now, most synthetic efforts have been directed toward angucyclines with an aromatic B ring.…”
