Bromine/Sulfur-Substituted 9H-Carbazoles Produced by the Marine-Derived Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-5511 upon NaBr Exposure

Abstract

Ten undocumented carbazole derivatives (2−11) along with the reported analogue (1) were isolated from the mangrove-derived Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-5511, cultured with NaBr-supplemented liquid medium. Compounds 1−7 are brominated carbazoles, and 8, 10, and 11 feature an additional thiazole or 2,3-dihydro-1,4-oxathiine rings, respectively. Their structures were identified through spectroscopic techniques, computational chemistry, and X-ray crystallography. Notably, compounds 6 and 8 effectively inhibited immune cell migration, indicating antiinflammatory activity in vivo, potentially via Myd88/Nf-κB pathways, as suggested for compound 6.
