Structures, Biosynthesis, and Bioactivity of Oligomycins from the Marine-Derived Streptomyces sp. FXY-T5

Abstract

Oligomycins are potent antifungal and antitumor agents. Mass spectrometry (MS)-and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomic fingerprinting analysis of marine-derived actinomycetes in our in-house library provided an oligomycinproducing strain, Streptomyces sp. FXY-T5. Chemical investigation led to the discovery of five new oligomycins, 24-lumooligomycin B (1), 4-lumooligomycin B (2), 6-lumooligomycin B (3), 40-homooligomycin B (4), and 15-hydroxy-oligomycin B (5), together with seven biosynthetically related known derivatives. Their structures were assigned by MS, NMR, electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The biosynthesis pathway of oligomycins was first proposed based on the analysis of a type I modular polyketide synthase (PKS) system and targeted gene disruption. As expected, the isolated oligomycins showed significant antiagricultural fungal pathogen activity and antiproliferative properties from which the possible structure− activity relationships were first suggested. More importantly, oligomycins induced significant G1-phase cell cycle arrest on cancer cells and significantly attenuated their Cyclin D1 and PCNA expression through a β-catenin signaling pathway.
