The myxobacterial strainStigmatella aurantiacaMYX-030 was selected as promising source for the discovery of new biologically active natural products by our screening methodology. The isolation, structure elucidation and initial biological evaluation of the myxocoumarins derived from this strain are described in this work. These compounds comprise an unusual structural framework and exhibit remarkable antifungal properties.

The assignment of two stereocenters of the natural product haprolid through the application of a profile hidden Markov model (HMM) and its confirmation through total synthesis of the natural product and of two of its diastereomers are reported. The structure elucidation of this polyketide-peptide hybrid natural product is a telling showcase of how difficult it can be to determine the absolute configuration of isolated stereocenters and the benefits of a gene cluster analysis for structure determination. The key steps of the synthesis are a selective epoxidation of a terminal olefin and the stereodivergent macrolactonization strategy. Furthermore, the biological evaluation of all products showed that all diastereomers are potent inhibitors of hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines.

Abstract Oscillatoxins (OTXs) and aplysiatoxins (ATXs) are biosynthetically related polyketides produced by marine cyanobacteria. We previously developed a synthetic route to phenolic O-methyl analogs of OTX-D and 30-methyl-OTX-D during collective synthesis of these natural products. According to our synthetic strategy, we achieved total synthesis of OTX-D, 30-methyl-OTX-D, OTX-E, and OTX-F by deprotecting the O-methyl group in an earlier intermediate, and determined their biological activities. Although OTX-D and 30-methyl-OTX-D have been reported to show anti-leukemic activity against L1210 cell line, we found that their cytotoxicity in vitro against this cell line is relatively weak (IC50: 29–52 μM). In contrast, OTX-F demonstrated cell line-selective anti-proliferative activity against DMS-114 lung cancer cells, which implies that OTXs target as yet unknown target molecules as part of this unique activity.
