ABSTRACT: Four new α-pyrones (1−4) and eight known analogues (5−12) were identified from the secondary metabolites of Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-3436 derived from the marine green algae, Enteromorpha prolifera. Seven new α-pyridones (14−20) were constructed by diversity-oriented synthesis, which has been an effective approach to expanding the chemical space of natural-product-like compounds. Compounds 16, 17, 19 and 20 were found to have inhibitory effect on the gene expression controlled by quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa QSIS-lasI.

■ INTRODUCTION A large number of new bioactive natural products have been isolated marine-derived microorganisms.1,2 Most of these microorganisms were isolated from segments, corals, and sponges.3,4 In recent years, the secondary metabolites of microbes living with marine algae have attracted attentions of researchers.5,6 Numerous biologically active compounds have been discovered from this special resource.7,8 Green tide is a kind of harmful algae which is common in the coastal countries of the world. Enteromorpha prolifera is one of the most common algae to cause green tide. The frequent outbreak of this algae in Qingdao provided an opportunity for us to research the secondary metabolites of microbes associated with it. Our previous studies revealed several bioactive natural products from E. prolifera associated strains, 9–11 such as wailupemycins. As part of our studies to find new special structures from microbes associated with Enteromorpha for further investigation on chemical diversity-enhanced synthesis, we identified four new α-pyrones, germicidin K−N (1−4), as well as the known germicidin A (5),12–16germicidin B (6),12,13 germicidin C (7),14,15 germicidin D (8),14 germicidin H (9),17 germicidin I (10),17 germicidin J (11),17 and isogermicidin A (12),15 from the metabolites of Streptomyces

sp. OUCMDZ-3436. Although we

did not find any activities of these α-pyrones in the antimicrobial and quorum sensing inhibitory bioassays, we found this skeleton could be easily transformed into pyridin-2(1H)-one, which have been verified to have a variety of biological activities.18–26 Thus, we utilized the approach of “diversity-enhanced extracts” 27,28 to obtain α-pyridones from the α-pyrones-containing fraction. The fraction in ammonia solution was refluxed and the crude products were purified to afford seven new α-pyridones (14−20). Compounds 16, 17, 19 and 20 could inhibit the gene expression controlled by quorum sensing (QS) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa QSIS-lasI biosensor at a dose of 6.35 µg per well. ■ MATERIALS AND METHODS 3

General Experimental Procedures. NMR spectra were measured on a Varian System 500 spectrometer in the solution of DMSO-d6 (δH/C 2.50/39.52), CD3OD (δH/C 3.31/49.00) or CHCl3 (δH/C 7.26/77.16). HRESIMS data were collected on a LC mass spectrometer, Q-TOF ULTIMA GLOBAL GAA076. UV data were measured by a 2487 detector of Waters. ECD spectra were recorded by the JASCO J-815 spectrometer. IR spectra were obtained from the Nicolet NEXUS 470 spectrophotometer using KBr discs as blank. Optical rotations were measured by a JASCO P-1020 digital polarimeter, using a halogen lamp as light source (589 nm). An ODS column (YMC-pack ODS-A, 5 µm, 250 × 4.6 mm, 1.0 mL/min) and another column with some packing (YMC-pack ODS-A, 5 µm, 250 × 10 mm, 4.0 mL/min) were used for analytical HPLC and semi-preparative HPLC, respectively. Column chromatography (CC) were performed over silica gel (200−300 mesh, Marine Chemical Factory of Qingdao) and Sephadex LH-20 (Amersham Biosciences), respectively. TLC plates were pre-coated with silica gel GF254 (10−40 µm). Collection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Strain OUCMDZ-3436. The bacterial strain OUCMDZ-3436 was isolated from the green alga, Enteromorpha prolifera, which was collected from Zhanqiao Beach, Qingdao, Shandong Province, China, in August 2012. Suspension of the E. prolifera shatters was deposited on an ISP2 agar plate (10 g/L malt powder, 4 g/L glucose, 4 g/L yeast extract, 20 g/L agar, in sea water), nystatin (100 µg/mL) was used as a fungi inhibitor in the medium. Then, the culture was incubated at 28 °C for 8 d and bacterial colonies were selected and streaked to purity using the same agar media. 16S rRNA gene sequence helped to identify the genus of OUCMDZ-3436 (GenBank access no. MG437309). Cultivation and Extraction of OUCMDZ-3436. Bacterium OUCMDZ-3436 was cultured in three Erlenmeyer flasks (500 mL) each equipped with 150 mL of a seawater-based medium (10 g/L starch, 3 g/L beef extract, 20 g/L glucose, 10 g/L peptone, 10 g/L yeast extract, 0.5 g/L MgSO4, 2 4

g/L CaCO3, 0.5 g/L KH2PO4, pH 7.5−8.0, in seawater) and shaken for three days (28 ± 0.5°C, 180 rpm), which were used as the seed liquid. The seed liquid (3 mL) was then directly inoculated into an Erlenmeyer flask (500 mL) equipped with 150 mL of the same medium as above, cultivated at 28 ± 0.5 °C for 9 days with shaking at 180 rpm. By extracting the whole broth (100 L) with equal volumes of EtOAc repeatedly, 30 g crude extract was collected in total. Purification. The crude extract (30 g) was subjected to a silica gel VLC column and eluted gradiently with CH2Cl2–petroleum ether (50−100%) and then MeOH–CH2Cl2 (0−50%), and eight fractions (Fr.1−Fr.8) were obtained. Fr.4 (3 g) was subjected to Sephadex LH-20 eluting with MeOH to give six fractions (Fr.4.1−Fr.4.6). Fr.4.4 (105 mg) was further prepared by semi-preparative HPLC (40% MeOH–H2O, YMC-pack ODS-A column) to yield compounds 6 (4.0 mg, tR = 19.2 min), 7 (12.0 mg, tR = 19.6 min), 10 (9.0 mg, tR = 21.5 min), 5 (6.5 mg, tR = 29.3 min), 12 (3.0 mg, tR = 30.5 min) and 11 (2.0 mg, tR = 32.0 min). Fr.4.5 (72 mg) was further prepared by semi-preparative HPLC (40% MeOH–H2O, YMC-pack ODS-A column), and compounds 8 (7.0 mg, tR = 13.3 min) and 9 (4.5 mg, tR = 14.6 min) were obtained. Fraction 5 (4 g) was separated into six fractions (Fr.5.1−Fr.5.6) on Sephadex LH-20, eluting with MeOH. Fr.5.1 (207 mg) was then fractionated by VLC on silica gel (200−300 mesh). A step gradient of EtOAc–petroleum ether (20−100%) was used for eluting, and eight subfractions (Fr.5.1.1–Fr.5.1.8) were collected. Fr.5.1.7 (42 mg) was further subjected to semi-preparative HPLC (30% MeOH–H2O, YMC-pack ODS-A column), and compounds 2 (23.0 mg, tR = 14.3 min) and 3 (5.0 mg, tR = 15.3 min) were obtained. Fr.5.1.8 (21 mg) was subjected to the semi-preparative HPLC (30% MeOH–H2O, YMC-pack ODS-A column), and then compound 1 (8.0 mg, tR = 12.5 min) was obtained. Fr.5.2 (172 mg) was fractioned into Fr.5.2.1–Fr.5.2.4 by VLC on silica gel (200−300 mesh), eluting with a gradient mixture of EtOAc– petroleum ether (30−100%). Fr.5.2.3 (25 mg) was prepared by HPLC (30% MeOH–H2O, YMC-pack 5

HRESIMS spectrum showed the molecular ion peak at m/z 199.0960 [M + H] +, indicating the molecular formula of C10H14O4. The 13

C NMR spectrum showed ten signals of carbon including three methyl carbons, one sp3 methylene

carbon, one sp2 methine group, and five non-protonated carbons (Table 1). Five carbon signals at δC 169.1, 167.6, 161.8, 103.8, and 99.4 and the proton signal at δH 6.09 (Table 1), together with the correlative signals between H-5 (δH 6.09) and C-4 (δC 167.6), C-6 (δC 161.8) in the HMBC spectrum suggested the 4-hydroxy-2-pyrone skeleton (Figure 1). The remaining NMR signals and the HMBC correlative signals of H2-7 (δH 2.60) to C-8 (δC 71.0) and C-9 (δC 29.4) as well as H3-9 (δH 1.26) to C-10 (δC 29.4) constituted a methyl group and a 2-hydroxyisobutyl moiety. Basing on the HMBC correlative signals of H3-11 (δH 1.86) to C-2 (δC 169.1), C-3 (δC 99.4) and C-4 (Figure 1), the methyl group was connected to C-3 (δC 99.4). Basing on the HMBC correlative signals of H2-7 to C-5 (δC 103.8) (Figure 1), the 2-hydroxyisobutyl fragment should be connected to C-6 (δC 161.8). Therefore, 4-hydroxy-6-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-3-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one was confirmed to be the structure of compound 1. Germicidin L (2) was obtained as colorless needles. HRESIMS spectrum showed the molecular ion peak at m/z 199.0960 [M + H] + (C10H14O4), indicating an isomer of 1. By comparing its 13C and 1

H NMR spectra (Table 1) with 1, it could be found that two methine signals at δC/H 69.9/3.92 and

46.8/2.52 in 2 replaced the corresponding non-protonated carbon signal at δC 71.0 and methylene signals at δC/H 48.0/2.60 in 1. These changes along with the COSY correlative signals of 10


Page 11 of 21


H3-10/H-7/H-8/H3-9 (Figure 1) supported that the 2-hydroxy-sec-butyl group in 2 replaced the 2-hydroxyisobutyl in 1. The X-ray crystal of 2 (Cu Kα, Flack parameter: 0.0 (2)) confirmed the structure and the 7S, 8R configuration (Figure 2). We also adapted the Mosher's modified method to confirm the absolute configuration of 2. In order to avoid the effect of 4-OH, the 4-O-methyl derivative (13) was prepared. Then the corresponding (R)- and (S)-MTPA esters (13b and 13a) of 13 were obtained by reacting with (S)- and (R)-MTPA chloride, respectively. The chemical shift differences of 13a and 13b (∆δS−R) in the 1H NMR spectra helped to define the 8R configuration (Figure

1).

Thus,

compound

2

was

clearly

identified

as

4-hydroxy-6-((2S,3R)-3-hydroxybutan-2-yl)-3-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one. Germicidin M (3) was obtained as colorless needles. The molecular ion peak at m/z 199.0960 [M + H] + (C10H14O4) in the HRESIMS spectrum indicated that it was an isomer of 1 and 2. The 1D NMR spectrum was similar to 2 except for some tiny differences in the hydroxy-sec-butyl group, indicating 3 as the epimer of 2. The data of 2D NMR (Figure 1) further confirmed the structure of 3. The X-ray diffraction of single crystal (Cu Kα, Flack parameter: −0.1 (2)) suggested the 7S, 8S configuration (Figure 2), that is 8-epimer of 2. Germicidin N (4) was confirmed to have the molecular formula C11H16O4 (m/z 213.1118 [M + H]+), with one CH2 more than compound 2. By comparing its 13C and 1H NMR spectra with those of 2, it could be found that the methyl group in 2 was replaced by an ethyl group in 4. This change could be confirmed by the COSY correlation of H2-11/H3-12 and the HMBC correlative signals of H2-11 to C-2/C-3 (Figure 1). The X-ray diffraction of single crystal (Cu Kα, Flack parameter: 0.0 (2)) suggested the 7S, 8R configuration (Figure 2). Thus, compound 4 was identified as the derivative of 2 with 2-ethyl replacement of 2-methyl. Compounds 1−12 showed no antibacterial activity against fifteen pathogenic organisms, 11

Escherichia coli ATCC 11775, S. aureus subsp. aureus ATCC 43300, Bacillus subtilis CGMCC 1.3376, B. cereus ATCC 14579, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC10145, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Clostridium perfringens CGMCC 1.0876, V. vulnificus ATCC 27562, Candida albicans ATCC 10231, C. glabrate ATCC 2001, Edwardsiella tarda ATCC 15947, Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802, V. alginolyticus, V. splendidus, and Pseudoalteromonas nigrifaciens. And no QS inhibitory activity for these compounds was detected. In order to explore the potential of these α-pyrones, we proposed to use a simple method to increase the chemical diversity, which could provide more natural-product-like compounds for further biological activity study. In view of the structural feature of pyrones, we decided to utilize the amination to transform α-pyrones into α-pyridones, an important class of active compounds. HPLC-UV revealed that the α-pyrone analogues were mainly concentrated in fraction 4. So, this fraction was chosen to react with ammonia solution under reflux. Then the products were purified and identified as α-pyridones 14−20 (Figure 3) from their NMR and HRESIMS data (Tables 2 and 3). By comparing the specific rotation values of 18 ([α]D25 +12.2) and 20 ([α]D25 +13.0) with those of known germicidin A (5) ([α]D25 +10.6)24 and germicidin C (7) ([α]D25 +17.5),24 the absolute configurations of 18 and 20 were both confirmed. Thus, the structures of 14−20 were identified as 6-ethyl-4-hydroxy-3-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one

(14),

4-hydroxy-6-isopropyl-3-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one

4-hydroxy-3-methyl-6-propylpyridin-2(1H)-one

and
