Abstract
Two new bioactive polyhydroxyl macrolide lactones PM100117 (1) and PM100118 (2) were isolated from the culture broth of the marine-derived Streptomyces caniferus GUA-06-05-006A. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic methods, mainly one-dimensional and 2D NMR and HRESI-MS. They consist of 36-membered macrolides with a side chain containing three deoxy sugars and a 1,4-naphthoquinone chromophore. Compounds 1 and 2 displayed potent cytotoxicity against three human tumor cell lines with GI50 values in the micromolar range, as well as slight antifungal activity against Candida albicans ATCC10231. In addition, both compounds alter the plasma membrane of tumor cells, inducing loss of membrane integrity and subsequent cell permeabilization leading to a fast and dramatic necrotic cell death.

Introduction
Many macrolides with unique and diverse structures as well as various biological activities have been isolated from microorganisms. Thus, 14-, 15- and 16-membered macrolides have been discovered and found to have interesting antibiotic, antifungal and immunosuppressive properties with some being used to treat infections.1 Larger macrolides, often containing tetrahydropyran rings and sugar residues, have exhibited other interesting biological properties such as antitumor activities. Specifically, the recently described 32-membered macrolide, the novonestmycins, closely related to the notonesomycins, have shown strong antifungal and cytotoxic activity.2 Copiamycins,3 langkolide4 and brasilinolides,5 provide other examples of 32-membered macrocyclic lactones with a six-membered hemiketal ring that have shown antifungal, antibiotic and immunosuppressive activities.
A further example of an even larger macrolide is GT-35,6 which emerged as a promising drug lead for both antifungal and antitumor therapies. This compound contains a 36-membered macrocyclic lactone with a tetrahydropyran ring as well as an epoxide, two deoxy sugars and a chromophore system. The structurally related metabolites, axenomycin,7 liposidolide A8 and the polaramycins9 have also been found in Streptomyces cultures and reported as new antifungal and antibiotic macrolides.
In the course of our screening for antitumor compounds from marine cultivable bacteria, two new bioactive polyhydroxyl macrolide lactones PM100117 (1) and PM100118 (2), were isolated from the culture broth of the marine-derived Streptomyces caniferus GUA-06-05-006A. 1 and 2 display evident structural similarities to the closely related macrolide GT-35. Spectroscopic studies showed PM100117 and PM100118 to have complex structures containing a macrocyclic lactone, three deoxy sugars and a 1,4-naphthoquinone chromophore. In this paper, we report the bacteria isolation, culture, extraction, structure elucidation, physicochemical properties and biological activities of these compounds.
Results
The extract of fermented broth of Streptomyces caniferus GUA-06-05-006A was fractionated by repeated chromatography to yield compounds 1 and 2 (Figure 1). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods.
Physicochemical properties
PM100117 and PM100118 were isolated as reddish and pale yellow powders, respectively. Both compounds were readily soluble in methanol and acetonitrile and partially soluble in chloroform. The molecular formulae of 1 and 2 were established as C82H130O29 and C82H130O28 on the basis of HRESI-TOF MS spectra data (m/z 1601.8621 (M+Na)+, calcd. 1601.8590 and 1585.8746 (M+Na)+, calcd. 1585.8641), respectively. The IR spectra indicated the presence of free hydroxyls (3399 and 3396 cm-1 for 1 and 2, respectively), acetal groups (1054 and 1083 cm-1 for 1 and 2, respectively) and conjugated ester groups (1720 and 1729 cm-1 for 1 and 2, respectively). The presence of a naphthoquinone system was also indicated by the UV (λmax 249 and 345 nm) spectra (Supplementary Table S3).
Structural elucidation
The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic methods, mainly one-dimensional, 2D NMR (COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, HSQC, HMBC) in CD3OD at room temperature on a 500 MHz instrument and HRESI-MS. The 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of both compounds are shown in Table 1. The structures consist on an aglycone macrolide system, a disaccharide moiety and a naphthoquinone unit with an appended deoxy-sugar as shown in Figure 1.
The 13C NMR spectrum (Table 1) of the major compound PM100118 showed 82 signals assigned to 12 methyl, 21 methylene, 38 methyne and 11 quaternary carbons by HSQC experiments. The COSY spectrum revealed connectivities from H-2 to H-15 and from H-18 to H-43 with these two isolated spin systems being connected through C-17 via a six-membered hemiketal ring as shown by a cross peak observed between H-18 with C-16 in the HMBC spectrum. In addition, a long-distance correlation between H-35 and C-1 identified the precise linkage of the 36-membered macrolide ring system, establishing the ring closure across the lactone moiety.
Most of these signals were very similar to those reported for GT-35 (ref. 6) and the structure of the PM100118 aglycone backbone was further confirmed by HMBC correlations (Figure 2).
The geometries of the two double bonds of the macrolide moiety were both shown to be E by the large coupling constants of J2–3=15.8 Hz and J32–33=15.5 Hz, respectively, whereas the absolute configuration of the aglycone chiral centers remains to be determined. Additional support for this structure was provided by the presence of an ESI-MS fragment ion at m/z 917 originating from cleavage of the aglycone moiety.
In addition, the presence of the three deoxy sugars A, B and C was evidenced by signals at 4.96, 4.97 and 5.03 p.p.m. in the 1H NMR and by signals at 96.4, 101.0 and 101.2 p.p.m. in the 13C NMR spectrum corresponding to the anomeric protons and carbons, respectively. The relative stereochemistry of these sugars was deduced from ROESY correlations and 1H–1H coupling constants as shown in Figure 2.
The sugar sequence of the 2,6-dideoxy-3-C-methyl-xylohexopyranoside A was constructed by 1H spin networks from the anomeric proton H-1′ to H-2′ and from H-4′ to methyl H-6′, and HMBCs from methyl H-7′ to C-3′, C-4′ and C-2′. The long-range H–C coupling of the anomeric proton H-1′ with C-41 in the HMBC experiment along with the small J1′–2′ values suggested an α-linkage between sugar A and C-41 of the side chain aglycone. Small vicinal proton coupling constants between H-4′ and H-5′ (Table 2) along with a cross peak between H-5′ and H-41 and likewise between H-4′ and Me-7′ but not with H-2′ax in the ROESY spectrum supported the axial H-5′-equatorial H-4′configuration. Furthermore, ROEs between Me-6′ and H-1′′ and between Me-7′ and H-5′′ but not with H-5′, corroborated an equatorial position for both Me-6 and Me-7 and established this sugar as α-axenose.
The sugar sequence of the 2,3,6-trideoxy-hexoses B and C was constructed by 1H spin networks from the anomeric proton H-1′′ (H-1′′′) to methyl H-6′′ (H-6′′′). Both of these sugars were determined to be α-rhodinoses, as a result of the 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts and by analyzing the coupling constants between H-4′′ (H-4′′′) and H-5′′ (H-5′′′). These constants were very small (J4′′–5′′=1.4 Hz and J4′′′–5′′′=1.1 Hz, respectively) which discarded a diaxial orientation for these protons. In addition, the presence of a cross peak between H-5′′ (H-5′′′) and one of the H-3′′ (H-3′′′) and Me-7′ in the ROESY spectrum showed that H-5′′ (H-5′′′) was in an axial position, thereby establishing an equatorial configuration for H-4′′ (H-4′′′). Finally, the small coupling constant values (J~2 Hz) for the anomeric protons suggested an equatorial position for these protons and therefore α-glycoside bonds. α-Rhodinose is a constituent of several classes of natural products such as lactonamycin,10 and cirramycin F-1.11 Extensive similarities were found when comparing the chemical shifts and coupling constants of the B and C moieties with the values reported for the aforementioned α-rhodinose containing antibiotics.10, 11
The long-range H–C coupling of the anomeric proton H-1′′ with C-4′ in the HMBC experiment suggested that sugar B was linked to the axenose unit through C-4′. In addition, long-distance correlations between H-4′′ and quaternary C-49 linked rhodinose B to the side portion containing a 1,4-naphthoquinone chromophore.
Part of the nature of the side portion attached to C-4′′ was deduced from detailed analysis of the 1H–1H COSY experiment revealing the connectivities from methyl H-62 to H-51, from H-60 to H-61 and, as mentioned above, from H-1′′′ to methyl H-6′′′. The remaining protons and carbons were assigned by HMBC and ROESY experiments. Long-range coupling from H-51 to the ester carbonyl group C-49, methyl C-62, C-53 and C-61 and, in turn, from H-53 and H-60 to quinone C-55 and C-58, respectively, along with correlations between H-56 with methyl C-63 and C-54 indicated the presence of the ester of a 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone derivative in the structure of 2.
Finally, the connection of the remaining sugar moiety C was deduced from the HMBC correlation between the methyne H-51 of the side portion and the anomeric C-1′′′ of the rhodomycin C completing the structure of PM100118. These results were also consistent with an ESI-MS fragment ion observed at m/z 371 and originating from loss of the side unit (ester cleavage) of the molecule.
Comparison of the spectroscopic data of 1 with that of 2 showed extensive similarities and the presence of the same aglycone and equivalent side portions in both substances.
The only notable differences were associated with sugar B. Specifically the 3′′ position in compound 1 was shifted to lower field both in 1H (from δ: 2.15/1.75 to 3.84 p.p.m.) and 13C (from δ: 23.9 to 66.6 p.p.m.) NMR spectra, while integration of this signal revealed the presence of an oxymethyne instead of a methylene unit as in 2. These observations confirmed compound 1 to be the hydroxylated analog of 2 at sugar B, consistent with the molecular formula and the presence of a single extra oxygen atom.
The sugar moiety B of PM100117 (1) was determined to be 2-deoxy-α-fucopyranose and the same as in the related structure brasilinolide,12 based on the 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts and by analyzing the coupling constants of H-3′′ with H-4′′ and H-5′′. The observation of small coupling constants of H-3′′ with H-4′′ (J3′′–4′′=4.5 Hz) and with H-5′′ (J4′′–5′′=2.4 Hz) and the observation of a cross peak between the H-3′′ and H-5′′ in the ROESY spectrum support the axial H-3′′- equatorial H-4′′-axial H-5′′ configurations. The small coupling constant values (J=4.4 and 4.4 Hz observed in 1H NMR in CD3CN) for the anomeric proton suggested an equatorial position and hence an α-glycoside bond.
NMR spectroscopy was also used to determine the relative stereochemistry of the aglycone macrolide system of these compounds. Kobayashi et al.13, 14 reported an approach for stereochemical assignment of polyketides based on universal NMR databases. They showed that stereoelectronic interactions between the structural motifs connected with CH2 bridges are significant for stereochemical assignment. Specifically, they reported that 1,3,5-trisubstituted acyclic compounds show a characteristic chemical shift that is dependent on the 1,3- and 3,5-relative configuration, but is independent of the functionalities present outside this structural motif. On this basis, the relative configuration of the C-37–C-39 position was presumed the syn/syn configuration, deduced by the significant upfield C-47 chemical shift (δ 5.0).4
To further confirm this assumption, we have determined the minimum 13C NMR Δδ value (Δδ=δM−δKa-h) between the δM of the adjusted carbons of a representative fragment of 1 and the eight possible model stereoisomers δKa-h previously reported by Kishi,15 (Supplementary Figure S22 and Supplementary Tables S4 and S5 of the Supplementary Material). Application of this statistical approach to the C-37–C-40 tetrad, in which the contribution to the ∑|Δδ| of the sterocentres that support γ and δ effects, induced by external substituents on the tetrad, were alternatively or simultaneously discounted, revealed a preferential syn/syn/anti configuration for these centers. The same statistical approach applied to the C-36–C-39 tetrad (Supplementary Figure S22 and Supplementary Tables S6 and S7 of the Supplementary Material), also indicated an anti/syn/syn configuration for these centers (shown as syn/syn/anti in Supplementary Table S7 due to the carbon numbering referring to the positions in Kishi′s diasteroisomer).
As the pentad C-36–C-40 can be considered as the superposition of the two tetrad units (C-36–C-39 and C-37–C-40), the complete anti/syn/syn/anti stereochemistry of this pentad was fully deduced. The tetrads containing C-35 and C-41 were not considered as these carbons lack free hydroxy functions. The remaining stereogenic centers of the C-34–C-41 stereocluster were assigned using ROESY NMR experiments. As proof of the suggested configuration from the Kishi NMR data set, ROESY correlations between H-36 and H-45/H-47, H-37 and H-38/H-39, H-38 and H-46/H-48 unambiguously established the anti/syn/syn/anti stereochemistry cited above. In addition, further ROESY correlations between H-34 and H-46, H-35 and H-36/H-45 and H-40 and H-47/H-41, along with the large value of the coupling constants J34–35=9.6 Hz and J36–37=9.5 Hz yielded the relative configuration of C-34–C-41, following the same reasoning as used for elucidation of the novonestmycins2 (Figure 3).
Kishi′s data sets were also used for the stereochemical assignment of the 1,3,5-triol structural motif (C-23–C-27). In this regard, the 13C NMR chemical shift of the central C-25 (δ 68.3) atom of the C-23–C-27 portion matched either a syn/anti or anti/syn configuration,4, 16, 17 but the 13C NMR chemical shift of the C-23 (δ 65.5) atom only matched an anti/syn configuration (Supplementary Figure S23 of the Supplementary Material). In addition, observation of a ROE correlation between H-25 and H-27 but not with H-23 confirmed the relative anti/syn configuration of the structural motif C-23–C-27.
The relative stereochemistry of the tetrahydropyran ring was deduced from ROESY correlations and the small coupling constant observed between Heq-18 and H-19 as shown in Figure 3. Furthermore, ROE correlations between H-21 and H-19/H-23 and between H-15 with Hax-18 established the relative configuration of the C-17–C-27 fragment.
A small coupling constant between H-15 and H-14 (J14–15=2.7 Hz) along with the ROE correlation between H-15 and Hax-18 suggested a syn configuration between C-14 and C-15 centers, but the absence of a cross peak between Hax-18 and H-14 in the ROE experiment (as described for novonestmycin)2 failed to provide sufficient evidence to determine the relative stereochemistry of C-14–C-15 unit.
Finally, a large coupling constant between H-50 and H-51 (J50–51=10 Hz) along with the observation of ROE correlations between H-62 and H-51/H-53/H-61 but not with any protons of the rhodinose sugar (Figure 4) established the relative configuration of the stereocluster C-50–C-51. The coupling constants and ROE correlations for compound 2 are entirely consistent with this compound having the same stereochemistry as compound 1. Nevertheless, the relative stereochemistry of the stereocluster C-5–C-7 remains undefined owing to insufficient quantity of the compounds to attempt degradation or derivatization assays.
In conclusion, we have determined the structures of 1 and 2 as shown in Figure 1, establishing the relative configuration of three stereocluster portions, but with the absolute stereochemistry of these compounds remaining to be determined.
Biological activity
Both PM100117 (1) and PM100118 (2) have shown potent antitumor activity and slight antifungal activity against Candida albicans ATCC10231.
To determine the cytotoxic activities of compounds 1 and 2, A549 human lung carcinoma cells, MDA-MB-231 human breast adenocarcinoma cells and HT29 human colorectal carcinoma cells were tested. Concentration of 50% inhibition on cell growth (GI50) was calculated according to the procedure described in the literature.18 Cell survival was estimated using the National Cancer Institute algorithm.19 Three dose-response parameters were calculated for each compound. The cell proliferation assay showed strong cytotoxic activities of 1 and 2 with a GI50 values in the range 0.7–9.2 μm (Table 2). Both compounds alter the plasma membrane of tumor cells, inducing loss of membrane integrity and subsequent cell permeabilization, giving rise to a fast and dramatic necrotic cell death.
Discussion
Our investigation on the metabolites from marine cultivable Streptomyces caniferus GUA-06-05-006A has resulted in the isolation of two new cytotoxic polyhydroxyl macrolide lactones PM100117 (1) and PM100118 (2). By a combination of spectroscopic methods, mainly NMR experiments, we were able to elucidate the planar structures of the aglycone and also the relative stereochemistry for the sugars of the side chain. These two compounds belong to 36-membered macrocyclic analogs, also found in Streptomyces, which have shown interesting biological properties such as fungicidal, agricultural bactericide, immunosuppressant as well as antitumor activities. Different grades of activity of these compounds could be attributed to the presence of diverse sugar units on the side chain of these macrolides. This assumption encourages us to further study the manipulation of the gene cluster responsible for 1 and 2 that would lead to modifications of the glycosylation pattern.
Methods
General experimental procedures
Optical rotations were determined using a Jasco P-1020 polarimeter. UV spectra were obtained with an Agilent 8453. (+)-HRESI-MS was performed on an Agilent 6230 time of flight LC/MS. NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian ‘Unity 500′ spectrometer at 500/125 MHz (1H/13C). Chemical shifts were reported in p.p.m. using residual CD3OD (δ 3.31 for 1H and 49.0 for 13C) as internal reference. HMBC experiments were optimized for a 3JCH of 8 Hz. ROESY spectra were measured with a mixing time of 350 ms. The structures of 1 and 2 were established by 1H and 13C NMR and 2D NMR experiments (COSY, HMQC, HMBC).
Bacterial strain
The microbial producer Streptomyces caniferus GUA-06-05-006A was isolated by spreading the homogenized marine polychaete, Filograna sp. collected near Guadalupe Island in the Pacific Ocean, on plates of Bennett′s agar medium20 supplemented with nalidixic acid (0.02%) and cycloheximide (0.02%). The plates were incubated at 28 °C for 30 days.
Phylogenetic analysis of the strain based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons with a database21, 22 of EZ Taxon cultured microorganisms, showed a 99.92% match with Streptomyces caniferus NBRC 15389(T) (1244/1245 base pairs).
Fermentation processes
The seed culture was developed in two scale-up steps, first in 100 ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 20 ml of seed medium and then in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks with 50 ml of the same medium. The seed culture was grown on a medium containing dextrose (0.1%), soluble starch (2.4%), soy peptone (0.3%), yeast extract (0.5%), tryptone (0.5%), soya flour (0.5%), sodium chloride (0.54%), potassium chloride (0.02%), magnesium chloride (0.24%), sodium sulfate (0.75%) and calcium carbonate (0.4%) in tap water. The first seed culture was inoculated with 200 μl of the frozen strain and the second seed culture with 10% from the previous step. Seed cultures were grown at 28 °C using orbital shakers for 72 h. For production, 12.5 ml of the seed medium was transferred into 2 l Erlenmeyer flasks containing 250 ml of fermentation medium containing yeast extract (0.5%), soya peptone (0.1%), dextrose (0.5%), soya flour (0.3%), Glucidex (Roquette, France) (2%), sodium chloride (0.53%), potassium chloride (0.02%), magnesium chloride 6.H2O (0.24%), sodium sulfate (0.75%), manganese sulfate 4.H2O (0.00076%), cobalt chloride 6.H2O (0.0001%), di-potassium phosphate (0.05%) and calcium carbonate (0.4%). The culture was grown at 28 °C using an orbital shaker (5 cm eccentricity, 220 r.p.m.) for 5 days. Sterility control plates of fermentation were done on 172B modified agar medium.23
Extraction and bioassay guided isolation
The fermentation broth (5 l) was subjected to centrifugation, and the mycelial cake extracted with 1.62 l of 2-PrOH–EtOAc 2:3 (in volume). The solvent was concentrated to give a crude extract (4.05 g) that was further subjected to VLC on LiChroprep RP-18 with a stepped gradient from H2O to MeOH and CH2Cl2. Compounds eluting in active fractions (H2O–MeOH 2:8, 659 mg) were separated using semi-preparative HPLC (C-18 Sunfire column, 10 × 150 mm, 5 μm, gradient H2O/CH3CN from 78 to 81% in 15 min, flow rate 3.5 ml min−1, UV detection at 215 nm). Under these conditions, fractions eluting at 8.5 and 12 min yielded PM100117 (3.6 mg) and PM100118 (14.7 mg), respectively.
Assay of anti-proliferative activity
A549 (ATCC CCL-185), lung carcinoma; HT29 (ATCC HTB-38), colorectal carcinoma and MDA-MB-231 (ATCC HTB-26), breast adenocarcinoma cell lines were obtained from the ATCC. Cell lines were maintained in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), 2 mm l-glutamine and 100 U ml−1 penicillin and streptomycin, at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Triplicate cultures were incubated for 72 h in the presence or absence of test compounds (at 10 concentrations ranging from 10 to 0.0026 μg ml−1). For quantitative estimation of cytotoxicity, the colorimetric sulforhodamine B (SRB) method was used.24 Briefly, the cells were washed twice with PBS, fixed for 15 min in 1% glutaraldehyde solution, rinsed twice in PBS, and stained in 0.4% SRB solution for 30 min at room temperature. Cells were then rinsed several times with 1% acetic acid solution and air-dried. Sulforhodamine B was then extracted in 10 mm trizma base solution and the absorbance measured at 490 nm.
Using the mean±s.d. of triplicate cultures, a dose-response curve was automatically generated using nonlinear regression analysis. Three reference parameters were calculated (National Cancer Institute algorithm) by automatic interpolation: GI50= compound concentration that produces 50% cell growth inhibition, as compared with control cultures; TGI= total cell growth inhibition (cytostatic effect), as compared with control cultures and LC50= compound concentration that produces 50% net cell killing (cytotoxic effect).
Assay of primary mechanism of action
A549 lung cancer and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were exposed for 24 h to a 10 μm concentration of 1 and 2, respectively. Representative phase contrast images of the experiment (Supplementary Figure S21 included in the Supplementary Information) with both 1 and 2 showed necrotic death with the features of plasma membrane permeabilization, including the formation of giant blebs.
