Abstract
Isatropolones/isarubrolones are Streptomyces secondary metabolites featuring a tropolone ring in the pentacyclic scaffolds of these molecules. They are able to induce complete autophagy in human HepG2 cells. Here, methyl isatropolones (1–2) and isarubrolone (3) are identified from Streptomyces CPCC 204095. They all have a methyl tropolone ring in the pentacyclic scaffold of these molecules resolved by MS and NMR spectra. Biological activity assay indicates that isatropolone Cm (1) and isarubrolone Cm (3) induce incomplete autophagy in human HepG2 cells.
