Abstract
New three macrocyclic diolides, named bispolides C-E (1–3), were isolated from a fermentation broth of the actinomycete strain MG372-hF19, which produces an indole glycoside and leptomycins as we reported previously. The absolute structures of compounds 1–3 were elucidated by NMR and X-ray crystallography. Compounds 1–3 diverge from the known nine bispolides in their different alkylation patterns on the 20-membered macrocyclic diolide skeleton and the side chain in their planar structures. Furthermore, compounds 1–3 exhibited antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci and cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 3 has the most potent biological activities against bacteria and tumor cells. Additionally, using a membrane-potential-sensitive fluorescence probe, we found that compounds 1–3 and elaiophylin have a similar effect on membrane potential in A549 human lung cancer cells.
