Abstract
A bisprenyl naphthoquinone, phytohabinone (1), and a calcimycin congener with unusual modifications, phytohabimicin (2), were isolated from the culture extract of Phytohabitans sp. RD003013. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by NMR and MS analyses, and the absolute configuration of 2 was established by using electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. The prenylation pattern of 1 was unprecedented among the known prenylated naphthoquinones. Compound 2 represents a spiroacetal core of polyketide origin substituted with a thiazole carboxylic acid and a dichrolopyrrole moiety, which is an unprecedented modification pattern in the known calcimycin family natural products. Remarkably, 2 showed moderate antimicrobial activity against a Gram-negative bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum while calcimycin was inactive. Additionally, 2 inhibits the migration of EC17 cancer cells at noncytotoxic concentrations.
