Antibacterial p-terphenyl and α‑pyrone derivates isolated from the marine-derived actinomycete Nocardiopsis sp. HDN154086

Abstract

Assisted by OSMAC strategy, one new p-terphenyl and two new α‑pyrone derivates, namely nocarterphenyl I (1) and nocardiopyrone D–E (23), were obtained and characterized from the marine sediment-derived actinomycete Nocardiopsis sp. HDN154086. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of MS, NMR spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 with a rare 2,2’-bithiazole structure among natural products showed promising activity against five bacteria with MIC values ranging from 0.8 to 1.6 μM and 3 exhibited notable antibacterial activity against MRSA compared the positive control ciprofloxacin.
