     View Summary

    Two novel antimalarials, named ufisonitriles A (1) and B (2), were isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation on mitochondrial function inhibitory activity using multidrug-sensitive budding yeast from the cultured broth of the Okinawan rare actinomycete Amycolatopsis sp. OK19-0009 strain. Their structures were comprehensively elucidated using HR-ESI-MS and 1D/2D NMR analyses and the modified Mosher's method. Structurally, 1 and 2 possess a novel skeleton with an isocyano group. In vitro antimalarial evaluation against Plasmodium falciparum strains revealed that 1 and 2 exhibited moderate activity with IC50 values ranging from 28.6 to 1.12 μM. Furthermore, 1 and 2 reduced the malaria parasites by approximately 45% in vivo on intraperitoneal administration (30 mg/kg/day for 4 days) with no observed toxicity. We also provide a plausible biosynthesis pathway based on the genome sequence analysis.

     View Summary

    Our experiments aim to find marine natural products that inhibit byssus thread formation in mussels. Three new labdane-type brominated diterpenes, yoshioaplysins A-C (1-3), were isolated from the marine red alga Laurencia sp. collected from Yoshio (Katsuura, Chiba Prefecture, Japan). Their structures were established using IR, NMR, high-resolution MS, and chemical synthesis. An enantiodivergent phenomenon was observed between compounds 1-3 and aplysin-20 (7) / aplysin-20 aldehyde (8) previously isolated from L. venusta collected from the same location. Moreover, compounds 1-3 showed a remarkable antifouling activity against the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis at concentrations as low as 0.16 μmol/cm2. We believe that these new brominated diterpenes can be used as natural antifouling drugs.

     View Summary

    From the results of screening of own chemical library (including about 200 samples) using both YUCCA enzyme inhibition test (in vitro) and plant growth test with Arabidopsis seeds (in vivo), it was found that several extracts from the red algal genus Laurencia and sea hares, together with 2-APB known as a TRP channel inhibitor, exhibited strong inhibitory effects. Bioassay-guided fractionation of these active extracts resulted in the isolation of three halogenated laurane-type sesquiterpenes with different chemical structures from known YUCCA inhibitors. Among these active compounds, laurinterol and 2-APB showed stronger inhibitory activity than known inhibitors in the plant growth inhibition assay.
