Abstract

The mangrove-sediment-derived actinomycete strain Streptomyces psammoticus SCSIO NS126 was found to have productive piericidin metabolites featuring anti-renal cell carcinoma activities. In this study, in order to explore more diverse piericidin derivatives, and therefore to discover superior anti-tumor lead compounds, the NS126 strain was further fermented at a 300-L scale under optimized fermentation conditions. As a result, eight new minor piericidin derivatives (piericidins L-R (1–7) and 11-demethyl-glucopiericidin A (8)) were obtained, along with glucopiericidin B (9). The new structures including absolute configurations were determined by spectroscopic methods coupled with experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism. We also proposed plausible biosynthetic pathways for these unusual post-modified piericidins. Compounds 1 and 6 showed selective cytotoxic activities against OS-RC-2 cells, and 2–5 exhibited potent cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells, with IC50 values lower than 0.1 μM. The new piericidin glycoside 8 was cytotoxic against ACHN, HL-60 and K562, with IC50 values of 2.3, 1.3 and 5.5 μM, respectively. The ability to arrest the cell cycle and cell apoptosis effects induced by 1 and 6 in OS-RC-2 cells, 2 in HL-60 cells, and 8 in ACHN cells were then further investigated. This study enriched the structural diversity of piericidin derivatives and confirmed that piericidins deserve further investigations as promising anti-tumor agents.
