Isolation of 2-Alkyl-4-quinolones with Unusual Side Chains from a Chinese Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolate

J Nat Prod. 2020 Jul 24;83(7):2294-2298. doi: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.0c00026. Epub 2020 Jun 30.

Abstract

Chemical investigation of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from Hebei, China, led to the isolation of a suite of quinolones, quinolone-N-oxides, and phenazines, the structures of which were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis. Most notable among the secondary metabolites isolated was an unprecedented 4-quinolone containing an S-methyl group in the side chain and a new derivative including a phenyl ring in the side chain, which expand significantly the variety of structural motifs found in the quinolones and raise interesting questions about their biosynthesis.
