Targeted Discovery of an Enediyne-Derived Cycloaromatized Compound, Jejucarboside A, from a Marine Actinomycete

Org Lett. 2022 Oct 7;24(39):7188-7193. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.2c02934. Epub 2022 Sep 27.

Abstract

A genomic and spectroscopic signature-based search revealed a cycloaromatized enediyne, jejucarboside A (1), from a marine actinomycete strain. The structure of 1 was determined as a new cyclopenta[a]indene glycoside bearing carbonate functionality by nuclear magnetic resonance, high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS), MS/MS, infrared spectroscopy, and a modified Mosher's method. An iterative enediyne synthase pathway has been proposed for the putative biosynthesis of 1 by genomic analysis. Jejucarboside A exhibited cytotoxicity against the HCT116 colon carcinoma cells.
