Article Abstract

A new cyclic depsipeptide, rakicidin F (1), along with the known compound rakicidin C (2), was isolated from the fermentation broth of the marine sponge-derived actinomycete strain Streptomyces sp. GKU 220. Their structures were elucidated by interpreting the HRFABMS and NMR spectroscopic data. Rakicidin F (1) showed growth inhibitory activity against bacteria.The Journal of Antibiotics advance online publication, 2 August 2017; doi:10.1038/ja.2017.92.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are epigenetic regulators frequently altered in cancer. Here we report that overexpression of HDAC1/2 occurs in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) patients, correlating with poor prognosis. We show that romidepsin, a class-I HDAC inhibitor, elicits a combinatorial perturbation of distinct molecular processes in HCC cells, altering lipid composition, mitotic spindle machinery, and levels of cell cycle/survival signals.

Verlamelin A is a naturally occurring macrocyclic depsipeptide exhibiting high and broad-spectrum antifungal activity. The first unified total synthesis of verlamelin A and its (5)-verlamelin A (C5-epimer) is reported. This strategy involved homogeneous solution-phase synthesis of Fmoc-l-Val-O-(5/5)-tetradecanoic acid, solid-phase peptide synthesis of pentapeptide NH-d-allo-Thr-d-Ala-l-Pro-l-Gln-d-Tyr-OH, on-resin coupling of these two fragments to form a linear precursor , and off-resin cyclization followed by global deprotection to generate the final verlamelin A and (5)-verlamelin A in 6.
