Article Abstract
We identified a new cyclic lipodepsipeptide, cystargamide B (1), from the mycelial extract of a Kaempferia galanga rhizome-derived actinomycete strain, Streptomyces sp. PB013. The planar structure was elucidated based on high resolution fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry (HRFABMS) spectroscopy and one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations of the constituent amino acids were determined using advanced Marfey's method. Cystargamide B (1) includes rare structural units: a 5-hydroxytryptophan residue and a 2,3-epoxy fatty acid side chain. Notably, cystargamide B (1) inhibited the protease activity of the NS2B/NS3 complex from dengue virus.

Bioactivity-guided isolation led to the identification of the cyclic lipodepsipeptide pleosporacin (1) from the mycelia extract of fungal strain Pleosporales sp. IBWF 020-21, a potent selective inhibitor of the fungal phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea. The structure and stereochemistry of 1 were elucidated by NMR and Marfey analysis, respectively.

is an environmental bacterium that can cause severe and fatal opportunistic infections in humans and animals. Although is characterized by its strong β-hemolytic activity, the molecular basis of this phenotype has remained elusive over the more than 15 years since the species was first described. Herein, we report a family of cyclic lipodepsipeptides, the jagaricins, that are responsible for the potent hemolytic activity of .

Daptomycin is a cyclic lipodepsipeptide antibiotic that is a mainstay for the treatment of serious infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Streptococcus aureus and vancomycin resistant enterococci. It is one of the so-called last-resort antibiotics that are used to tackle life-threatening infections that do not respond to first-line treatments. However, resistance to daptomycin is eroding its clinical efficacy motivating the design and/or discovery of analogues that overcome resistance.

The total synthesis of -derived cyclic lipodepsipeptide anikasin was achieved. Using a depsipeptide building block and balanced protecting groups on the branching d--Thr residue, the synthesis was established semiautomatically on a synthesizer. Buffered deprotections minimized side reactions and afforded synthetic anikasin and its enantiomer.

Menominin A () and B (), two cyclodepsipeptides containing a 3,8-dihydroxy-2-methyltetradecanoic acid residue, were isolated from the freshwater sponge-associated cyanobacterium, sp. UIC 10607, using bioactivity-guided and spectroscopic approaches. The planar structures of and were established using HRESIMS and one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments.
