Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During a high-throughput screening for identifying cell membrane modulators, eight novel 5-alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (5aTHQs) bearing different side chains have been isolated from a combined-culture of Streptomyces sp. HEK616 and Tsukamurella pulmonis TP-B0596. The chemical structures including the absolute configuration were determined by spectroscopic analysis and total synthesis. Moreover, stable isotopic feeding experiments with sodium [1-13C]-acetate and [1,2-13C]-acetate in the combined-culture revealed that 5aTHQs is biosynthesized via a polyketide pathway. In addition, there novel streptoaminals were identified by an extensive mass spectrometry analysis against the combined-culture broth. These results suggest that the microbial combined-culture has a big potential for a range of chemical scaffolds.
