Abstract

In an effort to activate silent biosynthetic gene clusters, <i>Streptomyces samsunensis</i> DSM42010, a producer of geldanamycin, was cultured at four different pHs (4.5, 5.4, 6.6, and 7.4). An acidic culture condition (pH 5.4) was selected for a chemical investigation since <i>S. samsunensis</i> showed a different metabolic profile compared to when it was cultured under other conditions. Seven new (<b>1</b>-<b>7</b>) and four known (<b>8</b>-<b>11</b>) compounds were isolated from these cultures. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by spectroscopic techniques and chemical derivatization. Relative and absolute configurations of the new compounds (<b>1</b>-<b>5</b>) were established using <i>J</i>BCA, PGME method, advanced Marfey's method, modified Mosher's method, and comparison of observed and calculated ECD data. Interestingly, compounds <b>1</b>-<b>3</b> were truncated versions of geldanamycin, and compound <b>4</b> was also deduced to originate from geldanamycin. Compound <b>5</b> was composed of 3-methyltyrosine and 6-hydroxy-2,4-hexadienoic acid connected through an amide bond. Compounds <b>6</b> and <b>7</b> were dihydrogenated forms of geldanamycin with a hydroxy substitution. It is possible that culturing this strain under acidic conditions interfered to some degree with the geldanamycin polyketide synthase, leading to production of truncated versions as well as analogues of geldanamycin. Compounds <b>1</b>, <b>8</b>, and <b>9</b> showed significant antivirulence activity, inhibiting production of α-toxin by methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> without growth attenuation and global regulatory inhibition; compounds <b>1</b>, <b>8</b>, and <b>9</b> may become promising α-toxin-specific antivirulence leads with less risk of resistance development.
