Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Undescribed Polyether Ionophores From Streptomyces Cacaoi and Their Antibacterial and Antiproliferative Activities(Elsevier, 2022) Gezer, Emre; Üner, Göklem; Küçüksolak, Melis; Kurt, Mustafa Ünver; Doğan, Gamze; Ballar Kırmızıbayrak, Petek; Bedir, ErdalPolyether ionophores represent a large group of naturally occurring compounds mainly produced by Streptomyces species. With previously proven varieties of bioactivity including antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiviral and anti-tumor effects, the discovery of undescribed polyethers leading to development of efficient therapeutics has become important. As part of our research on polyether-rich Streptomyces cacaoi, we previously performed modification studies on fermentation conditions to induce synthesis of specialized metabolites. Here, we report four undescribed and nine known polyether compounds from S. cacaoi grown in optimized conditions. Antimicrobial activity assays revealed that four compounds, including the undescribed (6), showed strong inhibitory effects over both Bacillus subtilis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) growth. Additionally, K41-A and its C15-demethoxy derivative exhibited significant cytotoxicity. These results signified that selectivity of C15-demethoxy K41-A towards cancer cells was higher than K41-A, which prompted us to conduct mechanistic experiments. These studies showed that this uninvestigated compound acts as a multitarget compound by inhibiting autophagic flux, inducing reactive oxygen species formation, abolishing proteasome activity, and stimulating ER stress. Consequently, the optimized fermentation conditions of S. cacaoi led to the isolation of undescribed and known polyethers displaying promising activities.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Five New Cardenolides Transformed From Oleandrin and Nerigoside by Alternaria Eureka 1e1bl1 and Phaeosphaeriasp. 1e4cs-1 and Their Cytotoxic Activities(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Karakoyun, Çiğdem; Küçüksolak, Melis; Bilgi, Eyüp; Doğan, Gamze; Çömlekçi, Yiğit Ege; Bedir, ErdalBiotransformation of oleandrin (1) and nerigoside (2) by endophytic fungi; Alternaria eureka 1E1BL1 and Phaeospheria sp. 1E4CS-1, has led to the isolation of five new metabolites (3, 5, 6, 7 and 8) together with a known compound (4). The structures of the biotransformation products were elucidated by 1D-, 2D NMR and HR-MS. Phaeospheria sp. mainly provided monooxygenation reactions on the A and B rings, whereas A. eureka afforded both monooxygenated and desacetylated derivatives of the substrates. Cytotoxic activity of the compounds was tested against a non-cancerous (HEK-293) and four cancer (PANC-1, MIA PaCa-2, DU 145 and A549) cell lines by MTT cell viability assay. All compounds were less cytotoxic than oleandrin, which had IC50 values ranging between 2.7 and 41.9 nM. Two of the monohydroxylated metabolites, viz. 7(?)-hydroxy oleandrin (3) and 1(?)-hydroxy oleandrin (7), were also potent with IC50 values from 18.45 to 39.0 nM, while desacetylated + monohydroxylated, or dihydroxylated products had much lower cytotoxicity. Additionally, the lesser activity of 2 and its metabolite (6) possessing diginose as sugar residue inferred that oleandrose moiety is important for the toxicity of oleandrin as well as hydrophobicity of the steroid core. © 2020 Phytochemical Society of Europe
