Abstract
Four new 5-hydroxyanthranilic acid related compounds, named anthocidins A⁻D (1⁻4), two known analogues n-lauryl 5-hydroxyanthranilate (5) and isolauryl 5-hydroxyanthranilate (6), together with benzamide (7), 3-hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamamide (8), and (3S-cis)-hexahydro-3-[(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methyl]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione (9), were isolated from the fermentation broth of the marine-derived actinomycete, Streptomyces sp. HDa1, which was isolated from the gut of a sea urchin, Anthocidaris crassispina, collected from Hainan Island, China. The structures of these secondary metabolites were elucidated on the basis of their 1D and 2D-NMR and mass spectroscopic data, and anthocidin A was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction with Cu Kα radiation. Anthocidins A⁻D (1⁻4) feature an acetyl group substitution at the amino group and varying alkyl side chains at the carboxyl group of 5-hydroxyanthranilic acid, and compound 5 was isolated as a natural product for the first time. The cytotoxic and antibacterial activity of compounds 1⁻9 were evaluated.
