Abstract:
Three new phenazine-type compounds, named phenazines SA-SC (
1-3 ), together with four new natural products (
4-7 ), were isolated from the fermentation broth of an earwig-associated
Streptomyces sp. NA04227. The structures of these compounds were determined by extensive analyses of NMR, high resolution mass spectroscopic data, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurement. Sequencing and analysis of the genome data allowed us to identify the gene cluster (
spz) and propose a biosynthetic pathway for these phenazine-type compounds. Additionally, compounds
1-5 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and compound
3 showed antimicrobial activities against
Micrococcus luteus.
