Dimeric Pyranonaphthoquinone Glycosides with Anti-HIV and Cytotoxic Activities from a Soil-Derived Streptomyces

Abstract

Eight new sulfur-bridged pyranonaphthoquinone (PNQ) dimers, naquihexcins C-J (1-8), a new PNQ monomer, naquihexcin K (10), and three known analogues (9, 11, and 12) were isolated from Streptomyces sp. KIB3133. The new structures were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data. Dimer 4 was synthesized via a cascade SN2 reactions between two monomers and sodium sulfide, an approach motivated by the proposed biosynthetic pathway of dimeric pyranonaphthoquinones. Naquihexcin E (3) exhibited moderate HIV-1 inhibitory activity. Naquihexcins C (1), E (3), and I (7) showed inhibitory effects against two tumor cell lines (HL-60 and MCF-7) with IC50 values ranging from 1.4 to 16.1 μM.
