Marinoquinoline A (1) was isolated from the gliding bacterium Ohtaekwangia kribbensis together with the novel marinoquinolines B-F (2-6). Their structures were elucidated from NMR and HRESIMS data. The pyrroloquinolines showed weak antibacterial and antifungal activities and moderate cytotoxicity against four growing mammalian cell lines with IC(50) values ranging from 0.3 to 8.0 μg/mL. In a screening against tropical parasites marinoquinolines A-F (1-6) showed activity against Plasmodium falciparum K1 with IC(50) values between 1.7 and 15 μM.

Seven new polyketides, for which the trivial names hyafurones A1-B (1-3), hyapyrrolines A (4) and B (5), and hyapyrones A (6) and B (7) are proposed, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the myxobacteria Hyalangium minutum, strains NOCB-2(T) and Hym-3. Their structures were elucidated from NMR and HRESIMS data, and their geometric configuration was assigned based on NOE and vicinal (1)H coupling data. Both hyafurone B (3) and hyapyrone B (7) inhibited growth of the Gram-positive bacterium Nocardia flava, while 7 showed antifungal activity against Mucor hiemalis.
