A new alkaloid AM-2282 of Streptomyces origin taxonomy, fermentation, isolation and preliminary characterization.

Abstract

AM-2282, a new alkaloid has been isolated from cultures of Streptomyces sp. AM-2282 by solvent extraction and silica gel chromatography. The compound exhibits a strong absorption maximum at 292 nm and shows antimicrobial activity against fungi and yeast. The LD50 of its hydrochloride (i.p. in mice) is 6.6 mg/kg. The molecular formula of AM-2282 has been determined as C28H26N4O3. The producing strain, AM-2282 was classified as a new species and the name, Streptomyces staurosporeus AWAYA, TAKAHASHI and OMURA, nov. sp. is proposed. We have previously reported on the isolation of new alkaloids such as pyrindicin1), NA-337A2), THE JOURNAL OF ANTIBIOTICS APR.

Staurosporine, a Novel Protein Kinase C Inhibitor, Prevents Postischemic Neuronal Damage in the Gerbil and Rat

“…It pene trated into the cells. Staurosporine, a microbial al kaloid that has been known to have antifungal activity (Omura et al, 1977), was found to inhibit markedly phospholipid/Ca 2 + -dependent PKC in the rat brain (Tamaoki et al, 1986). The IC50 values of staurosporine against PKC, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase were 1.8, 23, and 31 nM, respectively.…”

N-Carboxamido-staurosporine and Selina-4(14),7(11)-diene-8,9-diol, New Metabolites from a Marine Streptomyces sp.

“…By the characteristic 1 H NMR and UV data and the molecular mass (m/z 467, [MϩH] ϩ by (ϩ)-ESI), it was easily identified as staurosporine (1a), which was previously isolated from Streptomyces staurosporeus Awaya (AM-2282) [13].…”

Fradiamine A, a new siderophore from the deep-sea actinomycete Streptomyces fradiae MM456M-mF7

“…Physicochemical screening methods can also be used to detect novel bioactive compounds and avoid the limitations of bioactive assays. For example, the antimicrobial dienomycin isolated from Streptomyces sp., 10 and the antifungal and protein kinase inhibitory substance staurosporine isolated from Streptomyces staurosporeus 11 were discovered from the secondary metabolites of actinomycetes by color reaction-based physicochemical screening. In recent years, LC-HRESI-MS-based non-targeted metabolomics have been used in many laboratories.…”
