The library of the Graduate University of Science and Technology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology - The National Library of Vietnam INTRODUCTION Basic of the thesis Natural resources have been used as drugs, additives and poisons for a long time (Marderosian, 1969) To date, natural products, most of them from terrestrial, play a major role in pharmaceutical industries (Harvey, 2000) Although, oceans accounted for about 70% of earth surface, proved to be very high biodiversity, researches on marine natural products only started recently (Fattorusso, 2012) There are over 30,000 marine natural products known to the public with diverse chemical structures and biological activities (Hu, 2011) Some reported marine natural products had structure similar to that of microorganism It suggested that microorganism may involve in the biosynthesis of these compounds or microorganism might be the production source (Molinski, 2009) Moreover, one of the major advantages of marine microbial research is that it only requires a small amount of natural collected marine samples Laboratory isolation, fermentation can help to produce enough material for further researches Vietnam, situated in the tropical Pacific region with high marine biodiversity, has enormous potential in marine resources Our government also supports the utilization of marine resources for social and economic development (Nguyễn Phú Trọng, 2018) Besides, Vietnam is one of a high antibiotic resistance prevalent country of the word (WHO, 2014) Therefore, development of new antimicrobial reagents domestically is urgently needed Based on those reasons, project “Study on antimicrobial secondary metabolites isolated from selected marine-derived actinobacteria strains belong to Streptomyces genus” was implemented Thesis aims Searching for antimicrobial secondary metabolites from actinobacteria isolated from Vietnam marine samples: - Isolation and screening for Vietnam antimicrobial marine-derived actinobacteria strains - Isolation and structure elucidation of compounds from promising isolated actinobacteria strains - Determination the antimicrobial activities of isolated compounds Main research activities Isolation and culture actinobacteria strains from collected marine samples; Screening the antimicrobial activities of isolated strains, select two promising strains

Fermentation (50 L) of strain G212 and G278 The large-scale fermentations (50 L) of strain G212 and G278 were successfully performed to afford required materials for next research step 4.6 Structure elucidation of secondary metabolites isolated from Streptomyces sp G212 From the culture broth of Streptomyces sp G212, the isolation and structure elucidation of 16 compounds was achieved (Figure 4.31), including two new compounds (G212-2 and G212-3) and one compound isolated first time from nature (G212-1) These isolated compounds were identified as polyethylene terephthalate: ethylene terephthalate cyclic trimer (G212-1), dichlorophenyl derivative: 2,4-dichlorophenyl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate (G2122), phthalite derivative: 4,5-dihydroxy-7-methyl phthalide (G212-3), antibiotics: germicidine A (G212-4), germicidine B (G212-5), benzopyridine derivative: 3,4-dihydroxy-6,7-dimethyl-quinolin-2carboxylic (G212-9), cyclopeptide: cyclo-(Pro-Val) (G212-10), cyclo(Pro-Tyr) (G212-11), cyclo-(Leu-trans-4-hydroxy-Pro) (G212-12), nucleic acid derivative: 2’-deoxythymidine (G212-7), 2’-deoxyuridine (G212-8), indole: N-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxo-ethyl] acetamide (G21213), indole-3-carboxylic acid (G212-14) and 5-hydroxymethyl-4-hydroxy2,4-dimethyl-2-cyclopentenone (G212-6), 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (G212-15), 2-phenylacetic acid (G212-16) Structure of two new compounds, G212-2 and G212-3, were confirmed by total synthesis Figure 4.31 Compounds isolated from G212 10 of unsaturation and the molecular formula (C30H24O12) established from the HR-ESI mass spectrum, assigned a trimeric cyclic structure for compound G212-1 The structure of G212-1 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (Figure 4.4) Therefore, compound G212-1 was identified as ethylene terephthalate cyclic trimer This compound was previously reported as a synthetic derivative (Kint et al., 2003) 4.6.2 2,4-dichlorophenyl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate (G212-2) Compound G212-2 was isolated as a white solid Its HR-ESI mass spectrum showed the proton adduct molecular ion [M+H]+ at m/z 334.9194 (with chlorine isotopic pattern at m/z 334.9194, 336.9167, 338.9141 and 340.9117), which together with 13 C-NMR data is consistent with a molecular formula of C13H6Cl4O2 The H-NMR spectrum of compound G212-2 displayed signals corresponding to two ABX aromatic ring systems [A-ring: H 7.40 (dd, J = 2.0, 8.5 Hz, H-5), 7.57 (d, J = 2.5, H-3), 8.11 (d, J = 8.5, H-6), and B-ring: H 7.23 (d, J = 8.5, H-6′), 7.32 (dd, J = 2.5, 8.5, H-5′), 7.50 (d, J = 2.5, H-3′)] which were supported by COSY spectrum data (Figure 4.10) Analysis of the 13C-NMR spectrum with the aid of the HSQC experiment of G212-2 indicated the presence of 13 carbons, including carbonyl group at C 161.7, methines at C 124.6 (C-5′), 127.3 (C-6), 128.1 (C-6′), 130.3 (C-3′), 131.5 (C-3) and 133.3 (C-5), and quaternary carbons at C 126.4 (C-1), 127.9 (C-2′), 132.4 (C-4′), 136.2 (C-4), 139.7 (C-2) and 145.5 (C-1′) In the HMBC spectrum (Figure 4.10), the correlation of H-6 (H 8.11) with the carbonyl carbon (C 161.7) assigned the connection of the carbonyl group to the A-ring The carbon chemical shift of C1′ (C 145.5) suggested its linkage to oxygen Considering the molecular formula of C13H6Cl4O2 established above, the structure of G212-2 was identified as 2,4dichlorophenyl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate (Figure 4.31) Since the ester linkage of the A- and B-ring could not be resolved by HMBC data analysis, the structure of G212-2 was then confirmed by a simple synthesis step which was achieved by reaction of 2,4-dichloro-benzoyl chloride and 2,4-dichlorophenol (Figure 4.11) The reaction was carried-out at oC to room temperature in the presence of Et3N The 1H NMR spectrum of the synthetic sample was identical with that of the natural compound G212-2 and this is a new compound 11 Table 4.3 NMR data of G212-2 and synthetic compound G212-TH G212-2 G212-2 TH C a,b a,c a,b,# δH mult (J, Hz)

molecular ion [M+H]+ at m/z 181.0496 which together with 13C-NMR data, suggested a molecular formula of C9H8O4 for G212-3 Its IR absorptions implied the presence of hydroxyl groups (3475 cm-1) and carbonyl functionality (1717 cm-1) 12 Table 4.4 NMR data of G212-3 and synthetic compound G212-3 TH G212-3 G212-3 TH C a,b a,c a,b,# δH mult (J, Hz) δC δH mult (J, Hz) 170.9 5.13 s 66.7 5.13 s 3a

2.38, C 16.0), one methylene (H 5.13, C 66.7), one sp2 methine (H 6.72, C 118.4), five aromatic quaternary carbons (C 113.5, 130.1, 134.7, 137.1 and 150.6), and one carbonyl carbon (C 170.9) The six degrees of unsaturation were thus assigned to compound G212-3 The chemical shifts of CH2-3, C-4 and C-5 suggested their linkage to oxygen (Table 1) Intensive analyses of the 2D NMR spectral data, especially the HMBC spectrum (Figure 4.16) indicated that compound G212-3 was a phthalide derivative However, the protons of CH2-3 (H 5.13) were correlated to both C-4 (C 137.1) and C-7 (C 130.1) in the HMBC spectrum Thus, one of these crosspeaks should be a four-bond long-range correlation This observation suggested two structural possibilities for compound G212-3 (Figure 4.12) To confirm the structure of G212-3 and to obtain enough quantity for biological assay, a total synthesis of G212-3 and its isomer G212-6’, was performed As indicated in Figure 4.17, the commercially available substance 2,3-dimethoxy benzoic acid was used as starting material which was converted into G212-3 through major steps Besides, to differentiate the structure of G212-4′ and G212-5′, compound G212-4′ was also one step synthesized from the halogenated G212-1′ 13 Figure 4.12 Two structural possibilities for compound G212-3 Figure 4.16 Main HMBC correlations of G212-3 (a) HCHO,

benzoic acid was turned to phthalide derivative G212-1′ with 80 % yield, using concentrated HCl and paraformaldehyde at 60 - 70 oC, reaction time 3h (Bhattacharjee, 1980) The 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra of G212-1′ gave signals of a carbonyl group at C 168.1; a methine group (C 119.8; H 7.20); methoxy groups (C 57.1; 62.5, H 3.93; 4.11), methylene groups and quaternary carbons Those NMR data confirmed the structure of the phthalide derivative G212-1′ Synthesis of 3,4-dimethoxy-6-methyl-1,2-phenylene dimethanol (G2122′): In the next step, compound G212-1′was reduced by LiAlH4 in THF at reflux to afford the alcohol G212-2′ in 72% yield (Ying, 2011) In comparison with G212-1′, the 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR data of G212-2′ indicated the absent of a carbonyl group and additional signals of a methyl group at C 19.6, H 2.39 These NMR suggested that the lactone ring in compound G212-2′ was open to give an alcohol Synthesis of 4,5-dimethoxy-7-methylisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (G212-3′) The synthesis of G212-3′ was carried in a 2-step procedure First, G212-2′ was oxidized by KMnO4, yielding the acidic product After that, the crude acidic product was refluxed with mL of Ac2O in 30 minutes to give phthalic anhydride derivative G212-3′ in 55% yield The signals appeared in 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra of G212-3′ were close to those of G212-2′, accept for the presence of two carbonyl groups at C 162.6 and 160.9 instead of two methylene groups These NMR data led to the structure establishment of compound G212-3′ 15 Synthesis of G212-4′ and G212-5′ Compound G212-3′ was then treated with LiAlH4 to provide a mixture of two isomers G212-4′ and G212-5′ with a ratio of 1/2, respectively The two isomers G212-4′ and G212-5′ were successfully separated by column chromatography (silica gel; n-hexane/ EtOAc gradient) and their structures were confirmed by NMR data analysis Both NMR spectra of compound G212-4′ and G212-5′ showed signals of a methyl group, a carbonyl, a methin group, methoxy groups and quaternary carbons The HMBC spectra of G212-5′ (Figure 4.19) showed the correlations between protons of CH3-10 group with carbon C-7a, the carbon directly connecting to carbonyl group (C 116.1) This correlation suggested the structure of compound G212-5′ However, the HMBC spectra of G2125′ also indicated the correlations between CH3-10 protons with C-3a and C4 Hence, in order to support for the structural distinction between the two isomers G212-4′ and G212-5′, compound G212-4′ was also synthesized from the halogenated compound G212-1′ by catalytic hydrogenation of Pd/C The NMR data of compound G212-4′ synthesized from two different routes are identical, allowing the structure determination of two isomers G212-4′ and G212-5′ Figure 4.19 Main HMBC correlations of

respectively, 87-89 % yield The NMR datal of G212-3 (natural) and G212-3 TH (synthesized) were identical Thus, compound G212-3 was confirmed to be 4,5-dihydroxy-7methyl phthalide G212-3 and its

Structure elucidation of secondary metabolites isolated from Streptomyces sp G212 Figure 4.49 Isolated compounds from strain G278 18 From the culture broth of Streptomyces sp G278, the isolation and structure elucidation of 16 compounds was achieved (Figure 4.49), including two compound isolated first time from nature G278-15 and G278-16 Among them, there were cyclodipeptides: cyclo-(Pro-Gly) (G278-1), cyclo-(Pro-Leu) (G278-2), cyclo-(Pro-Phe) (G278-3), cyclo (Pro-Tyr) (G278-4), cyclo-(Leu-Tyr) (G278-5), cyclo-(Pro-Trp) (G278-6), one indol compound 1H-indole-3-ethanol (G278-7), coumarin compound: scopoletin (G278-8), nucleoside: compound adenosine (G278-11), dioxan compound: 2-((-5-methyl-1,4-dioxan-2-yl)methoxy)ethanol (G27812) and other phenolic compounds: benzyl salicylate (G278-9), Nphenylnaphthalen-2-amine (G278-10), N-(4-hydroxyphenylethyl)acetamide (G278-13), 2,4-dichlorophenyl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate (G278-14), 2,5-bis(5tert-butyl-2-benzoxazolyl)thiophene (G278-15), 3-hydroxyl-2( methylpyridine G278-16) Structure characterizations of G278-15 and G278-16 are presented below 4.7.1 2,5-Bis(5-tert-butyl-2-benzoxazolyl)thiophene (G278-15) Compound G278-15 was isolated as a white solid HR-ESI mass spectrum of G278-15 presented a pseudo-molecular ion peak at m/z 431.1785 [M+H]+, together with 13C NMR data which were consistent with a molecular formula of C26H26N2O2S Fifteen degrees of unsaturation were thus assigned for G278-15 Its IR spectrum showed absorbance of C=N (1635, 1581 cm-1) and C-O (1266, 1195 cm-1) functionalities Moreover, the presence of sulfur atom in the structure of G278-15was supported by the IR absorption band of C-S at νmax 715 cm-1 In the 1H-NMR spectrum, compound G278-15 displayed signals of an ABX system at δH 7.54 (1H, dd, J = 2.0, 8.0 Hz, H-5), 7.72 (1H, d, J = 8.0 Hz, H-4 ), 7.81 (1H, d, J = 2.0 Hz, H-7 ), a singlet aromatic proton at 8.06 (1H, s, H-3’), and three methyl groups at δH 1.37 (9H, s, x CH3) The 13C-NMR and DEPT spectra of G278-15 indicated the presence of 13 carbon signals Analysis of the HMBC spectrum (Figure 4.38) determined the connection of the tert-butyl group at C-6 of the ABX aromatic system by cross-peaks of C-6 (δC 148.3) with three CH3 protons at δH 1.37, H-4, H-5, and H-7 Additionally, the proton H-3’ (δH 8.06) correlated with the two remaining 19 carbons C-2 (δC 157.5) and C-2’ (δC 132.4), assigning the connection of C-3’/C-2’/C-2 The chemical shifts of C-7a (δC 148.6) and C-3a (δC 141.3) suggested their linkage to oxygen and nitrogen, respectively This observation, together with the chemical shift of C-2 (157.5 ppm) suggested an 1,3-oxazine ring system in the structure of G278-15 These analyses indicated a sub-structure with a formula of C13H13NO for G27815 Taking into account the molecular formula C26H26N2O2S established from the HR-ESI-MS, compound G278-15thus possessed a symmetric structure in which the two sub-structural units C13H13NO were connected each other via C-3–C-3’ and C-2’–S–C-2’’ linkages (Figure S1) Complete analysis of 2D-NMR spectra indicated that compound G27815 was 2,5-bis(5-tert-butyl-2-benzoxazolyl)thiophene This compound, previously synthesized and used as a fluorescent brightening agent (Li, et al 2008), was reported here for the first time from a natural source Table 4.31 NMR data of compound G278-15 G278-15 C a,b δH mult (J,

Main HMBC correlations of compound G278-15 20 4.7.2 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine (G278-16) Compound G278-16 was obtained as white solid Its positive HR-ESI-MS showed the proton adduct ion [M+H]+ at m/z 110.0609 (calcd for C6H7NO, 110.0606) which, together with 13C NMR data, is consistent with the molecular formula of C6H6NO The 1H-NMR spectrum of G278-16 showed the signals of three aromatic protons at δH 7.01 (1H, dd, J = 5.0, 8.0 Hz, H5), 7.09 (1H, d, J = 8.0 Hz, H-4), 7.86 (1H, d, J = 5.0 Hz, H-6) and methyl protons at δH 2.30 (3H, s) The 13C NMR and DEPT spectra of G278-16 displayed the presence of the groups observed above from the 1H NMR spectrum, with additional two aromatic quaternary carbons δC 147.7 (C-2) and 154.0 (C-3) The assignment of carbon signals corresponding to each proton signal was achieved by a HSQC experiment The proton coupling constants of H-4, H-5 and H-6, together with the chemical shifts of C-2 and C-6 suggested the presence of a pyridine ring This suggestion was confirmed by the HMBC spectrum analysis (Figure 4.48), in which the cross-peaks of methyl protons at δH 2.30 with C-2 and C-3, H-5 with C-3, and H-6 and H-4 with C-2 were observed The chemical shift of C-3 (δC 154.0) suggested its linkage to oxygen Thus, compound G278-16 was identified as 3-hydroxyl-2-methylpyridine This compound has been previously synthesized (Jida and Ollivier, 2008), however, this is the first report of G278-16 from a natural source Table 4.32 NMR data of compound G278-16 and reference compound G278-16 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine C a,c a,d δH mlult (J, Hz)

actinobacteria strains were isolated The antimicrobial activities of 35 isolated strains were tested against a panel of clinical important pathogens, of which, 24/35 strains (68,6 %) exhibited inhibition activities and 4/35 strains (11,4 %) inhibited the growth of at least tested micro-organisms Strain G212 and G278, active against 5/7 tested microorganisms, was identified belonging to Streptomyces genus, their 16S rRNA gene sequences were registered with GenBank access code of MF187963 and MF960781, respectively There were 32 secondary metabolites (including 30 different compounds) isolated from trains G212 and G278 Of which, two compounds 2,4-dichlorophenyl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate (G212-2) and 4,5-dihydroxy-7-methyl phthalide (G212-3) were new; and there compounds ethylene terephthalate cyclic trimer (G212-1), 2,5-bis(5-tert-butyl-2-benzoxazolyl)thiophene (G27815) and 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine (G278-16) were reported for the first time from nature To confirm the structure of two new compound G212-2 and G2123, total synthesis was achieved These syntheses not only produced enough quantities of G212-2 and G212-3 for their biological screening but also allowed to obtain three new derivatives of G212-3 The structure of the first time from nature compound G212-1 was confirmed by X-ray Testing isolated compounds against a panel of microbial pathogens revealed that 20/30 isolates shown inhibition activities against tested pathogens Three synthesized analogues of compound G212-3 exhibited antimicrobial activites While synthesized isomer G212-6’ strongly inhibited fungus C albicans and Gram negative bacteria P aeruginosa (MIC = 32 µg/ml), the natural isomer G212-3 was not active against C albicans 23 RECOMMENDATIONS Further biological characterizations should be conducted for isolated compounds that exhibited antimicrobial activities Further study on un-touched isolated antimicrobial actinobacteria strains should be carried The scope of this project should also expanded to other marine areas for identification of marine microorganisms with strong biological active secondary metabolites NEW FINDINGS OF THE THESIS 35
