| Abstract | :  Himalaquinones A-G, seven new anthraquinone-derived metabolites, were obtained from the Himalayan-based sp. PU-MM59. The chemical structures of the new compounds were identified based on cumulative analyses of HRESIMS and NMR spectra. Himalaquinones A-F were determined to be unique anthraquinones that contained unusual C-4a 3-methylbut-3-enoic acid aromatic substitutions, while himalaquinone G was identified as a new 5,6-dihydrodiol-bearing angucyclinone. Comparative bioactivity assessment (antimicrobial, cancer cell line cytotoxicity, impact on 4E-BP1 phosphorylation, and effect on axolotl embryo tail regeneration) revealed cytotoxic landomycin and saquayamycin analogues to inhibit 4E-BP1p and inhibit regeneration. In contrast, himalaquinone G, while also cytotoxic and a regeneration inhibitor, did not affect 4E-BP1p status at the doses tested. As such, this work implicates a unique mechanism for himalaquinone G and possibly other 5,6-dihydrodiol-bearing angucyclinones. |
