Abstract
Three new structures named naphpyrone I-K (1-3) that contain a 6/6/6/6 oxaphenalene pyranone skeleton were isolated and purified from a marine-derived Streptomyces sp. HDN155000. Their chemical structures, including configurations, were elucidated by extensive NMR, MS, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, theoretical NMR calculations, DP4+ probability analysis, and ECD analyses. Naphpyrone K (3) showed cytotoxic activities against L-02, K562, NCI-H446/EP, MDA-MB-231, and NCI-H446 cancer cells with IC50 values of 5.13, 3.34, 2.50, 2.61, and 2.20 μM, respectively. These findings highlight the potential for screening and developing therapeutic drugs from aromatic polyketides derived from marine actinobacteria.

Abstract
In the course of screening for anti-enterococcal antibiotics from microbial resources, a new tirandamycin congener (1), together with four known tirandamycins (2 to 5), were isolated from Streptomyces tirandamycinicus TMPU-20A040. The structures of these tirandamycins were elucidated using NMR and MS analyses; 1 was identified as 12-carboxy tirandamycin A and 2 to 5 as known tirandamycins A (2), B (3), E (4), and J (5). Compounds 1 to 3 exhibited selective anti-Enterococci activity, including vancomycin-resistant strains, with MIC in the range of 1.0 to 64 µg ml-1 in the microdilution method. 2 and 3 exerted weak therapeutic effects in the in vivo-mimic silkworm Enterococcus faecalis infection model with ED50 values of 150 and 75 µg larva-1 g-1, respectively, indicating that the in vivo activities of 2 and 3 were lower than their in vitro activities. Further investigations into the causes of the decreased in vivo activities of 2 and 3 suggested the low plasma protein binding ratio of these compounds, but revealed short half-lives of 6.3 and 16 min, respectively, in the silkworm hemolymph.

Abstract
Natural alkaloids originating from actinomycetes and synthetic derivatives have always been among the important suppliers of small-molecule drugs. Among their biological sources, Streptomyces is the highest and most extensively researched genus. Marine-derived Streptomyces strains harbor unconventional metabolic pathways and have been demonstrated to be efficient producers of biologically active alkaloids; more than 60% of these compounds exhibit valuable activity such as antibacterial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory activities. This review comprehensively summarizes novel alkaloids produced by marine Streptomyces discovered in the past decade, focusing on their structural features, biological activity, and pharmacological mechanisms. Future perspectives on the discovery and development of novel alkaloids from marine Streptomyces are also provided.

Abstract
Tirandamycin (TAM B) is a tetramic acid antibiotic discovered to be active on a screen designed to find compounds with neuroprotective activity. The producing strain, SBST2-5T, is an actinobacterium that was isolated from wastewater treatment bio-sludge compost collected from Suphanburi province, Thailand. Taxonomic characterization based on a polyphasic approach indicates that strain SBST2-5T is a member of the genus Streptomyces and shows low average nucleotide identity (ANI) (81.7%), average amino-acid identity (AAI) (78.5%), and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) (25.9%) values to its closest relative, Streptomyces thermoviolaceus NBRC 13905T, values that are significantly below the suggested cut-off values for the species delineation, indicating that strain SBST2-5T could be considered to represent a novel species of the genus Streptomyces. The analysis of secondary metabolites biosynthetic gene clusters (smBGCs) in its genome and chemical investigation led to the isolation of TAM B. Interestingly, TAM B at 20 µg/mL displayed a suppressive effect on beta-secretase 1 (BACE1) with 68.69 ± 8.84% inhibition. Molecular docking simulation reveals the interaction mechanism between TAM B and BACE1 that TAM B was buried in the pocket of BACE-1 by interacting with amino acids Thr231, Asp 228, Gln73, Lys 107 via hydrogen bond and Leu30, Tyr71, Phe108, Ile118 via hydrophobic interaction, indicating that TAM B represents a potential active BACE1 inhibitor. Moreover, TAM B can protect the neuron cells significantly (% neuron viability = 83.10 ± 9.83% and 112.72 ± 6.83%) from oxidative stress induced by serum deprivation and Aβ1-42 administration models at 1 ng/mL, respectively, without neurotoxicity on murine P19-derived neuron cells nor cytotoxicity against Vero cells. This study was reportedly the first study to show the neuroprotective and BACE1 inhibitory activities of TAM B.

Abstract
Covering: 2016 to 2022RNA polymerase (RNAP) is the central enzyme in bacterial gene expression representing an attractive and validated target for antibiotics. Two well-known and clinically approved classes of natural product RNAP inhibitors are the rifamycins and the fidaxomycins. Rifampicin (Rif), a semi-synthetic derivative of rifamycin, plays a crucial role as a first line antibiotic in the treatment of tuberculosis and a broad range of bacterial infections. However, more and more pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis develop resistance, not only against Rif and other RNAP inhibitors. To overcome this problem, novel RNAP inhibitors exhibiting different target sites are urgently needed. This review includes recent developments published between 2016 and today. Particular focus is placed on novel findings concerning already known bacterial RNAP inhibitors, the characterization and development of new compounds isolated from bacteria and fungi, and providing brief insights into promising new synthetic compounds.

Abstract
While several bioactive natural products that contain tetramate or pyridone heterocycles have been described, information on the enzymology underpinning these functionalities has been limited. Here we biochemically characterize an off-loading Dieckmann cyclase, NcmC, that installs the tetramate headgroup in nocamycin, a hybrid polyketide/nonribosomal peptide natural product. Crystal structures of the enzyme (1.6 Å) and its covalent complex with the epoxide cerulenin (1.6 Å) guide additional structure-based mutagenesis and product-profile analyses. Our results offer mechanistic insights into how the conserved thioesterase-like scaffold has been adapted to perform a new chemical reaction, namely, heterocyclization. Additional bioinformatics combined with docking and modeling identifies likely candidates for heterocycle formation in underexplored gene clusters and uncovers a modular basis of substrate recognition by the two subdomains of these Dieckmann cyclases.

Abstract
Tetramic acid (pyrrolidine-2,4-dione) compounds, isolated from a variety of marine and terrestrial organisms, have attracted considerable attention for their diverse, challenging structural complexity and promising bioactivities. In the past decade, marine-derived microorganisms have become great repositories of novel tetramic acids. Here, we discuss the biological activities of 277 tetramic acids of eight classifications (simple 3-acyl tetramic acids, 3-oligoenoyltetramic acids, 3-decalinoyltetramic acid, 3-spirotetramic acids, macrocyclic tetramic acids, N-acylated tetramic acids, α-cyclopiazonic acid-type tetramic acids, and other tetramic acids) from marine-derived microbes, including fungi, actinobacteria, bacteria, and cyanobacteria, as reported in 195 research studies up to 2019.

Identification of nocamycin biosynthetic gene cluster from Saccharothrix syringae NRRL B-16468 and generation of new nocamycin derivatives by manipulating gene cluster. Microb Cell Fact 2017; 16:100.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nocamycins I and II, produced by the rare actinomycete Saccharothrix syringae, belong to the tetramic acid family natural products. Nocamycins show potent antimicrobial activity and they hold great potential for antibacterial agent design. However, up to now, little is known about the exact biosynthetic mechanism of nocamycin. RESULTS In this report, we identified the gene cluster responsible for nocamycin biosynthesis from S. syringae and generated new nocamycin derivatives by manipulating its gene cluster. The biosynthetic gene cluster for nocamycin contains a 61 kb DNA locus, consisting of 21 open reading frames (ORFs). Five type I polyketide synthases (NcmAI, NcmAII, NcmAIII, NcmAIV, NcmAV) and a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NcmB) are proposed to be involved in synthesis of the backbone structure, a Dieckmann cyclase NcmC catalyze the releasing of linear chain and the formation of tetramic acid moiety, five enzymes (NcmEDGOP) are related to post-tailoring steps, and five enzymes (NcmNJKIM) function as regulators. Targeted inactivation of ncmB led to nocamycin production being completely abolished, which demonstrates that this gene cluster is involved in nocamycin biosynthesis. To generate new nocamycin derivatives, the gene ncmG, encoding for a cytochrome P450 oxidase, was inactivated. Two new nocamycin derivatives nocamycin III and nocamycin IV were isolated from the ncmG deletion mutant strain and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analyses. Based on bioinformatics analysis and new derivatives isolated from gene inactivation mutant strains, a biosynthetic pathway of nocamycins was proposed. CONCLUSION These findings provide the basis for further understanding of nocamycin biosynthetic mechanism, and set the stage to rationally engineer new nocamycin derivatives via combinatorial biosynthesis strategy.
