Abstract
The actinomycetes have proven to be a rich source of bioactive secondary metabolites and play a critical role in the development of pharmaceutical researches. With interactions of host organisms and having special ecological status, the actinomycetes associated with marine animals, marine plants, macroalgae, cyanobacteria, and lichens have more potential to produce active metabolites acting as chemical defenses to protect the host from predators as well as microbial infection. This review focuses on 536 secondary metabolites (SMs) from actinomycetes associated with these marine organisms covering the literature to mid-2021, which will highlight the taxonomic diversity of actinomycetes and the structural classes, biological activities of SMs. Among all the actinomycetes listed, members of Streptomyces (68%), Micromonospora (6%), and Nocardiopsis (3%) are dominant producers of secondary metabolites. Additionally, alkaloids (37%), polyketides (33%), and peptides (15%) comprise the largest proportion of natural products with mostly antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the data analysis and clinical information of SMs have been summarized in this article, suggesting that some of these actinomycetes with multiple host organisms deserve more attention to their special ecological status and genetic factors.

Abstract
Covering: up to mid-2020 Terpenoids, also called isoprenoids, are the largest and most structurally diverse family of natural products. Found in all domains of life, there are over 80 000 known compounds. The majority of characterized terpenoids, which include some of the most well known, pharmaceutically relevant, and commercially valuable natural products, are produced by plants and fungi. Comparatively, terpenoids of bacterial origin are rare. This is counter-intuitive to the fact that recent microbial genomics revealed that almost all bacteria have the biosynthetic potential to create the C5 building blocks necessary for terpenoid biosynthesis. In this review, we catalogue terpenoids produced by bacteria. We collected 1062 natural products, consisting of both primary and secondary metabolites, and classified them into two major families and 55 distinct subfamilies. To highlight the structural and chemical space of bacterial terpenoids, we discuss their structures, biosynthesis, and biological activities. Although the bacterial terpenome is relatively small, it presents a fascinating dichotomy for future research. Similarities between bacterial and non-bacterial terpenoids and their biosynthetic pathways provides alternative model systems for detailed characterization while the abundance of novel skeletons, biosynthetic pathways, and bioactivies presents new opportunities for drug discovery, genome mining, and enzymology.

Abstract
In this study, the synthesis of N-alkyl-2-halophenazin-1-ones has been established. Six N-alkyl-2-halophenazin-1-ones, including WS-9659 B and marinocyanins A and B, were synthesized by the direct oxidative condensation of 4-halo-1,2,3-benzenetriol with the corresponding N-alkylbenzene-1,2-diamines. One of the most significant features of the present method is that it can be successfully applied to the synthesis of N-alkyl-2-chlorophenazin-1-ones. The traditional chlorination of N-alkyl-phenazin-1-ones with N-chlorosuccinimide selectively occurs at the 4-position to afford the undesired N-alkyl-4-chlorophenazin-1-ones. Our synthetic route successfully circumvents this problem, culminating in the first chemical synthesis of WS-9659 B. The cytotoxicity of six N-alkyl-2-halophenazin-1-ones and three N-alkylphenazin-1-ones against human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60, human lung cancer A549, and normal MRC-5 cells was evaluated. Among the compounds tested in this study, 2-chloropyocyanin possesses significant selectivity toward A549 cells. The cytotoxic evaluation provides structural insights into the potency and selectivity of these compounds for cancer cells.

Abstract
Lavanducyanin is a bioactive phenazine-containing secondary metabolite, and naphthomevalin is an antibacterial polyketide secondary metabolite. Herein, new analogues of lavanducyanin (2) and of naphthomevalin (4), together with lavanducyanin (1) and naphthomevalin (3), were identified from Streptomyces sp. CPCC 203577, an actinomycete soil isolate. The structures of 2 and 4 were elucidated as 1-hydroxy-7-oxolavanducyanin and Δ7″,8″-6″-hydroxynaphthomevalin, respectively, by 1D and 2D NMR. Antibacterial assays revealed that 2 had significant but reduced anti-Gram-positive bacterial activity compared with 1, and 4 was devoid of anti-Gram-positive bacterial activity. This indicated that the phenazinone nucleus in lavanducyanin and the monoterpene side chain in naphthomevalin might be important for their anti-Gram-positive bacterial activity. Compounds 1-4 were all inactive against Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Total syntheses of pyocyanin, lavanducyanin, and marinocyanins A and B have been accomplished. The N-substituted phenazin-1-one skeleton, a common framework of these natural products, was constructed through the oxidative condensation of pyrogallol with N-substituted benzene-1,2-diamine under an oxygen atmosphere in a single step. Regioselective bromination with N-bromosuccinimide at the C-2 position of N-alkylated phenazin-1-ones afforded brominated natural products.

Abstract
Marine actinomycetes provide a rich source of structurally unique and bioactive secondary metabolites. Numerous genera of marine actinomycetes have been isolated from marine sediments as well as several sponge species. In this study, 16 different species of Caribbean sponges were collected from four different locations in the coastal waters off Puerto Rico in order to examine diversity and bioactive metabolite production of marine actinomycetes in Caribbean sponges. Sediments were also collected from each location, in order to compare actinomycete communities between these two types of samples. A total of 180 actinomycetes were isolated and identified based on 16S rRNA gene analysis. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of at least 14 new phylotypes belonging to the genera Micromonospora, Verruscosispora, Streptomyces, Salinospora, Solwaraspora, Microbacterium and Cellulosimicrobium. Seventy-eight of the isolates (19 from sediments and 59 from sponges) shared 100 % sequence identity with Micromonospora sp. R1. Despite having identical 16S rRNA sequences, the bioactivity of extracts and subsequent fractions generated from the fermentation of both sponge- and sediment-derived isolates identical to Micromonospora sp. R1 varied greatly, with a marked increase in antibiotic metabolite production in those isolates derived from sponges. These results indicate that the chemical profiles of isolates with high 16S rRNA sequence homology to known strains can be diverse and dependent on the source of isolation. In addition, seven previously reported dihydroquinones produced by five different Streptomyces strains have been purified and characterized from one Streptomyces sp. strain isolated in this study from the Caribbean sponge Agelas sceptrum.

Abstract
Testosterone 5α-reductase inhibitors represent important therapeutic drugs for use against androgen-dependent diseases such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, male pattern baldness, and acne. We have searched for inhibitors of rat prostate testosterone 5α-reductase in the cultured broths of many kinds of soil bacteria, and have found that cultured soybean-casein digest broths of certain bacterial strains have a potent inhibitory effect on the enzyme. We tested 10 selected isoflavonoids, including isoflavones and O-methylated isoflavones, for inhibitory effects on rat prostate testosterone 5α-reductase to determine the important structural elements for inhibition of the enzyme. Genistein, biochanin A, equol, and 3',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone showed considerably higher inhibitory effects whereas daidzein, formononetin, glycitein, prunetin, ipriflavone, and 4',7-dimethoxyisoflavone showed lower inhibitory effects. The IC(50) values of genistein, biochanin A, equol, 3',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone, and riboflavin, a positive control, for rat prostate testosterone 5α-reductase were 710 μm, 140 μm, 370 μm, 690 μm, and 17 μm, respectively. Daidzein, genistein, biochanin A, formononetin, and equol are already known to be testosterone 5α-reductase inhibitors, but this is the first characterization of 3',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone as an inhibitor of the enzyme.

Abstract
Micro-organisms continue to provide an important source of chemical diversity for the discovery of compounds with new biological activities. Microbial metabolites discovered recently using assays to detect compounds with potential pharmacological utility are surveyed and found to represent an extensive range of structural types produced by a wide variety of organisms. Assays used for screening samples produced by microbial processes must be robust, sensitive and specific and able to operate above a background of potential interferences from a number of sources. Discovery assays currently in use fall into three main categories cell-based, receptor-ligand interaction and enzyme inhibition assays. Trends in the use of these assays and new developments in assay technology applicable to the screening of microbial samples are examined with particular reference to the high throughput screening environment. For microbial screening to be a competitive route to new drug leads, the disciplines involved must be engineered into a seamlessly integrated process to deliver novel compounds with the required biological properties rapidly.

Abstract
Although much has been written in recent years about rational drug design, no drug has been designed de novo, that is, without using a natural substrate or inhibitor or screening lead as a starting point. Instead, as we have seen, medicinal chemists continue to depend upon serendipitous discovery of novel biological activities and novel chemical entities for structures on which to begin work. What rational drug design really means at present is rational drug discovery and rational optimization. These result from the application of modern structural and mechanistic biochemistry, and good synthetic chemistry, to obtain structures with the desired spectrum of biological activities. Traditionally, lead compounds were discovered in plant and animal extracts, and more recently in microorganisms and chemical libraries. These traditional approaches continue, but are augmented by advances in molecular biology, which now provide pure proteins in quantity for screening and structure determination, as well as for characterization by modern biophysical methods. Remarkably, x-ray and NMR methods can now provide the most important information needed to design new drugs, that is, the conformations of ligands bound to target proteins. Approaches to identifying possible ligands based only on the knowledge of the enzyme active site are being developed. Some of these, such as CAVEAT, have been recently reviewed. In spite of these impressive gains, de novo design of new drugs will not be achieved until we learn how to logically build specific inhibitors of a target enzyme knowing only the protein sequence of the enzyme or the amino acid sequence of the messenger substances. We have a long way to go, because by this very rigorous definition, even the successful design of a new nonpeptide drug beginning with enzyme-ligand NMR or x-ray structure constitutes rational optimization. However, as this article has illustrated, we have made great progress. Some of the current and futuristic approaches to drug design are shown in Fig. 8. Development of useful enzyme inhibitors, designed by knowing the enzyme catalytic mechanism or discovered by screening for natural inhibitors, is a very successful rational method. Discovery of receptor antagonists by screening protocols is also productive.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
