Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health challenge with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a leading cause of nosocomial infection. In the search for novel antibiotics, marine sponges have become model organisms as they produce diverse bioactive compounds. We investigated and compared the antibacterial potential of 3 bis-indole alkaloids—bromodeoxytopsentin, bromotopsentin and spongotine A—isolated from the Northeastern Atlantic sponge Spongosorites calcicola. Antimicrobial activity was determined by MIC and time-kill assays. The mechanism of action of bis-indoles was assessed using bacterial cytological profiling via fluorescence microscopy. Finally, we investigated the ability of bis-indole alkaloids to decrease the cytotoxicity of pathogens upon co-incubation with HeLa cells through the measurement of mammalian cell lysis. The bis-indoles were bactericidal to clinically relevant Gram-positive pathogens including MRSA and to the Gram-negative gastroenteric pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Furthermore, the alkaloids were synergistic in combination with conventional antibiotics. Antimicrobial activity of the bis-indole alkaloids was due to rapid disruption and permeabilization of the bacterial cell membrane. Significantly, the bis-indoles reduced pathogen cytotoxicity toward mammalian cells, indicating their ability to prevent bacterial virulence. In conclusion, sponge bis-indole alkaloids are membrane-permeabilizing agents that represent good antibiotic candidates because of their potency against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens.

Abstract:
Indole alkaloids constitute a large class of natural products and their diverse and complex structures have been attributed to potent biological activities such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antimalarial, antiplasmodial and protein kinase inhibition. The isolation of bioactive compounds from natural sources is difficult, costly and an extremely time-consuming process, therefore synthetic pathways are more convenient than natural separation to deliver such compounds in considerable amounts. In this respect, this review provides comprehensive information on the structures and the synthesis of bioactive indole alkaloids utilizing 1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde and its derivatives as starting compounds. 1 Overview2 Phytoalexins2.1 Brassinin, Cyclobrassinin and Brassitin2.2 1-Methoxybrassinin, 1-Methoxyspirobrassinol and 1-Methoxyspirobrassinin2.3 4-Methoxybrassinin and 4-Methoxycyclobrassinin2.4 Cyclobrassinone2.5 Brassilexin2.6 (S)-(–)-Spirobrassinin2.7 Camalexin3 Bis(indole) Alkaloids: Rhopaladines A–D4 Coscinamides A and B5 α-Cyclopiazonic Acid6 Dipodazine7 Isocryptolepine8 Apparicine9 Carbazole Alkaloids: Mukonine and Clausine E10 Indolmycin11 Conclusion

Abstract:
In recent years, a number of alkaloids have been discovered from endophytic fungi in plants, which exhibited excellent biological properties such as antimicrobial, insecticidal, cytotoxic, and anticancer activities. This review mainly deals with the research progress on endophytic fungi for producing bioactive alkaloids such as quinoline and isoquinoline, amines and amides, indole derivatives, pyridines, and quinazolines. The biological activities and action mechanisms of these alkaloids from endophytic fungi are also introduced. Furthermore, the relationships between alkaloid-producing endophytes and their host plants, as well as their potential applications in the future are discussed.

Abstract:
The chemical composition of the bulbs of Pancratium maritimum L. (Amaryllidaceae) from Turkey (Pamucak, Aydın) has been determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 29 compounds belonging to different skeletal types of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids were identified. Lycorine, galanthamine, crinine, and pancracine were found as major constituents. Interestingly, indole alkaloids (1-acetyl-β -carboline and galanthindole) were also detected. Acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitory activity potentials of the alkaloidal extract were also determined. The results of the present study show that Turkish P. maritimum comprises a rich repository for bioactive alkaloids with intriguing structural diversities.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis describes a novel total synthesis of (±)-dehalo-perophoramidine (a dehalogenated analogue of the natural product perophoramidine). The key synthetic transformation involves the construction of vicinal quaternary stereocenters which were installed diastereoselectively. A Claisen rearrangement was used to install the first quaternary stereocenter then a Corey-Chaykovsky-type reaction and a Hosomi-Sakurai-type reaction were used to install the second quaternary stereocenter. Investigations directed towards the total synthesis of the communesin family of natural products are also described. In Chapter 1, the natural products perophoramidine and the communesins are introduced and their related biosynthesis is discussed. The isolation, architectural motifs and biological properties of the natural products are described and discussed. Previously reported approaches to perophoramidine and the communesins are reviewed focussing on how the vicinal quaternary stereocenters are formed in each case. Chapter 1 concludes with the retrosynthetic plan used to form dehalo-perophoramidine. In Chapter 2, previous research from the Westwood group is reviewed focusing on an asymmetric Claisen rearrangement which could potentially be used to install a quaternary stereocenter asymmetrically. A previously reported novel Cope rearrangement, potentially useful for a communesin synthesis, is optimised using microwave, neat and high-temperature flow conditions and leads to the synthesis of an intermediate containing two allyl substituents. In Chapter 3, attempts to functionalise selectively the two allyl substituents are described which was eventually achieved by a regioselective iodoetherification reaction. This leads to the synthesis of two relatively advanced intermediates for a communesin synthesis. Although the total synthesis of the communesins was not achieved, a proposed route from the advanced intermediates to the natural products is described. In Chapter 4, a novel method to construct vicinal quaternary stereocenters is disclosed using a Corey- Chaykovsky-type reaction and a Hosomi-Sakurai-type reaction. A regioselective iodolactonisation, analogous to that presented in Chapter 3, is used to functionalise selectively two allyl substituents that culminates in the preparation of a pentacyclic lactam. In Chapter 5, the total synthesis of (±)-dehalo-perophoramidine is completed and its structure is confirmed by a NMR doping experiment with an authentic sample. The biological activity of dehalo- perophoramidine is investigated and compared to that of perophoramidine. Chapter 5 culminates in an attempted synthesis of the natural product perophoramidine using the route that was used to make dehalo-perophoramidine.

Abstract:
As part of an International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG), extracts of plants from Suriname and Madagascar were bioassayed for cytotoxicity and antimalarial activity. Six cytotoxic extracts and one potential antimalarial were selected for fractionation, and yielded a number of bioactive compounds which were characterized by spectroscopy methods. Craspidospermum verticillatum (Apocynaceae) yielded four known indole alkoids. Casimirella sp (Icacinaceae) gave three new and five known diterpenoids. Pentopetia androsaemifolia (Apocynaceae) afforded one new and three known cardenolide glycosides. Physalis angulata (Solanaceae) yielded seven known physalins. Roupellina boivinnii (Apocynaceae) yielded four known and three new cardenolide glycosides, and three known cucurbitacins were isolated from Octolepis aff. dioica (Thymelaeaceae). In addition to these structural studies, a synthetic approach to lucilactaene, a cell cycle inhibitor was developed.

Full text
Abstract:
Ascidians belonging to Phylum Chordata are the most largest and diverse of the Sub-phylum Tunicata (Urochordata). Marine ascidians are one of the richest sources of bioactive peptides. These bioactive peptides from marine ascidians are confined to various types of structures such as cyclic peptides, acyclic peptides (depsipeptides), linear helical peptides with abundance of one amino acid (proline, trytophane, histidine), peptides forming hairpin like beta sheets or α-helical/β-sheet mixed structures stabilized by intra molecular disulfide bonding. Cyanobactins are fabricated through the proteolytic cleavage and cyclization of precursor peptides coupled with further posttranslational modifications such as hydroxylation, glycosylation, heterocyclization, oxidation, or prenylation of amino acids. Ascidians are known to be a rich source of bioactive alkaloids. β-carbolines form a large group of tryptophan derived antibiotics. Pyridoacridines from ascidians are tetra- or penta- cyclic aromatic alkaloids with broad range of bioactivities. Didemnidines derived from ascidian symbiotic microbes are inhibitors of phospholipase A2 and induce cell apoptosis. Meridianins are indulged in inhibiting various protein kinases such as, cyclindependent kinases, glycogen synthase kinase-3, cyclic nucleotide dependent kinases, casein kinase, and also implicate their activity of interfering with topoisomerase, altering the mitochondrial membrane potential and binding to the DNA minor groove to inhibit transcriptional activation. Most of these bioactive compounds from ascidians are already in different phases of the clinical and pre-clinical trials. They can be used for their nutraceutical values because of their antineoplastic, antihypertensive, antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal, anti-HIV and anti-parasitic, anti-malarial, anti-trypanosomal, anti-cancer etc. This chapter mostly deals with antibacterial compounds from ascidian and their associate symbiotic cyanobacteria.
