A new glutarimide derivative from marine sponge-derived <i>Streptomyces anulatus</i> S71

Abstract

Four glutarimide-derived compounds including a new 3-[2-[2-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl-5-(hydroxymethyl)]-2-oxoethyl] glutarimide (1) and three known 3-[2-(2-hyroxy-3,5- dimethylphenyl)-2-oxoethyl] glutarimide (2, actiphenol), 3-hydroxy-3-[2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-2-oxoethyl] glutarimide (3) and 3-[2-[2-hydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methylphenyl]-2-oxoethyl] glutarimide (4), along with a known indole alkaloid 3-(hydroxyacetyl) indole (5), were isolated from ethyl acetate extract of the fermentation broth of the marine sponge-derived Streptomyces anulatus S71. Their structures were deduced by extensive studies of NMR and mass spectra.
