The isolation and structure elucidation of four new naturally occurring amino-nucleoside [puromycins B-E (1-4)] metabolites from a Himalayan isolate ( Streptomyces sp. PU-14-G, isolated from the Bara Gali region of northern Pakistan) is reported. Consistent with prior reports, comparative antimicrobial assays revealed the need for the free 2″-amine for anti-Gram-positive bacteria and antimycobacterial activity. Similarly, comparative cancer cell line cytotoxicity assays highlighted the importance of the puromycin-free 2″-amine and the impact of 3'-nucleoside substitution. These studies extend the repertoire of known naturally occurring puromycins and their corresponding SAR. Notably, 1 represents the first reported naturally occurring bacterial puromycin-related metabolite with a 3'- N-amino acid substitution that differs from the 3'- N-tyrosinyl of classical puromycin-type natural products. This discovery suggests the biosynthesis of 1 in Streptomyces sp. PU-14G may invoke a uniquely permissive amino-nucleoside synthetase and/or multiple synthetases and sets the stage for further studies to elucidate, and potentially exploit, new biocatalysts for puromycin chemoenzymatic diversification.
