Abstract
Three new polyketide dimers named huoshanmycins A‒C ( 1 – 3 ) were isolated from a plant endophytic Streptomyces sp. HS-3-L-1 in the leaf of Dendrobium huoshanense , which was collected from the Cultivation base in Jiuxianzun Huoshanshihu Co., Ltd. The dimeric structures of huoshanmycins were composed of unusual polyketides SEK43, SEK15, or UWM4, with a unique methylene linkage. Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive 1D-/2D-NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic data analysis. The cytotoxicity against MV4-11 human leukemia cell by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) method was evaluated using isolated compounds with triptolide as positive control (IC 50 : 1.1 ± 0.4 μM). Huoshanmycins A and B ( 1 , 2 ) displayed moderate cytotoxicity with IC 50 values of 32.9 ± 7.2 and 33.2 ± 6.1 μM, respectively.
