Characterization, Diversity, and Structure-Activity Relationship Study of Lipoamino Acids from Pantoea sp. and Synthetic Analogues
Résumé
A biological evaluation of a library of extracts from entomopathogen strains showed that Pantoea sp. extract has significant antimicrobial and insecticidal activities. Three hydroxyacyl-phenylalanine derivatives were isolated from this strain. Their structures were elucidated by a comprehensive analysis of their NMR and MS spectroscopic data. The antimicrobial and insecticidal potencies of these compounds were evaluated, and compound 3 showed 67% mortality against Aedes aegypti larvae at a concentration of 100 ppm, and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 16 µg/mL against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Subsequently, hydroxyacyl-phenylalanine analogues were synthesized to better understand the structure-activity relationships within this class of compounds. Bioassays highlighted the antimicrobial potential of analogues containing saturated medium-chain fatty acids (12 or 14 carbons), whereas an unsaturated long-chain fatty acid (16 carbons) imparted larvicidal activity. Finally, using a molecular networking-based approach, several close analogues of the isolated and newly synthesized lipoamino acids were discovered in the Pantoea sp. extract.
