Cytotoxic Indolocarbazoles From a Marine-Derived Streptomyces Sp. OUCMDZ-5380

Under the guidance of global natural product social molecular networking, three new indolocarbazoles named streptocarbazoles F–H (1-3), along with staurosporine (4) were isolated from the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-5380. Structures of streptocarbazoles F–H were, respectively, determined as N-demethyl-N-hexanoylstaurosporine (1), N-demethyl-N-(2-methyl-3-methoxypyridin-4-yl) staurosporine staurosporine (2), and 4-(N-demethylstaurosporine-N-yl)-1,2-dimethyl-3-methoxypyridinium (3) by spectroscopic analysis and electronic circular dichroism comparison with staurosporine. Compared with staurosporine (4), streptocarbazoles F–H (1-3) showed a selective antiproliferation of the acute myeloid leukemia cell line MV4-11 with the IC50 values of 0.81, 0.55, and 1.88 μM, respectively.
