Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Chemical investigation of a marine actinomycete within the family Streptomycetaceae (our strain CNQ-149) has led to the isolation of the unprecedented alkaloids, actinobenzoquinoline (1) and actinophenanthrolines A-C (2-4). The chemical structures of 1-4 were assigned by interpretation of NMR spectroscopic data, and their absolute configurations were assigned by X-ray analysis. Actinobenzoquinoline possesses a 5-methyloxazolidin-4-one moiety and a dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline core structure, while actinophenanthrolines A-C are composed of hydroxypropanamide-substituted 1,7-phenanthroline core skeletons.
