Natural occurrence of organofluorine and other constituents from Streptomyces sp. TC1.

Antioxidant-directed fractionation of an ethyl acetate extract of Streptomyces sp. TC1 resulted in the isolation of a novel secondary metabolite with an aromatic organofluorine scaffold (1), an atypical tripod-type triallyl phenol (2), and a leucine residue comprised polyamine (3). Their structures were established by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis of 1D and 2D NMR data, and compound 1 was confirmed by (19)F NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The absolute configuration of compound 3 was assigned by comparison of its ECD spectra and quantum chemical ECD calculations. Of these, compound 1 displayed antioxidant and DNA and protein binding properties.
