Lodopyridones B and C from a marine sediment-derived bacterium Saccharomonospora sp.

HPLC-UV guided isolation of the culture broth of a marine bacterium Saccharomonospora sp. CNQ-490 has led to the isolation of two new natural products, lodopyridones B and C (1 and 2) along with the previously reported lodopyridone A (3). Their chemical structures were established from the interpretation of 2D NMR spectroscopic data and the comparison of NMR data with the lodopyridone A (3). Lodopyridones B and C (1 and 2) possess the thiazole, and chloroquinoline groups which are characteristic features of these molecules. Lodopyridones A-C show weak inhibitory activities on the β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1).
