Azoxy compounds belong to a small group of natural products sharing a common functional group with the general structure RN = N+(O-)R. Three new azoxides, azodyrecins A-C ( 1-3 ), were isolated from a soil-derived Streptomyces sp. strain P8-A2. The cis-alkenyl unit in 1-3 was found to readily isomerize to the trans-congeners ( 4-6 ).
The structures of the new compounds were determined by detailed spectroscopic (1D/2D NMR) and HRMS data analysis. Azodyrecins belong to a new class of natural azoxy compounds and are proposed to derive from l-alanine and alkylamines. The absolute configurations of 1-6 were defined by comparison of ECD spectra.
While no antimicrobial effects were observed for 1 against Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio anguillarum, or Candida albicans, azodyrecin B ( 2 ) exhibited cytotoxicity against the human leukemia cell line HL-60 with an IC50 value of 2.2 μM.
