The past several years have seen an explosion of new metabolites that are isolated from fungi and have interesting biological activities. Our research group has a rich history in the synthesis [1] and elucidation of the biosynthesis [2] of fungal metabolites derived from tryptophan, isoprene, proline, and proline derivatives.[3] Recently, two research groups have reported structurally related alkaloids that were isolated from two different strains of fungi, cultivated from marine environments. Tsukamoto and co-workers recently isolated four new prenylated indole alkaloids named the notoamides A–D (1–4, Scheme 1), along with the known alkaloids sclerotiamide and stephacidin A (9), from a marine strain of Aspergillus sp. cultivated from the common mussel, Mytilus edulis.[4] The structures of the notoamides A–D contain a pyranoindole ring system similar to those found in the stephacidins [5, 6] and several paraherquamides.[7] In addition, notoamide A (1) and B (2) possess the bridged [2.2. 2] diazaoctane ring system commonly found in the paraherquamide and stephacidin family. Interestingly, the nitrogen atom of the 2-oxindole moiety of notoamide A is oxidized to the N-hydroxy group. The notoamides C (3) and D (4) lack the bridged bicycle of 1 and 2, and 4 contains the pyrrroloindole ring system.[8] The notoamidesA–C exhibit moderate cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cell lines but notoamide D shows no such activity.In 2005, a related alkaloid family, the norgeamides (5–8, Scheme 1), was reported by researchers at the Hans–Knöll Institute.[9] These compounds were isolated from a strain of cold water Aspergillius fungi growing in the North Sea [9] and bear a striking resemblance to 3 and 4. However, the distinguishing feature of the norgeamides is that the α position of the proline ring (at C17) has a methoxy substituent for norgeamide A (5) and a hydroxy group for norgeamide B (6) and D (8). As for the biological activity of the norgeamides, all have been found to inhibit the growth of a variety of cancer cell lines with different efficacies. Norgeamide A (5) was reported to be the most potent inhibitor of cell growth with observed values of 77–98% inhibition. Norgeamide B (6), which only differs from 5 in the substitution at the C17 position, was 20–30% less effective at inhibiting cell growth. The norgeamides C (7) and D (8) were the poorest inhibitors of this family of alkaloids with only 34–41% inhibition being observed. In comparison with the notoamides, it is reasonable to assume that the oxidation state of the proline ring system is vital for biological activity.
