Infectious diseases caused by drug-resistant bacteria are one of the most serious problems currently facing the medical field, as warned by the CDC 1 and the WHO. 2, 3 Among these drug-resistant bacteria, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis/faecium (VRE) are two of the most intractable nosocomial pathogens that show broad-range drug resistance. Vancomycin has been used as the last resort for the treatment of infectious diseases caused by S. aureus and enterococci; however, since 1986, VRE strains have emerged and become widespread. 4, 5 Since the beginning of this century, vancomycin intermediate-resistant S. aureus have been frequently isolated 6 and 33 strains of vancomycin high-level resistant S. aureus have also emerged in Asian countries and in the United States. 7 Effective drugs against these pathogens are urgently needed.During the course of our screening for antibiotics active against both methicillin-resistant S. aureus and VRE, pargamicin A (PRG-A, Figure 1) was discovered from the fermentation broth of soil actinomycete strain Amycolatopsis sp. ML1-hF4. 8 PRG-A is a structurally unique cyclic peptide consisting of N-methyl-3-hydroxy valine, 4-hydroxy piperazic acid (4-OH-Pip), sarcosine, phenylalanine, N-hydroxy isoleucine (NOH-Ile) and piperazic acid (Pip), which shows excellent in vitro antibacterial activity that is either comparable to, or more potent than, that of other currently available drugs, including vancomycin. 8 Our previous studies revealed that PRG-A exerted rapid bactericidal activity against staphylococci and enterococci via a mechanism that involved disruption of the membrane integrity of the target cells, 9 a mode of action distinct from that of daptomycin. 9, 10 During the process of optimization of PRG-A production, we discovered new active components PRG-B,-C and-D (Figure 1) in the culture broth of the PRG-A-producing strain Amycolatopsis sp. ML1-hF4. This present study investigates the fermentation, isolation, structural elucidation and antimicrobial activities of these new PRG-A-analogs and discusses the structure–activity relationship of PRGs.
