New piericidin rhamnosides as potentiators of amphotericin B activity against Candida albicans produced by actinomycete strain TMPU-A0287

Four new piericidin rhamnosides ( 2 , 4 – 6 ) together with three known piericidins ( 1 , 3 , 7 ) were isolated from the culture broth of the unidentified actinomycete strain TMPU-A0287 as potentiators of antifungal amphotericin B (AmB) activity. The structures of piericidins were elucidated by spec...

Description
Summary:Four new piericidin rhamnosides ( 2 , 4 – 6 ) together with three known piericidins ( 1 , 3 , 7 ) were isolated from the culture broth of the unidentified actinomycete strain TMPU-A0287 as potentiators of antifungal amphotericin B (AmB) activity. The structures of piericidins were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, including NMR and MS. Compounds 2 and 4 – 6 possessed a ketone at C-10 and one or two methoxy groups on the rhamnose in their structures. Compounds 1 – 7 did not exhibit antifungal activity against Candida albicans and all potentiated AmB activity. The MIC values of AmB against C. albicans combined with 1 – 7 (4.0 μg ml −1 ) decreased from 0.50 to 0.063 or 0.031 μg ml −1 , yielding an 8- or 16-fold increase in AmB activity.
