We have developed two syntheses of vicenistatin and its analogues. Our first-generation strategy included the rapid and sequential assembly of the macrocyclic lactam by using an intermolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction between the C3-C13 fragment and the C1-C2, C14-C19 fragment, followed by an intramolecular Stille coupling reaction. The second-generation strategy utilized a ring-closing metathesis of a hexaene intermediate to generate the desired 20-membered macrolactam. This second-generation strategy made it possible to prepare synthetic analogues of vicenistatin, including the C20- and/or C23-demethyl analogues. Evaluation of the cytotoxic effect of these analogues indicated the importance of the fixed conformation of aglycon for determining the biological activity of the vicenistatins.

Vicenistatin () is a potent polyketide antitumor antibiotic composed of a 20-membered macrolactam core appended to a unique aminosugar, vicenisamine. In this study, vicenistatin was isolated and its biosynthetic gene cluster identified from -associated SCSIO Mla-L010. A set of five genes, , , , , and , was confirmed to be involved in the biosynthesis of the aminosugar by gene inactivations.

During the course of constructing a natural product library for drug screening consisting of microbial culture extracts originated from marine samples, we evaluated natural product components profiles via UPLC TOF-MS and routine biological tests for cytotoxic and antibiotic activities for all of the culture extract samples. By combination of chemical screening and biological activities, we succeeded in discovering a 20-membered macrolactam antibiotic subsequently designated JBIR-150 (1) from a marine-derived actinomycete identified as Streptomyces sp. that was isolated from an Okinawan marine sediment.

Heronamides are biosynthetically related metabolites isolated from marine-derived actinomycetes. Heronamide C shows potent antifungal activity by targeting membrane phospholipids possessing saturated hydrocarbon chains with as-yet-unrevealed modes of action. In spite of their curious hypothesized biosynthesis and fascinating biological activities, there have been conflicts in regard to the reported stereochemistries of heronamides.

Polyene macrolactams are a class of microbial metabolites, many of which show potent biological activities with unidentified modes of action. Here we report that 8-deoxyheronamide C, a new 20-membered polyene macrolactam from a marine-derived actinomycete Streptomyces sp., is a unique membrane binder.
