Aromatic Acids and Leucine Derivatives Produced from the Deep-Sea Actinomycetes Streptomyces chumphonensis SCSIO15079 with Antihyperlipidemic Activities

Six new aromatic acids ( - ) and three new leucine derivatives containing an unusual oxime moiety ( - ) were isolated and identified from the deep-sea-derived actinomycetes strain SCSIO15079, together with two known compounds ( - ). The structures of - including absolute configurations were determined by detailed NMR, MS, and experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectroscopic analyses. Compounds - were evaluated for their antimicrobial and cytotoxicity activities, as well as their effects on intracellular lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. Compounds and , with the most potent inhibitory activity on intracellular lipid accumulation at 10 μM, were revealed with potential antihyperlipidemic effects, although the mechanism needs to be further studied.
