Abstract

Six new angucycline structures, including spirocyclione A (1), which contains an unusual oxaspiro[5.5]undecane architecture, and its ring-A-cleaved product spirocyclione B (2), were discovered by heterologous expression of a type II polyketide biosynthetic gene cluster captured from a marine actinomycete strain Streptomyces sp. HDN155000. Three flavoprotein monooxygenases are confirmed to be responsible for the oxidative carbon skeleton rearrangements in the biosynthesis of compounds 1 and 2. The obtained compounds showed promising cytotoxicity against different types of cancer cells.
