Description:
P6215PC00 Spirolactone as a novel antimicrobial lead Technical field The present invention relates, generally, to beta-lactones comprising a spiral-fused ring and a beta-lactone ring, and derivatives thereof, and their use as antimicrobial agents. Background Antibiotics, cancer chemotherapeutics and other bioactive compounds derived from nature, such as penicillin and vancomycin, have saved millions of lives and revolutionized the modern medicine. Till today, nature has continued being a rich source of drug discovery. Among those valuable natural products, beta-lactones (examples shown in Figure 1), although rarely reported as natural products, often possess profound biological activities. For example, Obafluorin (Figure 1.1), an antibiotic produced by Peudomonas fluorescens, exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Providencia rettgeri and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Salinosporamide (Figure 1.2), isolated from the marine bacterium Salinospora tropica, is a cytotoxic proteasome inhibitor and completed phase 2 clinical trial for multiple myeloma cancer therapy. Lipstatin (Figure 1.3), isolated from Streptomyces toxytricini, is a potent and selective inhibitor of human pancreatic lipase, and it is currently used in clinic as anti-obese drug. Actinomycetes are producers of small bioactive molecules exhibiting a broad range of structural and functional diversity called secondary metabolites (SMs). These compounds are relevant to human health, as many display pharmaceutical properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer and immunosuppressive activities. Nearly two thirds of antibiotics approved for clinical use originate from actinomycete bacteria, and of all new drugs from 1981-201460 % of the 1211 approved small molecule drugs were SMs or derivatives thereof. One of the biggest challenges faced by modern medicine is the emergence of bacteria resistant to current antibiotic treatment. The antibiotic resistance crisis has been attributed to the overuse and misuse of these medications, as well as a lack of new P6215PC00 drug development by the pharmaceutical industry due to reduced economic incentives and challenging regulatory requirements. Beside coordinated efforts to implement new policies worldwide, discovery of new antibiotics is crucial to provide adequate treatment to patients. Amphotericin B, which was isolated from the Actinomycete Streptomyces nodosus in 1955, is an antifungal medication used for serious fungal infections and leishmaniasis. The fungal infections it is used to treat include mucormycosis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, and cryptococcosis. Amphotericin B is considered a first-line treatment for severe fungal infections when other antifungal agents are ineffective or contraindicated, however, amphotericin B is also well known for its severe and potentially lethal side effects. Very often, it causes a serious reaction soon after infusion (within 1 to 3 hours), consisting of high fever, shaking chills, hypotension, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, headache, dyspnea and tachypnea, drowsiness, and generalized weakness. The violent chills and fevers have caused the drug to be nicknamed "shake and bake". This nearly universal febrile response necessitates a critical (and diagnostically difficult) professional determination as to whether the onset of high fever is a novel symptom of a fast-progressing disease, or merely the effect of the drug. To decrease the likelihood and severity of the symptoms, initial doses should be low, and increased slowly. Paracetamol, pethidine, diphenhydramine, and hydrocortisone have all been used to treat or prevent the syndrome, but the prophylactic use of these drugs is often limited by the patient's condition. Allergic symptoms including anaphylaxis may occur. Other serious side effects include low blood potassium and inflammation of the heart. Due to its extensive side effects, it is often reserved for severe infections in critically ill, or immunocompromised patients. Thus, it is of clinical importance to find alternative treatments to amphotericin B. In particular, compounds having a different mechanism of action than amphotericin B, and/or with a lower minimal inhibition concentration, might elicit less severe side- effects. The Actinomycete Streptomyces iranensis has been previously reported as a rapamycin-producer, and was originally isolated from soil in Isfahan city in Iran. 1 P6215PC00 Genome-mining through anti-SMASH 2 revealed that it harbors enormous biosynthetic gene clusters coding for undescribed natural products, which are potential drug candidates. 3 OSMAC-based cultivation 4 followed by LC-HRMS analysis of S. iranensis revealed its production of various unknown secondary metabolites.

Definitions The term “alkyl” refers to a straight or branched hydrocarbon chain radical consisting of carbon and hydrogen atoms, containing no unsaturation, and may be straight or branched, substituted or unsubstituted. In some preferred embodiments, the alkyl group may consist of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, e.g.1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms etc., up to and including 12 carbon atoms. Exemplary alkyl groups include, but are in no way limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n- butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl isobutyl, tertiary butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, septyl, octyl, nonyl and decyl. The alkyl moiety may be attached to the rest of the molecule by a single bond, such as for example, methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), n-propyl (Pr), 1-methylethyl (iso-propyl), n-butyl, n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl (t-butyl) and 3- methylhexyl. Unless stated otherwise specifically in the specification, an alkyl group is optionally substituted by one or more of any suitable substituents. An alkyl group can be mono-, di-, tri- or tetra-valent, as appropriate to satisfy valence requirements. The term “alkylene” by itself or as part of another substituent, means a divalent radical derived from an alkyl moiety, as exemplified, but not limited, by −CH2CH2CH2CH2−. Generally, suitable substituents for substituted groups disclosed herein independently include, but are not limited to, alkyl, heteroalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkyl, hydroxy, halo, cyano, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, nitro, trimethylsilanyl, chloride, bromide, ─OR a , ─SR a , ─OC(O)─R a , ─N(R a ) 2 , ─C(O)R a , ─C(O)OR a , ─OC(O)N(R a ) 2 , ─C(O)N(R a ) 2 , P6215PC00 ─N(R a )C(O)OR a , ─N(R a )C(O)R a , ─N(R a )C(O)N(R a ) 2 , N(R a )C(NR a )N(R a ) 2 , ─N(R a )S(O) t R a , ─N(R a )S(O) 2 R a , ─S(O)OR a , ─S(O) 2 OR a , ─S(O)N(R a ) 2 , ─S(O) 2 N(R a ) 2 , or PO 3 (R a ) 2 where each R a is independently hydrogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, carbocyclyl, carbocyclylalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, heterocycloalkyl, heterocycloalkylalkyl, heteroaryl or heteroarylalkyl. The term “nucleic acid” as used herein refers to polynucleotides such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) or a combination of the two and any chemical or enzymatic modification thereof (e.g. methylated DNA, DNA of modified nucleotides). The term should also be understood to include, as equivalents, derivatives, variants and analogs of either RNA or DNA made from nucleotide analogs, single (sense or antisense) and double-stranded polynucleotides. The term “isolated nucleic acid” as used herein refers to a nucleic acid that is separated from its native environment and present in sufficient quantity to permit its identification or use. An isolated nucleic acid may be one that is (i) amplified in vitro by, for example, polymerase chain reaction (PCR); (ii) recombinantly produced or cloned; (iii) purified, as by cleavage and gel separation; or (iv) synthesized by, for example, chemical synthesis. An isolated nucleic acid is one which is readily manipulable by recombinant DNA techniques well known in the art. Thus, a nucleotide sequence contained in a vector in which 5' and 3' restriction sites are known or for which polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer sequences have been disclosed is considered isolated but a nucleic acid sequence existing in its native state in its natural host is not. An isolated nucleic acid may be substantially purified, but need not be. For example, a nucleic acid that is isolated within a cloning or expression vector is not pure in that it may comprise a small percentage of the material of the cell in which it resides. Such a nucleic acid is isolated, however, as the term is used herein because it is readily manipulable by standard techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Any of the nucleic acids provided herein may be isolated. The term “gene” as used herein means a nucleic acid sequence that contains information necessary for expression of a polypeptide or protein. It includes the promoter and terminator and the structural gene as well as other sequences involved in expression of the protein. P6215PC00 The terms “protein” or “polypeptide” as defined herein are used interchangeably and refer to molecules consisting of a chain of amino acids, without reference to a specific mode of action, size, 3-dimensional structure or origin. A fragment or portion of a protein may thus still be referred to as a "protein". An "isolated protein" is used to refer to a protein which is no longer in its natural environment, for example in vitro. A “heterologous protein” refers to a protein which is not naturally present in the cell in which it is expressed, for example it is expressed in a recombinant bacterial or plant host cell. An enzyme is a protein having enzymatic activity. The term “vector” as defined herein means a DNA molecule capable of replication in a host cell and/or to which another DNA segment can be operatively linked so as to bring about replication of the attached segment. A plasmid is an exemplary vector. A system of vectors comprising several nucleic acids comprises a plurality of vectors, which together comprise a plurality of nucleic acids. The nucleic acids are not necessarily all on the same vector; a vector of the system of vectors may comprise several nucleic acids. For example, a system of vectors comprising five nucleic acids can be: a first vector comprising a first and a second nucleic acids, and a second vector comprising a third, a fourth and a fifth nucleic acids; or five vectors each comprising one of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth nucleic acids. The term “host cell” as defined herein refers to a cell which includes an exogenous polynucleotide, wherein the methods used to insert the exogenous polynucleotide into a cell include direct uptake, transduction, f-mating, or other methods known in the art to create recombinant host cells. By way of example only, such exogenous polynucleotide may be a non-integrated vector, including but not limited to a plasmid, or may be integrated into the host genome. The term “non-natural microorganism” as defined herein refers to a microorganism that has been manipulated to include an exogenous polynucleotide. By way of example only, such exogenous polynucleotide may be a non-integrated vector, including but not limited to a plasmid, or may be integrated into the host genome. A non-natural microorganism may thus express a heterologous protein, i.e. a protein which is not naturally found in the microorganism. P6215PC00 The terms homology, identity and similarity, with respect to a polynucleotide (or polypeptide), as defined herein are used interchangeably and refer to the percentage of nucleic acids (or amino acids) in the candidate sequence that are homolog, identical or similar, respectively, to the residues of a corresponding native nucleic acids (or amino acids), after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent homology/identity / similarity, and considering any conservative substitutions according to the NCIUB rules (hftp://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb/misc/naseq.html; NC-IUB, Eur J Biochem (1985)) as part of the sequence identity. In particular, the percentage of similarity refers to the percentage of residues conserved with similar physiochemical properties. Neither 5' or 3' extensions nor insertions (for nucleic acids) or N’ or C’ extensions nor insertions (for polypeptides) result in a reduction of identity or similarity. Methods and computer programs for the alignments are well known in the art. Generally, a given similarity between two sequences implies that the identity between these sequences is at least equal to the similarity; for example, if two sequences are 70% identical to one another, they cannot be less than 70% similar to one another – but could be sharing 80% similarity or more. As defined herein the term “at least 70% homology, similarity or identity” means at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95% homology, similarity or identity throughout the present disclosure. The term “functional variant” refers herein to functional variants of a parent polypeptide, such as an enzyme, which retain at least some of the activity of the parent polypeptide, such as the parent enzyme. Thus, a functional variant of a Type I PKS can catalyse the same conversion as the enzymes from which they are derived, although the efficiency of reaction may be different, e.g. the efficiency is decreased or increased compared to the parent enzyme, the substrate specificity is modified, the longevity or turnover of the enzyme is modified, the cellular localisation of the enzyme is modified. How to test whether the functionality of the functional variant is modified compared to the original polypeptide is well within reach of the skilled person. It can for example be assessed by purifying the functional variant, e.g. using an affinity tag, and comparing its activity on a given substrate in vitro to the activity of the parent polypeptide. P6215PC00 A variant of a nucleic acid, as understood herein, is a variant of a given nucleic acid, preferably DNA, sequence, which given sequence encodes a given polypeptide. A variant in this context refers to a nucleic acid which differs from the given nucleic acid, but still encodes a functional polypeptide. In other words, the term variant encompasses all sequences encoding the same polypeptide as the given nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the variant encodes a polypeptide, the sequence of which differs from the sequence of the given polypeptide, but retains all or at least part of the functionality of the given polypeptide. In some embodiments, a variant may thus encode a polypeptide which has lower (but not null) functionality as the given polypeptide, or similar functionality as the given polypeptide, or higher functionality as the given polypeptide. How to test whether the functionality of the polypeptide obtained from the variant is modified compared to the given polypeptide is well within reach of the skilled person. It can for example be assessed by purifying the resulting polypeptide, e.g. using an affinity tag, and assaying its activity on a given substrate in vitro. The term “spiro-fused ring” as defined herein is meant to include two molecular rings with only one common atom. The term “beta-lactone ring” as defined herein is meant to include cyclic carboxylic esters, containing a 1-oxacycloalkan-2-one structure (−C(=O)−O−), or analogues having unsaturation or heteroatoms replacing one or more carbon atoms of the 4- membered ring. The term “microorganism” as defined herein is meant to include a bacterium, yeast and/or fungus. The term “antibiotic-resistant bacteria” as defined herein is meant to include bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics routinely used in the clinics. The term “mg/kg” as defined herein refers to a concentration of a certain amount of mg of the compound as defined herein per one kg of a recipient, wherein the recipient can be an animal, an agricultural product, and/or the soil. P6215PC00 The term “agricultural products” as defined herein is meant to include agricultural, horticultural, viticultural, and dairy products, livestock and the products thereof, the products of poultry and bee raising, the edible products of forestry, and any and all products raised or produced on farms and processed or manufactured products thereof, transported or intended to be transported in interstate and/or foreign commerce. A list encompassing agricultural products can be consulted in Annex I of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (https://eur- lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:12012E/TXT: en:PDF).

P6215PC00 Examples Example 1 – General Experimental Procedures Strain fermentation and isolation. Streptomyces iranensis DSM 41954 was ordered from the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH (DSMZ). The strain was cultivated in medium 2 (CaCl 2 ·2H 2 O, 3.0 g; citric acid/Fe III, 1.0 g; MnSO 4 ·H 2 O, 0.2 g; ZnCl 2 , 0.1 g; CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O, 0.025 g; Na 2 B 4 O 2 ·10H 2 O, 0.02 g; NaMoO 4 ·2H 2 O, 0.01 g; and oatmeal, 20.0 g, in 1.0 L distilled water), at 175 L scale in a 300 L fermentor vessel. The fermentation was carried out for 6 days with aeration of 25–50 L min –1 , stirring at 200 rpm with a temperature of 28 °C, and at a pH range of 5.4–6.4. The fermentation broth was filtered and loaded onto an Amberchrom 161c resin LC column (200 × 20 cm, 6 L). Elution with a linear gradient of H2O–MeOH (from 30% to 100% v/v, flow rate 0.5 L min–1, in 58 min) afforded seven fractions (A–G). Fraction G was firstly fractionated by silica gel chromatography with a CH2Cl2/CH3OH gradient to yield 16 fractions, F01-F16. F07 was further separated by a Sephadex LH- 20 (MeOH) column, and twelve sub-fractions were obtained. The fourth sub-fraction was separated by HPLC RP-C 18 (AcCN/H 2 O as gradient) to afford spirolactone (5.3 mg). Spirolactone: white solid; [^]^^ ^ 6 (6.5 mg/mL, CH 3 OH), CD UV (CH 3 CN/H 2 O) λ max 230, 270 nm; ECD λext (Δε) (CH3OH) 235 (–9.78), 267 (7.02), 301 (–3.31) nm; IR (ATR) vmax 2932, 2748, 2704, 1810, 1713, 1686, 1619, 1457, 1382, 1173, 1134, 1085, 1057, 1013, 991, 947 cm -1 ; (+)-HRESIMS m/z 876.5112 [M + NH4] + (calcd for C47H70O14, 876.5104). 1 H NMR see Table 2. Example 2 – Determination of spirolactone structure S. iranensis was firstly cultivated in six different media based on an OSMAC approach. Using MSDial coupled with NIST library search, we found that a novel natural product m/z [M+NH 4 ] + 876.5112 was produced in the culture broth. To discover and elucidate the chemical structure, the fermentation was scaled up (200 L), and the organic extract was subjected to open-column chromatography on Amberchrom 161c resin, silica gel, and Sephadex LH-20, yielding a new macrolide, which was named “spirolactone” (10.0 mg). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by 2D NMR data, mass P6215PC00 and CD spectroscopy. NMR spectra were recorded on 800 MHz Bruker Avance III spectrometer equipped with a TCI CryoProbe using standard pulse sequences. NMR data were processed using MestReNova 11.0. UHPLC-HRMS was performed on an Agilent Infinity 1290 UHPLC system equipped with a diode array detector. UV-Vis spectra were recorded from 190 to 640 nm. Specific rotations were acquired using Perkin-Elmer 241 polarimeter. ECD spectra were obtained on a JASCO J-1500 CD Spectrometer. IR data were acquired on Bruker Alpha FTIR spectrometer using OPUS version 7.2. X-ray TLC analysis was performed on silica gel plates (Sil G/UV254, 0.20 mm, Macherey- Nagel). Biotage Isolera One Flash Chromatography system was used for flash chromatography and performed on silica gel 60 (Merck, 0.04–0.063 mm, 230–400 mesh ASTM). Sephadex LH-20 was from Pharmacia. All solvents and chemicals used for HRMS and chromatography were VWR Chemicals LC-MS grade, while for metabolites extraction, the solvents were of HPLC grade (VWR Chemicals). Spirolactone was isolated as a white solid. HRMS confirmed its molecular formula as C47H70O14. 1 H NMR spectrum revealed signals for six methyl groups H3-39 (δ 2.15), H3-41 (δ 0.94), H3-43 (δ 0.98), H3-44 (δ 0.93), H3-45 (δ 2.10), and H8-OMe (δ 3.37). Additionally, four olefinic protons were observed for H2 (δ 6.19), H3 (δ 7.91), (δ 6.47) and H28 (δ 6.48). The coupling constant between H-2 and H-3 (J 15.4 Hz) confirmed a trans-orientation of a double bond. Besides the presence of several oxygen-bearing methines (H-6, H-8, H-10, H-14, H-16 and H-22), various other aliphatic proton signals could be observed. The 13 C NMR spectrum showed signals for an ester carbonyl C1 (δ 168.6), three keto- groups C12 (δ 207.3), C27 (δ 201.3) and C38 (δ 209.6) and two ester groups C40 (δ 161.8) and C47 (δ 174.9). Furthermore, signals were observed for six olefinic methines C2 (δ 128.5), C3 (δ 137.8), C4 (δ 129.1), C5 (δ143.2), C28 (δ 123.0) and C29 (δ 156.4). Finally, signals for the methyl groups C39 (δ 29.9), C41 (δ 8.4), C42 (δ 9.2), C43 (δ 14.3), C44 (δ 19.5), C45 (δ 17.4) and the oxygenated methyl group C8-OMe (δ 59.6) were also observed. The chemical shift of C-18 (δ 101.0) indicated the presence of an acetal moeity. The 1 H and 13 C NMR data of spirolactone is shown in Table 2.

HMBC correlations (Figure 2) further established a beta-lactone moiety as HMBC correlations between H-4, H-6 and C-40 (16) were observed. A further connection of this beta-lactone to a polyene moiety was established by HMBC correlations between H-6 and C-4, and H-6 and C-40. A macrolactone bridge between H-10 and C-46 established by HMBC correlation between the H-10 and C-46. The key HMBC correlation between H-13 and C-18 indicated the presence of an oxane ring. Moreover, H-16 and Me-43 showed HMBC correlations with C-18. Considering the double bond equivalence and number of oxygen atoms inferred from HRMS, a spiroketal structure was proposed. Finally, a planar structure with a novel carbon skeleton was proposed. The complex structure exhibited no similarities to reported natural products. Meanwhile, the dispersion of the thirteen chiral centers made it challenging to elucidate the absolute configuration. Crystal Data. Interestingly, the compound could form crystals in dichloromethane/methanol solution. A suitable crystal was selected and mounted in a nylon loop directly from an ethanol suspension and frozen in liquid nitorgen on a Synchrotron diffractometer. The crystal was kept at 100 K during data collection. X-ray data collection of Spirolactonce was performed on an Agilent Supernova Diffractometer using CuKα radiation. Data were processed and scaled using the CrysAlisPro software (Agilent Technologies). Using Olex2 [8], the structure was solved with the XT [9] structure solution program using Intrinsic Phasing and refined with the SHELXL [10] refinement package using Least Squares minimisation. Hydrogen atoms were included on ideal positions using riding coordinates. The absolute configuration was determined based on the Flack parameter. One crystal was subjected to X-ray crystallography analysis, which successfully elucidated the configurations (Figure 3). Example 3 – Spirolactone as a novel antifungal lead Spirolactone represents an unprecedented macrolactone structure, featuring a rare beta-lactone ring as well as a spirolketal moiety. To investigate its biosynthetic P6215PC00 pathway, the present inventors firstly examined its potential retro-biosynthesis, which indicated its biosynthesis via a hybrid of polyketide and fatty acid-derived units. The unusual biosynthesis involves an incorporation of a beta-lactone starting unit and uptake of an acyl carboxylic acid chain via nucleophilic attack aided lactonization. The proposed biosynthesis is shown in Figure 4. Then, the inventors carried out genome- mining using anti-SMASH. In total, nine modular type I PKS BGCs were predicted. One PKS (Figure 5) with 16 AT domains was proposed to be the core enzyme. The identity of the biosynthetic gene cluster was confirmed with CRISPR-cas9 mutant on the core polyketide gene (Figure 6). Example 4 – Spirolactone as a novel antifungal lead Minimal Inhibition Concentration (Table 3) of spirolactone was tested against eight test strains Aspergillus fumigatus IBT29089, Aspergillus niger IBT30071, Aspergillus flavus IBT30114, Aspergillus nidulans IBT23742, Aspergillus tubingensis IBT23488, Aspergillus terreus IBT6207, Alternaria solani IBT7718 and Alternaria solani As112. Agar diffusion assay (Figure 7) was tested against Aspergillus nidulans IBT23742, Aspergillus niger IBT30071 and Aspergillus flavus IBT30114. Results are shown in Table 3. Table 3. MIC values for spirolactone and amphotericin b. P6215PC00 The procedure was following the EUCAST standard method (EUCAST: MIC and zone distributions and ECOFFs - https://www.eucast.org/mic_distributions_and_ecoffs/). Amphotericin b was used as a positive control. The test strains were derived from DTU Bioengineering fungal IBT culture collection of fungi. (IBT = World Federation of Culture Collections (WFCC) no.758). Example 5 – Spirolactone as a novel antibiotic lead To investigate whether spirolactone can be used as a potential antibiotic, it was subjected to antibacterial test against two bacteria S. aureus and V. anguillarum. It exhibited strong antibacterial activity against the Gram positive bacterium S. aureus in an agar diffusion assay, with an inhibition zone of 19 mm (50 μg/well) while no activity of against the Gram negative bacterium V. anguillarum. Antimicrobial activity test. The antimicrobial activity of spirolactone was assessed against the Gram-negative fish pathogen V. anguillarum strain 90-11-287 8 and the Gram-positive human pathogen S. aureus strain 8325 9 in a well diffusion agar assay. The pathogens were seeded in Instant Ocean (IO) agar plates containing 3% Instant Ocean (Aquarium Systems Inc.), 3.33 g L −1 Casamino acids, 4 g L −1 glucose, and 10 g L −1 agar. 10 A volume of 50 µL of spirolactone in MeOH (100 µg/100 µL) were added to wells (diameter = 4 mm; distance between the wells = 32−38 mm) punched into the agar plate alongside medium and MeOH control. Siamycin was used as positive control. Following 24 h incubation at 25 o C, the diameters of the resulting inhibition zones were measured. References 1. Hamedi, J.; Mohammadipanah, F.; Klenk, H.
