Abstract
Four novel glycosylated derivatives of versipelostatin (1), versipelostatins B–E (2–5), were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces versipellis 4083-SVS6. The inhibitory activities of the isolated compounds against the expression of molecular chaperone GRP78 induced by 2-deoxyglucose were evaluated. Of the five versipelostatin family members, 1 and 4 were the more potent with IC50 values of 3.5 and 4.3 µM. These results suggest that the α-L-oleandropyranosyl (1→4)-β-D-digitoxopyranosyl residue in the sugar moiety may play an important role in down-regulating GRP78 expression induced by 2-deoxyglucose.
