  • Shimojilide, a Potent and Selective Antiproliferative Cyclic Lipopeptide from a Marine Cyanobacterium Okeania sp.

    Niiyama M., Kurisawa N., Dan S., Suenaga K.

    Organic Letters 28 ( 5 ) 1810 - 1814 2026.02

    ISSN  15237060

     View Summary

    Shimojilide (1), a new cyclic lipopeptide, was isolated from a marine cyanobacterium Okeania sp. Its structure was elucidated by NMR and chemical derivatization, revealing a peptide–polyketide hybrid with a skipped diene and β-branched methyl group. Shimojilide (1) exhibited potent and selective antiproliferative activity with a unique JFCR39 fingerprint that poorly correlates with those of known anticancer agents, suggesting a distinct mechanism of action. Shimojilide (1) represents a promising lead for anticancer drug discovery.

  • Zampamide: A lipopeptide isolated from Caldora sp. marine cyanobacterium

    Tojo S., Ozaki K., Natsume N., Kurisawa N., Suenaga K., Teruya T.

    Tetrahedron 188 2025.12

    ISSN  00404020

     View Summary

    Overweight and obesity are pathological conditions characterized by the accumulation of excessive fat. Adipokines, which are secreted by hypertrophied adipocytes, are known to increase the risk of various diseases. Therefore, identifying compounds that promote lipolysis in adipocytes is a promising way to prevent hypertrophy of these cells. Although numerous bioactive compounds have been isolated from marine cyanobacteria, reports on compounds exhibiting such activity remain limited. In this study, we report the discovery of zampamide (1), a linear lipopeptide that stimulates lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. It was isolated from a marine cyanobacterium of the genus Caldora collected in Okinawa, Japan. The planar structure of 1 was elucidated primarily using two-dimensional NMR and mass spectrometry. The absolute configurations of the amino acid residues in 1 were determined after acid hydrolysis, followed by Marfey's analysis of the resulting hydrolysates. Additionally, the absolute configuration of the fatty acid moiety was determined by derivatization. Zampamide (1) increased the amount of free glycerol in a dose-dependent manner, demonstrating its lipolysis-promoting activity. These findings suggest that marine cyanobacteria are a valuable source of novel lipolysis-promoting agents for obese and overweight patients.

  • Bisezakiamides A and B, cyclic depsipeptides from a marine cyanobacterium Nunduva sp.

    Yagisawa K., Natsume N., Watanabe N., Iwasaki A., Suenaga K., Teruya T.

    Tetrahedron 184 2025.10

    ISSN  00404020

     View Summary

    Two cyclic peptides, bisezakiamides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from a marine cyanobacterium from the coastal waters of Okinawa, Japan. Both compounds contain an α-hydroxy acid residue and a β-amino acid. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analyses, including various two-dimensional NMR techniques and application of Marfey's analysis. Both compounds exhibited growth-inhibitory activity against HeLa S3 cells, with IC<inf>50</inf> values of 8.7 and 5.8 μM for compounds 1 and 2, respectively.

  • Isolation and Computer-Based Structural Determination of Madangolide B

    Hagihara M., Mehjabin J.J., Vairappan C.S., Okino T., Suenaga K., Iwasaki A.

    Organic Letters 27 ( 25 ) 6807 - 6811 2025.06

    ISSN  15237060

     View Summary

    Madangolide (1) is a 17-membered cyclic enamide isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya bouillonii. Since its discovery in 1999, the relative and absolute configurations of 1 have remained unknown. Here, we report the isolation, structural determination, and biological activity of a new analog of madangolide (1), madangolide B (2), from a marine Moorena sp. cyanobacterium. The planar structure of 2 was established using conventional two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The absolute configuration was clarified by comparing the experimental and theoretical data, including the chemical shifts, homonuclear and heteronuclear coupling constants, and ECD spectra. Based on the similarity of the NMR data, we proposed an absolute configuration of madangolide (1) and verified it through degradation and derivatization reactions. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of modern computational chemistry in revealing the stereochemistry of complex natural products with conformational flexibility.

  • Ouhanamide, an Antiparasitic Linear Lipopeptide from a Marine Okeania sp. Cyanobacterium

    Niiyama M., Kurisawa N., Umeda K., Jeelani G., Agusta A.L., Nozaki T., Suenaga K.

    Journal of Natural Products 88 ( 6 ) 1360 - 1368 2025.06

    ISSN  01633864

     View Summary

    Ouhanamide (1), a new linear lipopeptide consisting of a long-chain fatty acid with a β-branched methyl group, was isolated from a marine Okeania sp. cyanobacterium. The overall structure was elucidated by a combination of various spectroscopic analyses, degradation reactions, and derivatizations. Ouhanamide (1) showed selective antiparasitic activity (IC<inf>50</inf> = 1.2 ± 0.1 μM against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and IC<inf>50</inf> = 4.2 ± 0.9 μM against Plasmodium falciparum) without cytotoxicity at 10 μM against HeLa cells.
