Structural and Bioactivity Characterization of Filipin Derivatives from Engineered Streptomyces filipinensis Strains Reveals Clues for Reduced Haemolytic Action
The rise in the number of immunocompromised patients has led to an increased incidence of fungal infections, with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, misuse of antifungals has boosted the number of resistant strains to these agents; thus, there is urgent need for new drugs against th...

description | The rise in the number of immunocompromised patients has led to an increased incidence of fungal infections, with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, misuse of antifungals has boosted the number of resistant strains to these agents; thus, there is urgent need for new drugs against these infections. Here, the in vitro antifungal activity of filipin III metabolic intermediates has been characterized against a battery of opportunistic pathogenic fungi—Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, Cryptococcus neoformans, Trichosporon cutaneum, Trichosporon asahii, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus fumigatus—using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute broth microdilution method. Structural characterization of these compounds was undertaken by mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) following HPLC purification. Complete NMR assignments were obtained for the first time for filipins I and II. In vitro haemolytic assays revealed that the haemolytic action of these compounds relies largely on the presence of a hydroxyl function at C26, since derivatives lacking such moiety show remarkably reduced activity. Two of these derivatives, 1′-hydroxyfilipin I and filipin I, show decreased toxicity towards cholesterol-containing membranes while retaining potent antifungal activity, and could constitute excellent leads for the development of efficient pharmaceuticals, particularly against Cryptococcosis. |
