Actinobacteria may be one of the most abundant sources to find natural bioactive products. Due to the fact that most of the actinobacteria strains have been studied for a long time, we focus on finding actinobacteria strains from deep ocean or gut of insects. In the gut of Tenebrio molitor, which is in the order of Coleoptera, an actinobacterium strain, GG23, was isolated. After incubating this strain for several days, some special compounds, Lydiamycin and its derivatives came out.

The cyclodepsipeptides lydiamycins A, B, C and D were obtained as white solids by standard chromatographic procedures from a 300-L fermentation of the strain. High-resolution ESIMS of the Na adduct of lydiamycin A (1)indicated a molecular formula of C₃₁H₄₉NaN₇O₉ ([M Na] , m/z: found 686.3495, calcd. 686.3489). Like the IR spectrum with characteristic absorption bands of amide carbonyls at 1663 and 1539 cm^-1 and ester carbonyls at 1745 cm^-1 , the NMR data showed typical characteristics of peptides, for example, resonances for amide carbonyls in the ¹³C NMR spectrum and for amide and a protons in the ¹ H NMR spectrum. Signals for five amino acid a carbons (delta;C = 50.5, 50.7, 51.4, 52.7, 55.6 ppm)and seven carbonyls, either of amide or carboxylic acid origin (delta;C = 169.1, 169.3, 169.7, 170.9, 174.3, 175.9, 177.3 ppm)were found. As fragment ion peaks commonly observed for acyclic peptides were not noted in the CID ESIMS/MS data, a cyclic oligopeptide structure was proposed for 1.

Based on analysis of the 2D NMR data, 1 was determined to contain alanine (Ala), leucine (Leu), Serine (ser), PBB (piperazic acid building block 1, PBB1), dehydropiperazic acid (piperazic acid building block 2, PBB2), and 2-pentylsuccinic acid (PSA)moieties. The two unusual heterocyclic amino acids were confirmed by comparison to literature data.^[2,3] The presence of long-range couplings (ⁿJ_C,H, HMBC)suggested amide linkages between the leucine carbonyl and the alanine amine, between the alanine carbonyl and the piperazic acid d-amine, between the serine carbonyl and the leucine amine, and between the dehydropiperazic acid carbonyl and the serine amine. This data, combined with indication of an ester linkage between the piperazic acid carbonyl and the serine beta;-OH, established the structure as a thirteen-membered cyclic depsipeptide, with the dehydropiperazic acid moiety located peripheral to the ring.

For the determination of the absolute configurations, an acidic hydrolysate was generated according to the Marfey protocol.^[4-6] Subsequent HPLC analysis indicated the presence of L-alanine, D-leucine, and L-serine. However, piperazic acid derivatives could not be detected in the hydrolysate. Instead, the stereochemistry of the piperazic acid moiety PBB1 was determined through conformational analysis and computation with an MM force field. The assignment of H-2 (delta;H = 5.15 ppm, br d, 3.1 Hz in [D₄]methanol)in the equatorial position, as well as discrimination between H_ax and H_eq at C-5 was possible through their ³J_H,H coupling data and NOE correlations of H-2 with H_eq-3 (delta;H = 2.35 ppm)and H_ax-3 (delta;H = 1.77 ppm)and between H_ax-5 (delta;H = 2.75 ppm, br dq, 3.8 and 13.5 Hz in CDCl3)and H_ax-3 (delta;H = 1.77 ppm). Based on this information along with X-ray results of other piperazic acid containing depsipetides, we assumed a chair conformation for PBB1 in 1.^[7] Molecular dynamic force field calculations and subsequent ab initio calculations were carried out for the peptide core (including PBB2)for both possible configurations of C-2 in PBB1.^[8] The lowest energy conformation for each diastereomer was confirmed after intermediate annealing processes. Owing to the small size of the peptide ring, the two three-dimensional structures are almost planar, which is consistent with the lack of NOEs between nonvicinal amino acids. The two diastereomeric structures can be distinguished by noting the significant difference in the distance between 5- H_ax and Ala-CH3 : 4.06 E in the case of the 2R of PBB1 and 2.65 E in the case of 2S. A rough estimate of the distance between H_ax-5 (delta;H = 2.75 ppm)and Ala-CH3 (delta;H = 1.43 ppm)by the ROESY peak volumina, when calibrated against the correlation between H-2 and CH₃ of the alanine residue, yielded a distance of 4.1 E (5% intensity). Thus, the 2R configuration was suggested for PBB1. The absolute configuration at C-2 of PBB2 could not be assigned. The configuration cannot be rationalized by biosynthetic relationships, as related compounds include two piperazic acid building blocks with different configurations.^[2]
