Abstract

:
In the proposed review, the pharmacological profile of unique, rare, and unusual fatty acids derived from natural amides is considered. These amides are produced by various microorganisms, lichens, and fungi. The biological activity of some natural fatty acid amides has been determined by their isolation from natural sources, but the biological activity of fatty acids has not been practically studied. According to QSAR data, the biological activity of fatty acids is shown, which demonstrated strong antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory activities. Moreover, some fatty acids have shown rare activities such as antidiabetic, anti-infective, anti-eczematic, antimutagenic, and anti-psoriatic activities. For some fatty acids that have pronounced biological properties, 3D graphs are shown that show a graphical representation of unique activities. These data are undoubtedly of both theoretical and practical interest for chemists, pharmacologists, as well as for the pharmaceutical industry, which is engaged in the synthesis of biologically active drugs.

1. Introduction

The amide bond is one of the most prevalent and widespread linkages in nature [1]. Natural fatty acid amides (R-COO-NR1R2) have many potential pharmacological uses because they have different biological activities or enzyme inhibitors [2,3,4]. Fatty acid amides are a diverse family of underappreciated biologically active lipids [1,2,3,4,5,6].
This article is a review of rare and unusual fatty acids (FA) derived from naturally occurring amides that are produced by fungal endophytes, lichenized ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, actinomycetes, and related microorganisms. The natural compounds presented in this review are of great scientific interest, and many of them demonstrate a wide range of biological activities and have strong antimicrobial, antifungal, phototoxic, HIV-inhibiting, antitumor, immunosuppressive, and other pharmacologically useful properties [7,8,9,10,11,12,13], which is of great interest, especially for medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and the pharmaceutical industry [14,15,16,17]. This review is devoted to the biological activity of fatty acids included in amides.

2. Fatty Acids Derived from Microorganisms and Fungi

Two polycyclopropane FA amides—U-106305 and FR-900848 (1, structure FA see Figure 1)—were isolated from microbiological sources. Thus, antibiotic U-106305 was produced by Actinomycete Streptomyces sp. [18], and Streptoverticillium fervens (syn: Streptomyces fervens) produced antibiotic, FR-900848, which has strong antifungal activity against filamentous fungi: Aspergillus niger, Mucor rouxianus, Aureobasidium pullulans, Penicillium chrysogenum, Trichophyton metagrophytes, T. astervides, T. rubrum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Sclerotinia arachidis [19].
Perinadine A (for structure, see Figure 1), a tetracyclic alkaloid isolated from from marine-derived fungus Penicillium citrinum (see Figure 2), contains FA (2). Perinadine A demonstrated insignificant cytotoxicity against murine leukemia L1210 cells, and antibacterial activity against Micrococcus luteus and Bacilius subtilis [20]. The 3D graph that shows the predicted and calculated antifungal, antiviral, and antineoplastic activity of FR-900848 and FA (1) is shown in Figure 3. FA (2) was found in scalusamide A, and scalusamide B and C contain a similly FA (3, for structure see Figure 4) and (4), respectively. The fungus Penicillium citrinum produces scalusamides that have been isolated from the broth during mycelium cultivation [21]. Two epimeric alkaloids, namely tumonoic acids K (with (S,E)-2-methyl-3-oxodec-8-enoic acid (5) and L (with (R,E)-2-methyl-3-oxodec-8-enoic acid (6), were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Penicillium citrinum and showed cytotoxic activity against A-375 cell lines [22].
Antibiotic viridenomycin (for structure, see Figure 1) with fatty acid (FA V) was isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces viridochromogenes strain No T-24146 and shows strong activity against Trichomonas vaginalis and gram-positive bacteria [23].
Figure 1 shows samples of natural FA amides isolated from actinomycetes Streptomyces and Penicillium and shows fatty acid amide bonds. Table 1 demonstrates the biological activity of both whole molecules of FA amides.
A unique nucleoside polycyclopropane antibiotic named FR-900848 is known to exhibit strong antifungal activity as shown in numerous experimental studies [24,25,26]. The software PASS has also shown that this antibiotic exhibits strong antifungal activity with 92% confidence (see Table 1). Another interesting property of this antibiotic is the anticancer activity, which was also found in experimental work [27,28,29], and PASS confirms these data. However, unique (2E,4E)-5-((1R,1′R,1″R,1‴R,2S,2′R,2″R,2‴S)-2‴-((E)-2-((1R,2R)-2-methylcyclopropyl)vinyl)-[1,1′:2′,1″:2″,1‴-quartercyclopropan]-2-yl)penta-2,4-dienoic acid (1) exhibits antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties to a greater extent.
Another pseudopeptide named perinadine A, which is synthesized by marine-derived fungus Penicillium citrinum (see Figure 2), showed strong cytotoxicity against murine leukemia L1210 cells, and these data are confirmed by PASS. The (E)-2-methyl-3-oxodec-8-enoic acid (2) of this pseudopeptide also shows antineoplastic activity.
Viridenomycin, which also belongs to the class of amides, is represented by an acid (FA V) and an amino alcohol, demonstrates antineoplastic activity against sarcoma as well as its FA, although the amino alcohol shows antiviral activity against Arbovirus (data are shown in Table 1).
The phytopathogenic fungus Pestalotiopsis theae, which was isolated from branches of Camellia sinensis, afforded amides, pestalaminde A, which contain unusual 6-benzyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-3-carboxylic acid (7), and both pestalamindes, A and B contain (S)-2-methylsuccinic acid (8) [30]. Pestalaminde B inhibited HIV-1 replication in C8166 cells and exhibited potent antifungal activity against A. fumigatus.
A marine-derived Streptomyces sp. CNQ-085 produces antitumor antibiotics designated as daryamides A, B, and C [31]. Both daryamides contain (2E,4E)-7-methylocta-2,4-dienoic acid (9), and daryamide C contains (2E,4E)-6-methylhepta-2,4-dienoic acid (10).
The chlorine containing manumycin derivatives named chinikomycins A and B have been found in extracts of Streptomyces sp. M045, which is obtained from sediment (Jiaozhou Bay, China). Both compounds displayed anti-tumour activity against several human cancer cell lines, and these metabolites contain (R,2E,4E)-2,4,6-trimethyldeca-2,4-dienoic acid (11) [32].
Jomthonic acids A, B, and C were found in the culture fluid of actinomycetes of the genus Streptomyces, and only jomthonic acid A induced the differentiation of preadipocytes into mature adipocytes [33]. (2E,4E)-4-methylhexa-2,4-dienoic acid (12) was found in jomthonic acid A and C.
Spirocyclic and bicyclic hemiacetals such as isariotins E, F, and TK-57-164A were detected in lipid extracts in the entomopathogenic fungus Isaria tenuipes BCC 12625. It is known from published sources that isariotin F exhibited activity against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum K1, and cytotoxic activities against cancer cell lines (KB, BC, and NCI-H187) and non-malignant (Vero) cells. All isolated compounds contain (E)-dodec-2-enoic acid (13) [34].
Manumycin A contain (R,2E,4E)-2,4,6-trimethyldeca-2,4-dienoic acid (11), which was found in chinikomycin A and B. Antibiotic U-56407 was isolated from fermentations of Streptomyces hagronensis (strain 360) with (E)-4,6,8-trimethyl-nona-2,7-dienoic acid (14) was active in vitro against gram-positive bacteria [35].
Asukamycins A-II, B-II, C-II, D-II, and E-II are polyketides that are members of the manumycin family of antibiotics and exhibit potent antineoplastic, antifungal, and antibacterial activities that have been found and identified from lipid extracts of the actinomycete bacterium Streptomyces nodosus subsp. asukaensis [36]. Asukamycin B and asukamycin B-II contain (2E,4E,6E)-8-methylnona-2,4,6-trienoic acid (15). Asukamycin C and asukamycin C-II contain (2E,4E,6E)-9-methyldeca-2,4,6-trienoic acid (16). Asukamycin D and asukamycin D-II contain (2E,4E,6E)-8-methyldeca-2,4,6-trienoic acid (17), and asukamycin E and asukamycin E-II contain (2E,4E,6E)-10-methylundeca-2,4,6-trienoic acid (18).
Antitumor antibiotics named TMC-1 A, B, C, and D were obtained from a fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. A-230. These antibiotics showed strong cytotoxic activities against various tumor cell lines in vitro: HCT-1 16 (human colon carcinoma), SW480 (human colon adenocarcinoma), Saos-2 (humanosteogenic sarcoma), WiDr (human colon adenocarcinoma), OVCAR-3 (human ovarian adenocarcinoma), HL-60 (human promyelocytic leukemia), HeLa S3 (human epitheloid carcinoma), and P388D1 (murine lymphoid neoplasm), and manumycin A exhibited antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis [37]. (E)-2,4-dimethyloct-2-enoic acid (18) TMC-1A, (E)-2,6-dimethyloct-2-enoic acid (19) TMC-1B, (2E,4E)-4,6-dimethyldeca-2,4-dienoic acid (20) TMC-1C, and (E)-4,6-dimethyldec-2-enoic acid (21) TMC-1D.
It is known that inhibitors of the enzyme, EI-1511-3, -5, EI-1625-2, U-56, 407, manumycins A, B, and G, converting interleukin-1β were found in the culture broths of Streptomyces sp. selectively inhibited the activity of recombinant human ICE [38]. EI-1511-5 contains FA (15), EI-1625-3 contains (2E,4E)-7-methylocta-2,4-dienoic acid (9), and (E)-4-methyloct-2-enoic acid (23) was found in EI-1625-2.
A halophilic strain of Streptomyces isolated from a salt pan on Shinui Island (Korea) is a producer of salternamides A–D. Salternamide A, which is the first chlorinated compound in the manumycin family, is an inhibitor of a human colon cancer cell line (HCT116) and a gastric cancer cell line (SNU638). Salternamides A and D have been found to be inhibitors of Na+/K+ ATPase [39]. Salternamides A and C contain (4S,6R,E)-4,6,8-trimethylnona-2,7-dienoic acid (24), and salternamide E contains (4S,6S,E)-4,6,8-trimethylnon-2-enoic acid (25).
Colabomycin A and D [40] were isolated from Streptomyces griseoflavus TU 2880 [41,42], and antimicrobial antibiotic U-62162 was found in Streptomyces verdensis UC-8157 [43]. Colabomycin A and D consist of (2E,4E,6Z,8E)-deca-2,4,6,8-tetraenoic acid (26) and (2E,4E,6E,8E)-deca-2,4,6,8-tetraenoic acid (27), respectively. It is known that colabomycin E inhibited IL-1β release from THP-1 cells and might thus potentially act as an anti-inflammatory agent [44], and it is produced by a strain of Streptomyces aureus (see Figure 5). Several FA with different properties has been found in isolated antibiotics. Thus, colabomycin E has a (2E,4E,6E,8Z,10E)-dodeca-2,4,6,8,10-pentaenoic acid (28), colabomycin F has an FA (14), colabomycin G—FA (15), dinocolabomycin E has an FA (15), and dinocolabomycin A has an FA (29), respectively.
From the culture solution of Streptomyces limosus was obtained a yellow crystalline, nitrogenous dye stuff that limocrocin was isolated [45]. Rare polyenoic (2E,4E,6E,8E,10E,12E,14E)-hexadeca-2,4,6,8,10,12,14-heptaenedioic acid (30) is present in limocrocin. Figure 6 demonstrates in a 3D graph the predicted and calculated antiviral activity of a rare FA (30), and activity is presented in Table 2.
Antimycin is a mixture of closely related antibiotics produced by Streptomyces sp. [46,47]. Many known antibiotics belonging to the antimycin A family are produced by Streptomyces species [48,49,50,51], and these compounds have significant antifungal activity and act by blocking the electron transport chain through inhibition of the cytochrome bc1 complex [48,49]. Several FA were contain in antimycin derivatives: (S)-2-((1S,2R)-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)octanoic acid (31, 3D graph see Figure 6, right side) in A1a, A1b, A2a, A2b, A15, and A16 (S)-2-((1S,2R)-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)hexanoic acid A3a, A3b, A4a, A4b, A9, A11, A13 (32), (2S,3S,4R)-2-ethyl-3,4-dihydroxypentanoic acid in A5, A6 (33), and (2S,3S,4R)-3,4-dihydroxy-2-isobutylpentanoic acid has been found in A7a, A7b, A8, A12, and A14 (34).

3. Structure–Activity Relationships and Biological Activities of Natural FA Amides

Numerous works in the field of pharmacology have shown that the chemical structure of natural chemical molecules predetermines their biological activity, and their mutual relationships can be described as the structure-activity relationships (SAR). Historical studies have shown that the idea of dependence of activity on the structure of a chemical molecule was first proposed by Brown and Fraser more than 150 years ago, in 1868 [183]. However, according to other data, this was done by Kross in 1863, who established a relationship between the toxicity of primary aliphatic alcohols and their solubility in water [184]. It was established by historians that more than 30 years later Richet in 1893 [185], Meyer in 1899 [186], and Overton in 1901 [187] independently discovered a linear correlation between lipophilicity and biological effects. Additionally, in 1935, Hammett [188,189] described a method for considering the influence of substituents on reaction mechanisms using an equation in which two parameters were considered, namely, the substituent constant and the reaction constant. Moreover, in 1956, Taft made an addition to the Hammett model and proposed an approach to separating the polar, steric, and resonant effects of substituents in aliphatic compounds [190]. Hansch and Fujita, developing these ideas, combined all previous developments and laid the mechanistic basis for the development of the QSAR method [191], and the Hansch linear equation and Hammett electronic constants are described in detail in the book by Hansch and Leo, published in 1995 [192].
At present, well-known computer programs make it possible to evaluate the pharmacological activity of chemical molecules with respect to various biological models with a certain degree of certainty [193,194,195,196]. It is known that classical SAR methods are based on the analysis of (quantitative) structure–activity relationships for one or more types of biological activity using organic compounds belonging to the same chemical series as the training set [196].
The software called PASS used to calculate biological activity has been constantly updated and improved over the past thirty years [197] and is based on the analysis of a heterogeneous training set that includes information on more than 1.3 million known biologically active compounds with data on approx. 10,000 types of biological activity [197,198,199]. Chemical descriptors implemented in PASS, reflecting the features of the ligand-target interaction and the original implementation of the Bayesian approach to elucidation of structure–activity relationships, provide an average accuracy and predictability for several thousand biological activities, equal to approximately 96% [198].
Several comparative studies have shown that PASS is more predictive than some other recently developed methods for assessing biological activity profiles [197,198], although this program is not sufficiently effective for complex molecules or optical isomers. To calculate the pharmacological potential profile of natural substances, we have successfully used PASS for the past fifteen years [200,201,202,203,204,205].

4. Conclusions

The biological activity of natural FA amides has attracted the attention of pharmacologists for a long time. It is known that this class of compounds is found in many living organisms, including plants, algae, and marine and freshwater invertebrates, but microorganisms attract the greatest interest. This is because various bacteria or fungal endophytes can be isolated from natural sources and cultivated to produce bioactive drugs that are increasingly being used in medicine to fight various diseases. The review offered to the reader covers a small number of natural amides as an example for their further study. This review presents natural FA amides found in extracts from the marine-derived fungi, as well as bacteria isolated from various natural sources. Some fatty acids demonstrated strong antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antineoplastic, and anti-inflammatory activities, and other fatty acids have shown rare activities such as antidiabetic, anti-infective, anti-eczematic, antimutagenic, and anti-psoriatic activities. As a rule, the indicated biological activities of fatty acids have a certainty of more than 90%. These data are undoubtedly of interest to chemists and pharmacologists, both from a theoretical and practical point of view.

Figure 3. The 3D graph ((a), X and (b), Y views) shows the predicted and calculated antifungal, antiviral, and antineoplastic activities of FR-900848 and FA (1) showing the highest degree of confidence. The presented 3D graph demonstrates the comparative characteristics of the biological activities and the pharmacological profile of the individual fragments of the pseudopeptide referred to as FR-900848. In particular, the red zone of the 3D graph indicates the strong biological properties of both FR-900848 and its fatty acid. To build 3D graphs of the biological activity of fatty acids from natural amides, a proprietary computer program OriginPro 2021 was used, into which data were entered from another computer program PASS, which calculates the degree of reliability of biological activity.

Figure 5. Examples of fungal endophyte, Streptomyces aureus (a), pathogenic fungus Bipolaris spp (b), and discomycete Trichopeziza mollissima (c), which produce bioactive FA amides. Among the microbial species cited, of great interest are Discomycetes, which include cup fungi, spongy fungi, and brain fungi, as well as some club-shaped fungi. In recent years, interest in these fungi has grown as they are a source of biologically active metabolites, including amides. Among the Discomycetes, saprobionts predominate, which grow in conditions of high soil moisture, humus, and on dead wood. They are typical cups or discs, but other forms such as sponges, saddles, tongues, and bells are not uncommon. The pictures (c) show varieties of Trichopeziza mollissima.
