Abstract

Nine new indolocarbazoles (1-9) were isolated from the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. DT-A61. Among them compounds 1-8 featured a hydroxy group at the C-3 or C-9 position. All purified compounds were identified by 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS data. The absolute configurations of 4-6, 8, and 9 were determined by electronic circular dichroism spectroscopic data. Compound 7 exhibited significant activity against human prostate PC-3 cancer cells with an IC50 value of 0.16 μM. Compounds 1, 5, 6, and 9 showed moderate inhibition against the same cell line with IC50 values of 8.0, 3.6, 3.1, and 5.6 μM. Compound 2 displayed a notable inhibitory effect against Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK2) with an IC50 value of 5.7 nM, which was similar to the positive control staurosporine (IC50 7.8 nM).
