Metabolite profile of marine-derived endophytic Streptomyces sundarbansensis WR1L1S8 by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and evaluation of culture conditions on antibacterial activity and mycelial growth.

This study was designed to investigate whether culture conditions (media, seawater concentration and pH) could lead Streptomyces sundarbansensis strain (isolated from marine brown algae Fucus sp. collected from Algerian coastline) to produce bioactive secondary metabolites. The most favourable condition for the production of anti-MRSA compound 1 [2-hydroxy-5-((6-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-yl)methyl)-2-propylchroman-4-one] was determined. The profile of metabolites present in the crude extracts was carried out by HPLC analysis equipped with a diode array detector evaporative light scattering detection (DAD-ELSD) or online coupled to electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Compound 1 was the most abundant secondary metabolite by culturing the strains on starch casein agar (SCA) medium in freshwater or 50% seawater at pH 7 or 9 using agar-state fermentation method. The study has shown the efficiency of HPLC/ESI-MS technique in the analysis of polyketides produced by the strain under investigation. It was possible to establish the best culture conditions for obtaining the most bioactive compound 1, previously isolated by the same strain. Marine algae-actinobacteria associations are a particularly promising renewable system for the production of new antibacterial metabolites. Based on the promising bioactivity of the chemically characterized compound 1, the analytical methodology here applied has resulted as an effective approach for establishing its optimized production.

Forced degradation and impurity profiling: recent trends in analytical perspectives.

This review describes an epigrammatic impression of the recent trends in analytical perspectives of degradation and impurities profiling of pharmaceuticals including active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) as well as drug products during 2008-2012. These recent trends in forced degradation and impurity profiling were discussed on the head of year of publication; columns, matrix (API and dosage forms) and type of elution in chromatography (isocratic and gradient); therapeutic categories of the drug which were used for analysis. It focuses distinctly on comprehensive update of various analytical methods including hyphenated techniques for the identification and quantification of thresholds of impurities and degradants in different pharmaceutical matrices.

In-Vitro Screening and Biosynthesis of Secondary Metabolites from a New Streptomyces sp. SA1 from a Marine Environment.

Streptomyces sp. produces various antibiotic agents and the number of lead molecules from the genus Streptomyces increased rapidly in recent years. Drug resistance against various commercially available antibiotics is one of the important problems throughout the world. Streptomyces spp. produce various antimicrobials with potent activity against drug-resistant bacteria. Streptomyces sp. SA1 was isolated from the marine environment for the biosynthesis of antibiotics. The important variables influencing secondary metabolite biosynthesis were optimized to increase the biosynthesis of antimicrobial agents using the traditional method and statistical approach. Streptomyces sp. SA1 produced novel antibiotics and the process variables were optimized by the traditional method (One-variable-at-a-time approach). Maltose showed maximum antimicrobial activity (220 U/mL). Analysis of the nitrogen, the effect of nitrogen sources revealed that beef extract incorporated culture medium showed rich antibacterial activity (188/mL). Among the ionic sources, KCl significantly influenced antibiotic production. Maltose, beef extract and KCl were considered as the most influencing medium components. Antimicrobial agent biosynthesis was achieved with maltose 1.22 g/L, beef extract 0.93 g/L and KCl 0.27 g/L in response surface methodology. Actinomycetes, especially Streptomyces, play an important role as a source for bioactive compounds that are used to treat infections, and many other diseases. The isolated Streptomyces sp. was a good producer of antibacterial agent, which required various nutritional supplements in the culture medium. The optimized medium components investigated in this study will be useful for future studies with the mass production of secondary metabolites.
