Their structures were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic methods, mainly one-dimensional and 2D NMR and HRESI-MS. They consist of 36-membered macrolides with a side chain containing three deoxy sugars and a 1,4-naphthoquinone chromophore. Compounds 1 and 2 displayed potent cytotoxicity against three human tumor cell lines with GI50 values in the micromolar range, as well as slight antifungal activity against Candida albicans ATCC10231. In addition, both compounds alter the plasma membrane of tumor cells, inducing loss of membrane integrity and subsequent cell permeabilization leading to a fast and dramatic necrotic cell death.enA549 CellsAntifungal AgentsBreast NeoplasmsCandida albicansCell Line, TumorCell MembraneCell Membrane PermeabilityCell ProliferationColonic NeoplasmsFemaleHumansLung NeoplasmsMacrolidesStreptomycesresearch article26648119open access10.1038/ja.2015.1211881-1469https://www.nature.com/articles/ja2015121.pdf
