The marine bacterium Roseovarius tolerans EL-164 (Rhodobacteraceae) can produce unique N-acylalanine methyl esters (NAMEs) besides strucutrally related N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs), bacterial signaling compounds widespread in the Rhodobacteraceae. The structures of two unprecedented NAMEs carrying a rare terminally oxidized acyl chain are reported here. The compounds (Z)-N-16-hydroxyhexadec-9-enoyl-l-alanine methyl ester (Z9-16-OH-C16:1-NAME, 3) and (Z)-N-15-carboxypentadec-9-enoyl-l-alanine methyl ester (16COOH-C16:1-NAME, 4) were isolated, and the structures were determined by NMR and MS experiments. Both compounds were synthesized to prove assignments and to test their biological activity. Finally, non-natural, structurally related Z9-3-OH-C16:1-NAME (18) was synthesized to investigate the mass spectroscopy of structurally related NAMEs. Compound 3 showed moderate antibacterial activity against microorganisms such as Bacillus, Streptococcus, Micrococcus, or Mucor strains. In contrast to AHLs, quorum-sensing or quorum-quenching activity was not observed.

The analysis of volatiles from bacterial cultures revealed long-chain aliphatic nitriles, a new class of natural products. Such nitriles are produced by both Gram-positive Micromonospora echinospora and Gram-negative Pseudomonas veronii bacteria, although the structures differ. A variable sequence of chain elongation and dehydration in the fatty acid biosynthesis leads to either unbranched saturated or unsaturated nitriles with an ω?7 double bond, such as (Z)-11-octadecenenitrile, or methyl-branched unsaturated nitriles with the double bond located at C-3, such as (Z)-13-methyltetradec-3-enenitrile. The nitrile biosynthesis starts from fatty acids, which are converted into their amides and finally dehydrated. The structures and biosyntheses of the 19 naturally occurring compounds were elucidated by mass spectrometry, synthesis, and feeding experiments with deuterium-labeled precursors. Some of the nitriles showed antimicrobial activity, for example, against multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus strains.

Anomeric carboxymethyl GLA-60 olefine derivatives having ether chains instead of ester chains in their side chains were synthesized and their biological activities toward both human U937 cells and mouse PEC-macrophage cells were measured. The species-specific behavior of these compounds in humans (LPS-antagonistic) and mice (very weak LPS-antagonistic, but almost inactive) found this time was different from that in humans (LPS-antagonistic) and mice (endotoxic) found in the biosynthetic precursor of lipid A, such as lipid IVa. However, this fact also shows, interestingly enough, that a difference exists in the molecular recognition between human and mouse LPS receptors.
