Tetrahydroisoquinoline Antitumor Antibiotics The tetrahydroquinoline family of antitumor antibiotics has been studied since naphthriydinomycin was isolated in 1974 by Kluepfel et al. The two core structures of this family are the quinone A and the aromatic core B. To date, nearly 60 natural products in this family have been isolated, and hundreds of synthetic analogues have been reported. A B Scott, J. D.; Williams, R. M. Chem. Rev. 2002, 102, 1669.

Renieramycins: Isolation and Biological Activity Renieramycines are isolated from various marine sponges belonging to genera Reniera, Xestospongia, aliclona, Cribrochalina, and eopetrosia. The ring systems and their relative stereochemistry are identical with those of saframycins which exhibit strong cytotoxicity against cultured cells and antitumor activity against several experimental tumors. Renieramycins A D, and have moderate antimicrobial activities. Renieramycin G has cytotoxicity against human cancer cells with MIC values of 0.5 and 1.0 µg/ml against KB and LoVo cell lines, respectively. Shinya Iimura @ Wipf Group 5 9/4/2005

Lemonomycin: Isolation and Biological Activity Lemonomycin was isolated in 1964 from Streptomyces candidus. owever, the structure was not elucidated until 2000. Lemonomycin contains the unusual aldehyde hydrate and the sugar moiety, and is the only member in this family of tetrahydroisoquinoline antibiotics. Lemonomycin has interesting antibiotic activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, as well as cytotoxicity against a human colon tumor cell line.
