Butanolides and Butenolides from a Marine-Derived Streptomyces sp. Exert Neuroprotective Activity through Activation of the TrkB Neurotrophin Receptor.

ABSTRACT: Neurodegenerative diseases are incurable and debilitating conditions, characterized by progressive loss and degeneration of vulnerable neuronal populations. Currently, there are no effective therapies available for the treatment of most neurodegenerative disorders. A panel of extracts exhibiting interesting chemical profiles among a high number of bacterial strains isolated from East Mediterranean marine sediments and macroorganisms were evaluated for their activity on TrkB-expressing cells. Among them, the actinobacterial strain Streptomyces sp. BI0788, exhibiting neuroprotective activity in vitro, was selected and cultivated in large-scale. The chemical analysis of its organic extract resulted in the isolation of four new butanolides (1, 4-6), along with two p
