Summary: | Natural product congeners serve a useful role in the understanding of natural product biosynthesis and structure–activity relationships. A minor congener with superior activity, selectivity, and modifiable functional groups could serve as a more effective lead structure and replace even the original lead molecule that was used for medicinal chemistry modifications. Currently, no effective method exists to discover targeted congeners rapidly, specifically, and selectively from producing sources. Herein, a new method based on liquid-chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry combination is evaluated for targeted discovery of congeners of platensimycin and platencin from the extracts of Streptomyces platensis. By utilizing a precursor-ion searching protocol, tandem mass spectrometry not only confirmed the presence of known congeners but also provided unambiguous detection of many previously unknown congeners of platensimycin and platencin. This high-throughput and quantitative method can be rapidly and broadly applied for dereplication and congener discovery from a variety of producing sources, even when the targeted compounds are obscured by the presence of unrelated natural products. |
