Abstract

:
Diketopiperazines are potential structures with extensive biological functions, which have attracted much attention of natural product researchers for a long time. These compounds possess a stable six-membered ring, which is an important pharmacophore. The marine organisms have especially been proven to be a wide source for discovering diketopiperazine derivatives. In recent years, more and more interesting bioactive diketopiperazines had been found from various marine habitats. This review article is focused on the new 2,5-diketopiperazines derived from marine organisms (sponges and microorganisms) reported from the secondary half-year of 2014 to the first half of the year of 2021. We will comment their chemical structures, biological activities and sources. The objective is to assess the merit of these compounds for further study in the field of drug discovery.

1. Introduction

The 2,5-diketopiperazines (DKPs), the smallest cyclic dipeptides from the double condensations of two α-amino acids, are abundant in nature and possess a six-membered piperazine rigid backbone [1,2]. The formation of two peptide bonds in DKPs are catalyzed by two major enzymes, the nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs, >100 kDa) and cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPSs, 30 kDa) [3]. These three-dimensional molecular skeletons carry different substituents, which overcome the planar limitations of most conventional drugs and play an important role in drug discovery [4]. Recently, the interest in DKPs is still high because they have not only antimicrobial, antitumor and antiviral activities [5], but also a relatively rare treatment of ischemic brain injury [6], quorum-sensing signaling [7,8], anti-Alzheimer [9], inhibition of microtubule polymerization [10] and haemosuppressor activity [11].
Bicyclomycin is a classic DKP antibiotic that has been used to treat diarrhea in humans and bacterial diarrhea in calves and pigs and it is also a rho (a member of the RecA-type ATPase) inhibitor [12,13,14]. Chaetocin is a specific DKP dimer containing sulfurs as the first inhibitor of a lysine-specific histone methyltransferase SU(VAR)3-9, which could reduce the H3 isoform trimethylated at the Lys9 (H3K9me3) level and this compound has also been reported to have potent antimyeloma activity [15,16,17]. Recently, chaetocin is proved to be able to increase the efficiency of the efficient epigenetic reprogramming via reducing the aberrant level of H3K9me3 to enhance the developmental competence of porcine somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos. It promotes osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells [16,18,19]. Plinabulin (formerly named as NPI-2358), a marine-derived DKP, is currently in a phase 3 trial in combination with docetaxel in non-small cell lung cancer (NCT02504489) [20,21,22]. In addition, some DKPs possess an ability to cross the blood–brain barrier via a passive diffusion process as an ideal candidate for new therapeutic agents for brain diseases [23,24]. As of August 2012, there are approximately 150 global patents related to DKPs and its derivatives, and DKPs are present in nearly 50 bio-complexes in the Research Collaboratory for the Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank [25,26]. DKPs are diamonds in the rough and have huge potential in future therapies.
There have been several reviews reported on DKPs until now. Cao et al. summarized chemical diversity and the biological function of indolediketopiperazines from marine-derived fungi [27]. Gomes et al. summed up marine-derived DKP dimers with their structures and biological activity [28]. From 1972 to the first half of the year of 2014, 214 DKPs from marine sources have been reported [5,29]. However, there is no relevant review for summarizing the comprehensive DKPs from a marine source from 2014 to now. On this basis, we now summarize a total of 241 marine-derived DKPs from the second half of 2014 to the first half of 2021 in this paper. In addition, a total of 55 marine-derived variable DKP derivatives from 2011 to the first half of 2021 are also summarized here.

2. Chemical Structures of Diketopiperazines from Marine Organisms

The 241 DKPs from different sources including sponges, bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi are shown in Table 1.

2.1. Sponge

Cyclo-(R-Pro-6-hydroxyl-S-Ile) (1) was a new DKP isolated from the sponge Callyspongia sp., which was collected from the South China Sea. Compound 1 showed no antibacterial activity against the tested Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli [30]. Geobarrettins A (2) and B (3), two new DKPs, were obtained from the sub-Arctic sponge Geodia barrette, which was collected at the west of Iceland (-388 m). Before coculturing with allogeneic CD4+ T cells, the maturing human dendritic cells (DCs) were processed by compound 3 with a dose of 10 μg/mL and then reduced the IFN-γ of T cell secretion. Compound 3 had no effect on the DCs secretion of IL-10 but induced the IL-12p40. This above data demonstrated that compound 3 possessed an overall anti-inflammatory activity and may be used to treat the Th1 type inflammation [31]. A novel sulfur-containing DKP, tedanizaine A (4), was collected from the marine sponge Tedania sp. at a depth of 10 m in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province. Compound 4 bearing a thiazolidine unit was separated by integrating molecular networking and became the second example of thiodiketopiperazine. However, the evaluation of cytotoxicity activities did not reveal the inhibitory activity of compound 4 on the growth of the tested A549 (lung carcinoma) and RAW 246.7 (macrophage) cell lines [32]. (−)-Cyclo(L-trans-Hyp-L-Ile) (5) was a new DKP isolated from the marine sponge Axinella sinoxea, collected from a reef habitat around Larak Island, Persian Gulf. Compound 5 had no influence on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the dose of 100 μg/mL [33]. All 5 DKPs from sponge described above are presented in Figure 1.

2.2. Bacteria

Cyclo (Trp-Ser) (6) was a novel DKP from Rheinheimera aquimaris QSI02, in the Yellow Sea of Qingdao, which was active against E. coli, Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 6.4, 3.2 and 6.4 mg/mL, respectively. Compound 6 possessed antiquorum sensing activity, which could decrease the QS-regulated violacein and pyocyanin production by 67% and 65% in C. violaceum CV026 and P. aeruginosa. Based on the molecular docking results, compared with the natural signaling molecule, compound 6 was easier to combine with the CviR receptor, but opposite in the LasR receptor. These consequences indicated that compound 6 may become a potential inhibitor to control the quorum sensing (QS) system [34]. Four novel DKPs were isolated from psychrophilic yeast Glaciozyma antarctica PI12, which was collected from a marine environment in Antarctica, and they were named as cyclo(Pro-Val) (7), (−)-cyclo(Pro-Tyr) (8), (−)-cyclo(Pro-Phe) (9) and (+)-cyclo(Pro-Leu) (10). However, all these compounds reported in the present study were not subjected to further bioactivity studies [35]. (3S,6S)-3,6-diisobutylpiperazine-2,5-dione (11) was firstly displayed from a sponge-associated bacterium Bacillus sp. SPB7, which was isolated from the sponge Spongia officinalis. Compound 11 exhibited antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus subsp. aureus with the MIC values of 16 and 22 μg/mL, respectively [36]. Gallaecimonamides A–C (12–14) were three new DKPs collected from the marine bacterium Gallaecimonas mangrovi HK-28, which was isolated from the mangrove sediment from Haikou, Hainan Province, China. Compound 12 showed significant selectively antimicrobial activity against V. harveyi with the MIC value of 50 μM [37]. Three novel chlorine-containing DKPs namely cis-cyclo(Pro-3-chloro-Tyr) (15), trans-cyclo(Pro-3-chloro-Tyr) (16) and cis-cyclo(3-chloro-Tyr-Ile) (17) were isolated from Bacillus subtilis BI0980 collected from a depth of 18 m marine sediment between the islands of Kerkyra and Erikoussa. Compounds 15 and 16 showed no inhibitory activity for the tested fungi (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) [38]. All 12 DKPs from bacteria described above are presented in Figure 1.

2.3. Actinomycetes

A novel DKP, iso-naseseazine B (18), was isolated from the medium of Streptomyces sp. SMA-1 from the marine sediment of the Yellow Sea, China. Compound 18 could oppose the fluconazole-resistant C. albicans and the diameter of the inhibition zone was 9 mm [39]. The other Streptomyces sp. USC-636 strain was collected from marine sediment in Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia. Naseseazine C (21) was extracted from the culture of this strain, which exhibited a novel C-6’/C-3 linkage between the two DKP subunits and possessed the activity of antiplasmodial with an IC50 value of 3.52 μM. However, the analog naseseazines A (19) and B (20) inhibited the malaria parasite at a dose of 20 μM. The special linkage between C-6′ and C-3 may be critical to increase bioactivity [40]. (6R,3Z)-3-benzylidene-6-isobutyl-1-methyl piperazine-2,5-dione (22), a new DKP, was produced by the Streptomyces sp. strain SCSIO 04496, which was collected from a deep-sea sediment sample of the South China Sea [41]. ΔmarF, the methyltransferase gene of maremycins, knockout in strain Streptomyces sp. B9173 (collected from the pacific coast of Chile) obtained the mutant LS26. Six new demethylmaremycins (23–28) were isolated from the mutant LS26, however, the specific name of these compounds could not be found [42]. Streptomyces sp. MNU FJ-36 was collected from the Katsuwonus sp. intestinal fabric. Three novel compounds, 3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl)-6-isobutyl-2,5-diketopiperazine (29), 3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)-6-isobutyl-2,5-diketopiperazine (30) and 3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)-6-isopropyl-2,5-diketopiperazine (31), were isolated from the Streptomyces sp. MNU FJ-36. All of these compounds 29–31 could inhibit the growth of the A549 cell lines with IC50 values of 89.4, 35.4 and 28.4 mg/mL, respectively. Compounds 30 and 31 also exhibited a weak cytotoxicity against the HCT-116 (human colon carcinoma) cell lines with IC50 values of 75.4 and 45.4 mg/mL, respectively [43]. A novel DKP glycosidem, maculosin-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (32), was discovered from the Streptomyces sp. ZZ446, which was collected in coastal soil from Zhoushan Islands, Zhejiang Province. Compound 32 possessed antimicrobial activity against MRSA, E. coli and C. albicans with MIC values of 37, 28 and 26 μg/mL, respectively [44,45]. Actinozine A (33) was a new DKP, which was isolated from the Streptomyces species Call-36 from the Red Sea sponge Callyspongia species. Compound 33 exhibited a moderate antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and C. albicans with inhibition zones of 23 and 19 mm at 100 μg/disc, respectively, and showed a weak activity for the HCT-116 (IC50 = 146 μM) and MCF-7 (breast cancer, IC50 = 88.8 μM) cell lines [46]. Streptomyces sp. SY1965 was collected from the Mariana Trench sediment-associated at a depth of 11,000 m and two new DKPs, streptodiketopiperazines A (34) and B (35) were isolated from the strain. The crude extraction of this strain from the Gauze’s liquid medium with sea salt could suppress the human glioma U87MG and U251 cells with an inhibition rate of over 100%. Both compounds 34 and 35 exhibited antifungal activity against C. albicans with a MIC value of 42 μg/mL [47].
A novel DKP, cyclo-(4-trans-6-dihydroxy-proline-D-leucine) (36), was discovered from the Microbulbifer variabilis C-03, which isolated from the Palythoa tuberculosa in the intertidal zone of Wanlitong [48]. One novel DKP namely nocarazepine A (37) was isolated from the Nocardiopsis alba collected from the gorgonian Anthogorgia caerulea, which was sampled from the coast of Xieyang Island, Guangxi Province [49]. Strain AJS-327 was a rare actinomycete (maybe a new linkage within Streptomycetaceae) and collected from the sponge fragment on the beach from La Jolla, CA. It was proved to be a likely novel species because it exhibited an extremely poor 16S rRNA sequence similarity to other members of the actinomycete family Streptomycetaceae. Four new DKPs, photopiperazines A–D (38–41), were isolated from this strain. The olefin geometrical isomers of these four compounds could be interconverted under light conditions, on account of the photopiperazines being sensitive to light. In terms of activity, the mixture of four compounds included compounds 38 (33.5%), 39 (39.7%), 40 (8.4%) and 41 (18.4%). This mixture exhibited a remarkable activity to the cancer cell of U87 (glioblastoma brain cancer), SHOV3 (ovarian cancer), MDA-MB-231(breast cancer) and HCT116 (human colon carcinoma) with IC50 values of 1.2 × 10−4, 2.2 × 10−4, 1.6 and 1.6 μg/mL, respectively [50]. Cyclo-(D-8-acetoxyl-Pro-L-Leu) (42) was a novel DKP isolated from Treptomyces sp. SCSIO 41400, which was obtained from a mangrove derived-soil from the Fuli Mangrove Bay Wetland Park, Haikou, Hainan Province of China. Compound 42 could anchor in the binding site of the pancreatic lipase (PL) enzyme and then prevent the substrate from entering and inhibit the PL enzyme activity with an IC50 value of 27.3 μg/mL [51]. All 25 DKPs from the actinomycetes described above are presented in Figure 2.

2.4. Fungi

2.4.1. Fungi from Sediment Origin

Graphiumins A–J (43–52), ten new sulfur-containing DKPs, were isolated from the fungus Graphium sp. OPMF00224 collected from a depth of 17 m marine sediment on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, Japan. Compounds 45–47 and 49–52 exhibited no inhibition for MRSA; however, they could inhibit the production of the yellow pigment (virulence factors of MRSA) with a white zone of 10, 14, 10, 12, 11, 24 and 23 mm (50 μg/8 mm) [52,53]. Gu et al. firstly utilized the high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) to separate and purify the marine fungus secondary metabolites and then two new sulfur-containing DKPs named cladosporins A (53) and B (54) were discovered from the marine fungus Cladosporium sp. collected from marine sediment in Yangshashan Bay, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China. Compounds 53 and 54 showed cytotoxicity activities against HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma) cell lines with the IC50 values of 21 and 48 μg/mL, respectively. The marine fungus Alternaria alternate HK-25 was isolated from mangrove sediment (Sanya, Hainan, China). By using HSCCC, five DKPs named 12,13-dihydroxy-fumitremorgin C (55), gliotoxin (56), demethoxyfumitremorgin C (57), bisdethiobis(methylthio)gliotoxin (58) and fumitremorgin C (59) were isolated from A. alternate HK-25 and first discovered from fungi. Purities of these compounds were all above 94% [54,55].
Haenamindole (60) was discovered from the fungus Penicillium sp. KCB12F005 isolated from a marine sediment on the coast of Haenam, Korea. Compound 60 exhibited weak inhibitory activity against hepatitis C virus with the IC50 value of 76.3 μM [56,57]. Dichotocejpins A–C (61–63), three novel DKPs, were isolated from the fungus Dichotomomyces cejpii FS110 collected from a depth of 3941 m sediment in the South China Sea. Compound 61 exhibited weak cytotoxicity against SF-268 (human glioma), MCF-7 and HepG2 tumor cell lines with IC50 values of 35.7, 29.5 and 28.9 μM, respectively, and showed remarkably more α-glucosidase inhibition activity than acarbose (oral antidiabetic agent, IC50 = 463 μM) with the IC50 value of 138 μM [58]. Cristazine (64) was discovered from the fungus Chaetomium cristatum, which was isolated from a marine mudflat on Suncheon Bay, Korea. Compound 64 exhibited antioxidant activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with the IC50 value of 19 μM, which was similar to ascorbic acid (positive control, IC50 = 20 μM). It also possessed potent cytotoxicity activities against Hela (cervical carcinoma) and A431 (epidermoid carcinoma) cell lines with the IC50 value of 0.5 μM. Compound 64 could trigger the death of the apoptotic cell via the Type I death receptor pathway and inhibit the cell cycle progression by arresting the G1/S phase and upregulating the inhibitory proteins of cyclin-dependent kinases. By these two ways, compound 64 could inhibit the growth of A431 cells [59,60].
Nineteen novel DKPs namely eutypellazines A–S (65–83) were isolated from fungus Eutypella sp. MCCC 3A00281, which was collected from a depth of 5610 m of marine sediment from the South Atlantic Ocean. Compounds 65–76 could inhibit the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with the IC50 values ranging 3.2–18.2 μM. A sulfide bridge existing in compounds 65–67 and 71–72 (IC50 = 10.7–18.2 μM) might be the reason for exhibiting lower inhibitory activities than compounds 68–69 and 73–76 (IC50 = 3.2–8.7 μM). Compound 74 exhibited the ability to reactivate the latent HIV-1 transcription, which was rarely discovered from nature products. These compounds may become new anti-HIV candidates via modifying the original new scaffolds [61,62]. Fusaperazine F (84) was isolated from the fungus Penicillium crustosum HDN153086 collected from the Prydz Bay sediment of the Antarctic and showed cytotoxicity activity against K562 cell lines (human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells, IC50 = 12.7 μM) [63]. Roquefortine J (85) was another new DKP discovered from the fungus Penicillium granulatum MCCC 3A00475 isolated from a -2284 m deep-sea sediment from the Prydz Bay of Antarctica and exhibited moderate cytotoxicity activity against HepG2 cell lines with an IC50 value of 19.5 μM [64,65]. Three pairs of new DKPs namely (±)-7,8-epoxy-brevianamide Q (86–87), (±)-8-hydroxy-brevianamide R (88–89) and (±)-8-epihydroxy-brevianamide R (90–91) were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus versicolor MF180151, which was collected from a sediment in Bohai Sea, China. However, these compounds showed no antimicrobial activities [66].
Raistrickindole A (92), a novel DKP containing indole tetraheterocyclic ring system, was discovered from the fungus Penicillium raistrickii IMB17-034 obtained from a mangrove swamp sediment in Sanya, Hainan Province, China. Compound 92 exhibited the inhibitory activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) with the EC50 value of 5.7 μM [67]. 5′-hydroxy-6′-ene-epicoccin G (93), 7-methoxy-7′-hydroxyepicoccin G (94), 8′-acetoxyepicoccin D (95), 7′-demethoxyrostratin C (96) and (±)-5-hydroxydiphenylalazines A (97–98) were five new DKPs and isolated from the fungus Epicoccum nigrum SD-388, which was collected from a depth of 4500 m of sediment in the West Pacific. Compound 96 possessed the excellent cytotoxicity activity against Huh7.5 (liver tumor) cell lines with an IC50 value of 9.52 μM, however, it also inhibited the growth of human normal liver LO2 cell lines. The disulfide bridge in the main structure may be crucial for its activity [68]. (±) Eurotinoids A (99–100), (±) eurotinoids B (101–102) and (±) eurotinoids C (103–104), three pairs of novel DKPs spirocyclic alkaloid enantiomers, were isolated from the fungus Eurotium sp. SCSIO F452 obtained from the sediment sample in South China Sea. These compounds showed excellent antioxidant activities against DPPH with the IC50 values between 5.8 and 24.9 μM [69].
Seven novel DKPs, versicamides A−G (105−111), were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus versicolor HDN08-60 collected from the marine sediment in the South China Sea. Versicamide H (112) was obtained from the methylation reaction of 111. Only compound 112 showed modest cytotoxicity activities against the HL-60, HCT-116, Hela and K562 cell lines with IC50 values of 8.7, 17.7, 19.4 and 22.4 μM, respectively, and compound 112 exhibited selective PTK inhibitory activity with the highest inhibitory rate of 60% at a concentration of 10 μM. Compound 112 had stronger activities than compounds 105–111, which might be attributed to an unprecedented skeleton featuring a 2,5-dihydro-1H-azepino-[4,3-b]quinoline system [70]. Fifteen novel DKPs namely rubrumlines A–O (113–127) were isolated from the fungus Eurotium rubrum, which was collected from a depth of 2067 m marine sediment in the South Atlantic Ocean. Compound 116 possessed antivirus activity against the influenza A/WSN/33 virus with the inhibitory rate of 52.64% [71]. Ten new DKPs, 12β-hydroxy-13α-ethoxyverruculogen TR-2 (128), 12β-hydroxy-13α-butoxyethoxyverruculogen TR-2 (129), hydrocycloprostatin A (130), hydrocycloprostatin B (131), 25-hydroxyfumitremorgin B (132), 12β-hydroxy-13α-butoxyethoxyfumitremorgin B (133), 12β-hydroxy-13α-methoxyverruculogen (134), 26α-hydroxyfumitremorgin A (135), 25-hydroxyfumitremorgin A (136) and diprostatin A (137) were isolated from the coculture of the fungus Penicillium sp. DT-F29 with the bacteria Bacillus sp. B31, which were collected from the marine sediments of Dongtou County and Changzhi Island, respectively. In a dose of 20 μM, compounds 133 and 137 showed remarkable BRD4 protein inhibitory activities [72].
Three novel pairs of spirocyclic DKPs namely (±) variecolortins A−C (138−143) were obtained from the fungus Eurotium sp. SCSIO F452, which was isolated from marine sediment in the South China Sea. Compound 138 had a 2-oxa-7-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core, which was an unprecedented highly functionalized seco-anthronopyranoid carbon skeleton. In addition, compounds 139 and 140 had a rare 6/6/6/6 tetracyclic cyclohexene−anthrone carbon scaffold. Compound 138 showed remarkable antioxidant activity against DPPH with an IC50 value of 58.4 μM. Compound 140 and 142 exhibited modest cytotoxicity activities against SF-268 (IC50 = 12.5 and 15.0 μM) and HepG2 (IC50 = 30.1 and 37.3 μM) cell lines. The preliminary molecular docking study revealed that the potential antioxidative target of compounds 138 and 139 might be peroxiredoxin and the potential cytotoxic target of compounds 140 and 142 might be farnesyltransferase [73]. Eurotiumins A–C (144–146), three new DKP alkaloids, were also isolated from the fungus Eurotium sp. SCSIO F452. Compounds 144–146 showed antioxidant activities against DPPH with IC50 values of 37, 69 and 13 μM, respectively. Based on these results, the absolute configurations of the C-2 and C-3 of compounds 144 and 145 might have an influence on antioxidant activities [74]. All 104 DKPs from sediment-derived fungi described above are presented in Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5.

2.4.2. Fungi from Sponge Origin

A novel DKP namely 6-acetylmonodethiogliotoxin (147) was obtained from the fungus Dichotomomyces cejpii, which was collected from the marine sponge Callyspongia cf. C. flammea at Bare Island, Sydney, Australia. Two DKPs previously only known as semisynthetic compounds, 6-acetylbisdethiobis(methylthio)gliotoxin (148) and 5a,6-anhydrobisdethiobis(methylthio)gliotoxin (149), were found in nature for the first time. In human chronic myeloid leukemia cells, compounds 147 and 148 showed downregulated TNFα-induced NF-κB activity with the IC50 values of 38.5 and 65.7 μM, respectively [75]. Peniciadametizine A (150) and B (151) were isolated from the fungus Penicillium adametzioides AS-53 collected from an unidentified sponge in Hainan Island of China. Compound 150 had a unique spiro[furan-2,7’-pyrazino[1,2-b][1,2]oxazine] skeleton, which was found from a natural source for the first time and compound 151 was the highly oxygenated analogue of 150. In a dose of 100 μg/mL, compounds 150 and 151 could kill Artemia salina with the lethal ratio of 45.5 and 62.4%, respectively. These two compounds also showed antifungal activity against Alternaria brassicae with MIC values of 4.0 and 32.0 μg/mL, respectively [76]. Cyclo-(2-hydroxy-Pro-Gly) (152), a novel minor DKP, was obtained from the fungus Simplicillium sp. YZ-11, which was collected from an intertidal sponge Hymeniacidon perleve from Dalian, Liaoning Province, China [77]. Neosartorya glabra KUFA 0702 was isolated from the sponge Mycale sp. collected from 15 to 20 m coral reef at Samaesarn Island and a new DKP, fellutanine A (153), was obtained. Compound 153 showed no antibacterial (MIC > 256 μg/mL) or antifungal (MIC > 512 μg/mL) activity against the tested microbe including E. coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, A. fumigatus ATCC 46645, Trichophyton rubrum ATCC FF5 and C. albicans ATCC 10231 [78]. Asperflocin (154), a novel asymmetric DKP dimer, was isolated from the fungus Aspergillus versicolor 16F-11, which was obtained from the sponge Phakellia fusca from Yongxing Island in the South China Sea. Compound 154 could inhibit the A375 (human melanoma) cell lines growth with the IC50 value of 10.29 ± 2.37 μM [79].
One novel DKP dimer (155) possessing the same planar structure and different stereochemistry with an unnamed and ambiguous compound was isolated from the fungus Aspergillus violaceofuscus, which was collected from sponge Reniochalina sp. from Xisha Islands in the South China Sea. In a dose of 10 μM, compound 155 exhibited anti-inflammatory activity via decreasing LPS-induced expression of IL-10 in THP-1 cells with inhibitory rates of 78.1% [80].

Compound 156 had no cytotoxic activity against A2780 (human ovarian carcinoma) cell lines [81]. One new DKP alkaloid namely penicillivinacine (157) was obtained from the fungus Penicillium vinaceum that was isolated from the marine sponge Hyrtios erectus from Yanbu. Compound 157 exhibited significant cytotoxicity activity against MDA-MB-231 cell lines with an IC50 value of 18.4 μM [82]. Adametizines A (158) and B (159), two novel sulfur-containing DKPs, were separated from the fungus Penicillium adametzioides AS-53, which was isolated from an unidentified marine sponge collected from Hainan Island of China.

Compound 164 showed no activities to these four cell lines. The reason for the difference in activity was that compounds 163 and 165 possessed an N–O bond but compound 164 did not [87]. All 5 DKPs from fungi of beach origin described above are presented in Figure 5.

2.4.4. Fungi from Mangrove Origin

These consequences indicated that the mixed compounds inhibited the growth of Jurkat cell lines via arresting the cell cycle at the G2/M phase [114]. Two novel DKP derivatives namely nocazines A (244) and B (245) were isolated from Nocardiopsis dassonvillei HR10-5, which was obtained from marine sediment in the estuary of Yellow River, Dongying, China.

Compounds 255–257 and 259–262 exhibited remarkable transcriptional activation of liver X receptor α with the EC50 values of 1.7–16 μM. This result suggested that the transcriptional activation activity of these compounds would be decreased when the benzene ring was converted into an oxepin unit. In addition, compound 262 possessed enzyme inhibitory activities against seven enzymes including TCPTP, SHP1, MEG2, SHP2, PTP1B, IDO1 and LDHA with the IC50 values in the range of 14–87 μM [119].

Meanwhile, compound 285 also remarkably decreased the cytokine (interferon-γ, interleukin-2 and tumor necrosis factor-α) production by activating murine splenocytes. Furthermore, compound 285 showed significant inhibitory activity against anti-CD3/anti-CD28 mAb-induced murine splenocytes, human T cell proliferation and Th1/Th2 cytokine production [127].

All 43 DKP derivatives from fungi described above are presented in Figure 8.

4. Characteristics of Bioactive Diketopiperazines and Their Derivatives from Marine Organisms

In this review, 241 DKPs and 54 DKP derivatives isolated from marine organisms were summarized, among which fungi and actinomycetes were the most abundant sources. These marine organisms come from a wide range of sources and the red dots (Figure 9) and yellow dots (Figure 10) represent the collection points for marine biological samples, which produced DKPs and DKP derivatives, respectively. DKPs and DKP derivatives of fungi sources were 199 (82.6%) and 43 (79.6%), respectively, and those of actinomycetes sources were 25 (10.4%) and 11 (20.4%), respectively (Figure 11a,b). In addition, DKPs of sponge and bacteria sources were 5 (2.1%) and 12 (5%), respectively (Figure 11a).
These DKPs had antimicrobial (20, 18.3%), cytotoxic (39, 35.8%), enzyme inhibition (5, 4.6%), antiviral (14, 12.8%), antioxidant (11, 10.1%) and other activities (20, 18.3%) (Figure 11c). Furthermore, these DKP derivatives also had antimicrobial (9, 30%), cytotoxicity (9, 30%), enzyme inhibition (5, 16.7%) activities and a possessed transcriptional activation (7, 23.3%) effect (Figure 11d). Subtle differences in chemical structures are closely related to the bioactivity. For example, compound 96 possessing a unique disulfide bridge in the six-membered piperazine skeleton showed much more significant cytotoxic activity than compounds 93–95, 97 and 98. Compounds 163 and 165 exhibited remarkable antiproliferative activities but compound 164 was inactive, which indicated that the N–O bond played an important role for their bioactivity. In addition, the absolute configurations might be closely associated with the activity intensity. For instance, the antioxidant activity of compounds 144 (IC50 = 37 μM) and 145 (IC50 = 69 μM) were relevant to the absolute configurations of C-2 and C-3. Different substituents in the same chemical skeleton may lead to different activities. For example, compound 158 bearing a Cl atom at C-7 exhibited stronger antimicrobial and brine shrimp inhibition activity than compound 159.

5. Conclusions

In recent years, the number of papers and patents related to DKPs is on the rise continuously and many novel DKPs had been isolated from marine sources. More and more researchers are turning their attention to the six-membered ring rigid structure with great potential for biological activity. It is a heterocyclic scaffold with restricted conformation, which can control stereochemistry at up to four positions. These features provide its potential to break the planarity of traditional drugs. Natural DKPs have more interesting structural complexity and biological characteristics and possibly can be further chemically synthesized or modified to increase their activity, promoting the natural product and synthetic chemistry to complement each other. In addition, DKPs can be used as the quorum sensing signal molecule of Shewanella baltica (a kind of unique microorganism produced during transporting the large yellow croaker at 4 °C) and inhibiting the production of DKPs can slow down the spoilage of the large yellow croaker [7]. Furthermore, thaxtomin A has good herbicidal activity and achieves an herbicidal purpose by inhibiting cellulose synthesis [133]. With the tremendous advancement of technology, the known compound can be initially eliminated through the Global Natural Products Social (GNPS) molecular networking project [134]. It would be helpful for targeting directly to discover new natural DKPs and further enrich the library of DKPs.
To sum up, DKPs are potential bioactive chemical substances that are valuable for further exploration from natural sources, especially from marine environments. The conversion of promising bioactive DKPs into clinical drugs for the treatment of diseases needs much more time and energy for researchers. DKPs are regarded as unprocessed diamonds, attracting scientists to take efforts to study their pharmacological properties and therapeutic effects.
