Plakinamine P, A Steroidal Alkaloid with Bactericidal Activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death due to infectious disease worldwide. There is an urgent need for more effective compounds against this pathogen to control the disease. Investigation of the anti-mycobacterial activity of a deep-water sponge of the genus Plakina revealed the presence of a new steroidal alkaloid of the plakinamine class, which we have given the common name plakinamine P. Its structure is most similar to plakinamine L, which also has an acyclic side chain. Careful dissection of the nuclear magnetic resonance data, collected in multiple solvents, suggests that the dimethyl amino group at the 3 position is in an equatorial rather than axial position unlike previously reported plakinamines. Plakinamine P was bactericidal against M. tuberculosis, and exhibited moderate activity against other mycobacterial pathogens, such as M. abscessus and M. avium. Furthermore, it had low toxicity against J774 macrophages, yielding a selectivity index (SI, or IC50/MIC) of 8.4. In conclusion, this work provides a promising scaffold to the tuberculosis drug discovery pipeline. Future work to determine the molecular target of this compound may reveal a pathway essential for M. tuberculosis survival during infection.


Introduction
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent of the primarily pulmonary disease tuberculosis (TB). Approximately 10 million new cases of TB are diagnosed every year worldwide, and 5% of these are caused by multidrug-resistant strains of Mtb, rendering the disease extremely difficult to control [1]. TB treatment entails a combination of four antibiotics taken for at least six months in order to achieve a relapse-free cure [2]. Considering this, there is an urgent need for novel compounds that are more effective against this pathogen, capable of shortening treatment time, and killing drug-resistant strains of Mtb.
Recently, a large-scale screen of a marine natural products (MNP) library containing 4400 prefractionated peak fraction samples yielded highly potent inhibitors of Mtb [3]. A sample from the marine invertebrate Plakina sp. was highly active in the primary screen and was chosen for further deconvolution in this study. A novel plakinamine was discovered with potent bactericidal activity against Mtb. We have elucidated the structure of this novel compound and further characterized Mar. Drugs 2019, 17, 707 2 of 10 its activity against Mtb as well as other important mycobacterial pathogens, including M. abscessus, and two species belonging to the M. avium complex. The plakinamine compound was selectively active against Mtb, though moderate activity was observed against the other mycobacteria tested. Investigating the mechanism of action of this compound may reveal novel druggable Mtb targets. The structural similarity of plakinamine P and cholesterol, coupled with the essential nature of the cholesterol catabolism pathway for Mtb survival during infection, poses an interesting pool of putative targets for the novel structure described in this study [4].

Chemical Analysis
A specimen of sponge identified as a new species of Plakina was collected using the Johnson Sea Link I manned submersible at a depth of 93 m off Crooked Island, the Bahamas, and stored at −20 • C until workup. The frozen sponge was extracted using a Dionex Accelerated Solvent Extractor and a series of solvents with increasing polarity. The CH 3 OH:H 2 O (3:1 v/v) extract was further purified using reverse-phase flash chromatography on a Teledyne Isco CombiFlash Rf 4x, followed by semi-preparative HPLC leading to the isolation of plakinamine P (1) as a tan oil [α] D 20 = + 16.9 (c 0.11 in MeOH). Direct analysis in real time-high resolution mass spectrometry (DART-HRMS) analysis of 1 coupled with interpretation of the 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum suggested a molecular formula of C 33 H 58 N 2 requiring six degrees of unsaturation. The 1 H NMR spectra of 1 had substantial overlap and, therefore, data were collected in methanol-d 4 and dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO)-d 6 to allow for assignment of all atoms (Supplementary Figures S1-S24, Table S1 and S2). The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra collected in methanol-d 4 showed the presence of four sp 2 hybridized carbons [δ C 159.9, 140.7, 118.4 and 111.7] consistent with two double bonds. No additional unsaturation was apparent from the NMR data, suggesting that 1 has four rings. The 1 H NMR spectrum showed the presence of an isopropyl group [δ H 2.38 sep (J = 6.9 Hz), δ H 1.10 3H d (J = 6.9 Hz), δ H 1.09 d 3H (J = 6.9 Hz)]. The presence of two dimethylamino groups in 1 was suggested by the resonances observed as two broadened singlets (δ H 2.84 and δ H 2.85) integrating for 12 protons attached to carbon resonances observed at δ C 42.7 and 40.5. A literature search suggested that similar resonances are found in the plakinamine class of natural products [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and comparison of the NMR data to the published data suggested that 1 is most similar to plakinamines L and M [14,15]. Other characteristic resonances observed in the 1 H NMR spectrum of 1 were the methyl resonances observed at δ H 0.59 (H 3 -18, s) and δ H 0.86 (H 3 -19, s), which are consistent with the angular methyl groups of a steroidal alkaloid. Analysis of the 2D-COSY and 2D-edited gHSQC NMR spectra allowed for the assignment of five spin systems shown in Figure 1 as thickened bonds: C-1 through C-7; C-9 → C-11 → C-12; C-14 though C-17 → C-20 through C-23; C-25 → C-26 and C-27; and C-28 → C-29. The fragments were connected through the analysis of the 2D gHMBC spectrum ( Figures S9-S12 Investigating the mechanism of action of this compound may reveal novel druggable Mtb targets. The structural similarity of plakinamine P and cholesterol, coupled with the essential nature of the cholesterol catabolism pathway for Mtb survival during infection, poses an interesting pool of putative targets for the novel structure described in this study [4].

The frozen sponge was extracted using a Dionex Accelerated Solvent Extractor and a series of solvents with increasing polarity. The CH3OH:H2O (3:1 v/v) extract was further purified using reverse-phase flash chromatography on a Teledyne Isco CombiFlash Rf 4x, followed by semipreparative HPLC leading to the isolation of plakinamine P (1) as a tan oil [α]D 20 = + 16.9 (c 0.11 in MeOH).
Direct analysis in real time-high resolution mass spectrometry (DART-HRMS) analysis of 1 coupled with interpretation of the 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum suggested a molecular formula of C33H58N2 requiring six degrees of unsaturation. The 1 H NMR spectra of 1 had substantial overlap and, therefore, data were collected in methanol-d4 and dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO)-d6 to allow for assignment of all atoms (Supplementary Figures S1-S24, Table S1 and S2). The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra collected in methanol-d4 showed the presence of four sp 2 hybridized carbons [δC 159.9, 140.7, 118.4 and 111.7] consistent with two double bonds. No additional unsaturation was apparent from the NMR data, suggesting that 1 has four rings. The 1 H NMR spectrum showed the presence of an isopropyl group [δH 2.38 sep (J = 6.9 Hz), δH 1.10 3H d (J = 6.9 Hz), δH 1.09 d 3H (J = 6.9 Hz)]. The presence of two dimethylamino groups in 1 was suggested by the resonances observed as two broadened singlets (δH 2.84 and δH 2.85) integrating for 12 protons attached to carbon resonances observed at δC 42.7 and 40.5. A literature search suggested that similar resonances are found in the plakinamine class of natural products [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and comparison of the NMR data to the published data suggested that 1 is most similar to plakinamines L and M [14,15]. Other characteristic resonances observed in the 1 H NMR spectrum of 1 were the methyl resonances observed at δH 0.59 (H3-18, s) and δH 0.86 (H3-19, s), which are consistent with the angular methyl groups of a steroidal alkaloid. Analysis of the 2D-COSY and 2D-edited gHSQC NMR spectra allowed for the assignment of five spin systems shown in Figure 1 as thickened bonds: C-1 through C-7; C-9 → C-11 → C-12; C-14 though C-17 → C-20 through C-23; C-25 → C-26 and C-27; and C-28 → C-29. The fragments were connected through the analysis of the 2D gHMBC spectrum (Figures S9-S12).  Correlations observed in the HMBC spectrum from H-6a to C-8 assign the position of the olefinic carbon C-8. Correlations observed between H-7 and C-9; between H 3 -19 and C-1, C-5, C-9, and C-10, and between H-1b and C-19 defined the presence of fused rings A and B and the position of the C-19 methyl group. Correlations in the HMBC spectrum from H-7 to C-14; H-11ab to C-8; H-12a to C-13 and C-14; H-14 to C-8 and C-13, and from H 3 -18 to C-12, C-13, C-14, and C-17 established rings C and D as well as the position of C-18. The structure of the side chain attached at C-17 was established based on correlations in the HMBC spectrum from H-23ab to C-24, C-25, and C-28; from H-25 to C-23, C-24, and C-28; and from H-28 to C-23, C-24, and C-25. The placement of the two dimethylamino groups was determined based on HMBC correlations from H 3 -30/31 to C-29 in the acyclic side chain and from H 3 -32/33 to C-3 of ring A. Detailed results from NMR analysis are shown in Table 1. The relative configuration of 1 was defined based upon the ROESY and NOESY data ( Figure 2 and Supplementary S13, S21-S23, Table S2) as well as comparison with previously described plakinamines [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. NMR data were collected in two different solvents to fully resolve the A ring protons with DMSO-d 6 yielding sufficient resolution. NOESY correlations observed between H-3 (δ H 3.07), H-1b (δ H 1.07), and H-5 (δ H 1.37) were consistent with axial orientations for all three protons. This differs from other reported plakinamines in which the H-3 proton is equatorial. A trans-ring-fusion of the A and B rings indicating a chair conformation was established based on NOESY correlations between the axial protons H-5 (δ H 1.37) and H-9 (δ H 1.64) along with 1,3-diaxial ROESY correlations between H 3 -19 (δ H 0.75), H-2b (δ H 1.48), H-4b (δ H 1.41), and H-11b (δ H 1.42).
A number of overlapping resonances in the 1 H spectrum made the assignment of relative configuration at other centers difficult. Therefore, comparisons with previously reported plakinamine steroidal alkaloids were conducted. A transfused C/D ring, β-oriented side chain at C-17, and an α-methyl group at C-20 can be observed in all of the plakinamine steroidal alkaloids previously reported. By comparing the 13 C NMR data for 1 (C-13, δC 44.7; C-14, δC 56.3; C-17, δC 57.2; C-20, δC 38.2) with the published data for structurally similar plakinamines [5,10,11,13,14], assignment of the relative configuration at these centers was possible as they fall within the ranges typically reported (C-13, δC 44.0 ± 0.8; C-14, δC 54.7 ± 1.6; C-17, δC 57.2 ± 1.6; C-20, δC 36.5 ± 2.0). The 2D-NOESY and ROESY data are consistent with the assigned structure. Plakinamines L and M are the only other compounds in the class that bear an acyclic side chain [13,14]. Plakinamine P differs due to a change in the position of the double bond from C-23/C-24 in plakinamines L and M to C-24/C-28 in 1. The Z geometry of the double bond was determined based on ROESY correlations observed from H-28 to H-25, H3-26, and H3-27.

Biological Activity
In a primary screen, the fraction from the marine organism of the genus Plakina sp. (HBOI.010.F07) inhibited actively growing M. tuberculosis CDC1551 by 97.4%, and 62% inhibition was detected against nonreplicating dormant bacteria. The data with nonreplicating bacteria were obtained using a multistress dormancy model which includes hypoxia, acidic pH, and starvation as the cues for Mtb to stop replicating [3]. Activity against dormant Mtb was absent when colony forming units (CFUs) were evaluated [16]. Plakinamine P was identified as the predominant compound in the mixture. Further purification yielded 1 mg of pure compound which did not retain activity against dormant Mtb, therefore the dormancy assay was no longer used for this compound. All the microbiological results reported were obtained with auto-luminescent mycobacteria expressing the luxABCDE operon as previously described [3]. Dose-response curves were conducted against Mtb as well as a panel of opportunistic non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pathogens, including both rapid-growing NTMs (M. massilliense, M. abscessus, M. fortuitum) and slow-growing NTMs (M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. simiae). All minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values are listed in Table 2 and dose-response curves are shown in Figure 3A and B. Plakinamine P was active against all mycobacterial species tested, with the lowest MIC of 1.8 µg/mL observed for Mtb and the highest of 57 µg/mL observed for M. intracellulare. The IC50 against J774 macrophages was 15.2 µg/mL, to produce a selectivity index (SI; IC50/MIC) of 8.5 against Mtb. The potent bactericidal activity of A number of overlapping resonances in the 1 H spectrum made the assignment of relative configuration at other centers difficult. Therefore, comparisons with previously reported plakinamine steroidal alkaloids were conducted. A transfused C/D ring, β-oriented side chain at C-17, and an α-methyl group at C-20 can be observed in all of the plakinamine steroidal alkaloids previously reported.

The IC 50 against J774 macrophages was 15.2 µg/mL, to produce a selectivity index (SI; IC 50 /MIC) of 8.5 against Mtb. The potent bactericidal activity of plakinamine P against Mtb was confirmed by plating samples for colony forming units (CFU) enumeration. These results demonstrated 90% bacterial killing by the compound at 3.1 µg/mL against Mtb. Furthermore, at the higher concentrations of 12.5 and 50 µg/mL, zero colonies were observed, indicating sterilization of the Mtb culture at those concentrations ( Figure 3C).  The data are presented as % growth relative to average CFU/mL of the 2% DMSO controls.  The data are presented as % growth relative to average CFU/mL of the 2% DMSO controls.

Discussion
The major global health threat posed by Mtb infections is intensified by the difficulty to treat TB. In this study, we have identified a novel scaffold bactericidal against Mtb with low toxicity towards mammalian cells. The structural characterization of this compound revealed it to be the novel steroidal alkaloid plakinamine P. Plakinamine P inhibited the growth of M. tuberculosis with an MIC of 1.8 µg/ml. It is most closely related to plakinamines L and M, which have been reported to inhibit the growth of M. tuberculosis strain H37Ra with MICs of 3.6 and 15.8 µg/mL, respectively [14]. Selectivity for mycobacteria versus mammalian cells and spectrum of activity against mycobacteria has not been reported for the other known plakinamines. In the current study, plakinamine P was most potent against Mtb, however, it was also moderately active against important opportunistic mycobacteria including M. abscessus and M. avium complex organisms. These are highly drug-tolerant pathogens known to cause chronic infections in immunocompromised individuals [18,19]. Nevertheless, the observed selectivity of plakinamine P for Mtb in comparison to other mycobacteria suggests it may target pathways uniquely essential for Mtb survival.
The delayed clearance of Mtb by current front-line TB drugs is often attributed to the distinctive physiological aspects of this intracellular pathogen during infection [20]. In light of this, many TB drug discovery studies are focusing efforts on finding scaffolds capable of inhibiting Mtb's survival pathways during infection [21,22]. Plakinamine P described in this study is structurally similar to cholesterol, with a modified side chain. Previous work has shown the essentiality of cholesterol catabolism for the survival and persistence of Mtb during infection [4]. Inhibition of this pathway leads to death of intracellular Mtb [23]. Additionally, cholesterol analogs with undegradable side chains are capable of killing Mtb in culture [24]. Our data, combined with previously published work, suggest that plakinamine P may be causing mycobacterial death by inhibiting the cholesterol catabolism pathway. Additionally, inhibition may be due to toxic byproducts coming from the breakdown of plakinamine P via the cholesterol degradation pathway.
In conclusion, we have characterized an MNP-derived scaffold with potent antimycobacterial activity. The essentiality of the putative target of plakinamine P for Mtb survival and persistence in the host further highlights the potential of this compound in TB drug discovery. Future research will not only focus on confirming the molecular target of plakinamine P, but also demonstrating its activity against Mtb under in vivo-like conditions.

Chemical Ananlysis
Optical rotation was measured on a Rudolph Research Analytical AUTOPOL III automatic polarimeter. UV spectra were collected on a NanoDrop Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., MA, USA). NMR data were collected on a JEOL ECA-600 spectrometer (JEOL USA, Peabody, MA, USA) operating at 600 MHz for 1 H, and 150.9 for 13 C. The edited gHSQC spectrum was optimized for 140 Hz and the gHMBC spectrum optimized for 8 Hz. Chemical shifts were referenced to solvent, e.g., CD 3 OD, δ H observed at 3.31 ppm and δ C observed at 49.1 ppm or DMSO-d 6 δ H observed at 2.50 ppm and δ C observed at 39.5 ppm. High resolution mass spectrometry was performed on a JEOL AccuTOF-DART 4G using the DART source for ionization.

Biological Material
The steroidal alkaloid Plakinamine P, 1, was isolated from a sponge identified as Plakina n. sp. (S. 26, a picture of the sponge can be found in Figure S26A . The external morphology is bulbous to globular (1-2 cm thick, 2-6 cm in diameter), with a single oscula per bulb. Oscules are less than 4 mm wide with a tubular and darkened membrane projection. The surface of the sponge is smooth and the consistency is gelatinous and compressible. The specimen is light brown externally and tan in color internally, both in life and preserved. Spicules are in very low abundance and consist of small ramified calthrops (tetralophose and trilophose), rare smooth non-lophose calthrops, and small diod microrhabs (7-10 µm in length and <1 µm in width). Calthrops are regular in size; less than 20 µm in total size, with rays 8-10 µm × 2-3 µm. Trilophose calthrops usually have deformed rays with variation in the pattern of ramification between rays. The lophose calthrops are typical of the genus Plakina. There are five Plakina species currently recognized for the Caribbean: Plakina elisa, Plakina nathaliae, Plakina tetralopha, Plakina jamaicensis, and Plakina arletensis [25]. The present Plakina specimen differs from those species in general morphology as it has a much thicker growth, bulbous shape, and unique oscula morphology. The spicule combination, the tendency to have deformed rays and diverse branching patterns within a spicule, and their low density in the body are unique characteristics of this sample that indicate that it may be an undescribed Plakina species. Further study of the histology and genetics of this specimen will allow its distinction from the other Caribbean species.

Extraction and Isolation
The sample was frozen immediately after collection and stored at −20 • C until extraction. The frozen sponge (92 g) was soaked overnight in CH 3 OH:H 2 O (1:1 v/v), filtered, and allowed to dry overnight. Extraction of the sponge was accomplished using a Dionex ASE 100 ® Accelerated Solvent Extractor (Dionex, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) using the following solvents: Extract 1: heptane, Extract 2: ethyl acetate:ethanol (1:1 v/v), Extract 3: ethanol, Extract 4: methanol:water (3:1 v/v) and washed with isopropyl alcohol. The methanol:water (3:1 v/v) extract and the isopropanol extract were combined and separated by medium pressure liquid chromatography using a Teledyne Isco Combiflash ® Rf 4x equipped with PeakTrak software (Version 2.1.19, Teledyne Isco, Lincoln, NE, USA) as follows: 365 mg of the combined extract was absorbed onto approximately 2 g of C18 reversed-phase packing, dried, and then placed into a loading column. A Teledyne Isco 15.5 g C18 Redisep Rf Gold column operating at a flow rate of 30 mL/min and monitored at 225 and 280 nm and collected into 13 mm tubes was used for the separation. Solvent A was H 2 O:CH 3 CN (95:5), Solvent B was CH 3 CN, Solvent C was CH 3 OH, and Solvent D was CH 2 Cl 2 . The run lasted 15.9 mins and 37 column volumes. The column was first eluted with a mixture of A:B (94:6 v/v) for 2 column volumes. The column was then eluted over a linear gradient to 100% B over 21 column volumes and then held at 100% B for an additional 3 column volumes. The column was then washed with 100% Solvent C (CH 3 OH), followed by a rapid gradient of CH 2 Cl 2 in CH 3 OH to wash the column. The anti-mycobacterial activity was observed in Fraction 7 eluting as a broad peak between column volumes 8 to 15 containing > 90% plakinamine P (0.040 g, 0.043% frozen weight). A portion of this material was further fractionated by semi-preparative HPLC at room temperature using a Vydac C18 protein and peptide column (10 × 250 mm, 10 µm particle size) and the following gradient

Biological Activity
Four slow-growing and 3 fast-growing mycobacterial strains (Table 2) were cultured in Middlebrook 7H9 broth media, supplemented with 0.05% Tween 80, 10% OADC, and 50 µg/mL kanamycin when necessary for plasmid maintenance. The previously described Mtb-Lux strain constitutively expressing the luxCDABEG operon from the episomal plasmid pMV306hsp+LuxG13, was used [3]. pMV306hsp+LuxG13 was a gift from Brian Robertson & Siouxsie Wiles (Addgene plasmid # 26161; http://n2t.net/addgene:26161; RRID:Addgene_26161). All NTMs were transformed with the same plasmid to produce a stable luminescent signal. Log phase cultures of the mycobacterial strains expressing the lux operon were diluted to an OD600 of 0.01 and treated with serial dilutions of plakinamine P. This compound was resuspended in 100% dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) at 10 mg/mL. Sixteen-point 2-fold serial dilutions of plakinamine P, starting at 200 µg/mL, were prepared in a final 2% DMSO concentration, 12 µg/mL rifampicin and 2% DMSO were used as controls. Treatments were performed in 384-well plates for 5 days at 37 • C (5% CO 2 , ambient O 2 , and humidity) for slow-growing mycobacteria and 2 days for fast-growing mycobacteria (Table 1), after which the luminescence was read using Synergy TM H4 plate reader (BioTeK). Samples of Mtb-Lux treated with 0.8, 3.1, 12.5 and 50 µg/mL plakinamine P were taken, diluted 10-fold in PBS-Tween80, and plated in 7H10 OADC. Plates were incubated for 3 weeks at 37 • C, after which colonies were enumerated.
Data were normalized to highest and lowest output values in the dose response. MIC (99% killing) and IC 50 were calculated using a Gompertz model, and a nonlinear regression-normalized response curve fit, respectively in GraphPad Prism 5 [26]. The selectivity index (SI) was calculated as IC 50 /MIC.  Figure S22: Expansion of Plakinamine P (1) 2D-NOESY spectrum (600 MHz, DMSO-d 6 ) showing key correlations for H-3.
