Abstract

A new uridine derivative 11457 A (1), and a new indole derivative 11457B (2), together with a known compound 1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde (3), were characterized from the fermentation broth of the actinomycete Pseudonocardia sp. SCSIO 11457, an isolate associated with the scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis. Upon detailed spectroscopic analysis, 11457 A (1) was identified as a uridine analog, and 11457B (2) was elucidated as an indole derivative 2-hydroxy-1-(1H-indol-2-yl)pentane-1,4-dione. Biological evaluation indicated that none of compounds 1-3 showed Antibacterial activities against pathogenic bacteria and cytotoxic activities against human Cancer cell lines.
