Experimental Section General experimental procedures. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AV 500 spectrometer at 500 MHz ( 1 H) and 125 MHz ( 13 C) using deuterated MeOH or DMSO as solvent. ESI-HPLC-MS analysis was carried out on a Dionex UltiMate 3000 system coupled to a Bruker AmaZonX mass spectrometer. Compounds were eluted on an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C 18 column (130 Å, 2.1 mm 100 mm, 1.7 μm) using a CH 3 CN/H 2 O gradient containing 0.1% HCOOH (5-95% CH 3 CN for 16 min) at a flow rate of 0.6 ml/min. A scan range of 100-1200 m/z in positive ionization mode was performed to detect compounds. HR-ESI-HPLC-MS were recorded on a Dionex UltiMate 3000 system coupled to a Bruker Impact II QTOF mass spectrometer using an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C 18 RP Column (130 Å, 2.1 mm 50 mm, 1.7 µm) and a same gradient at a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min for 16 min. Strain cultivation. Xenorhabdus innexi DSM 16336 was cultivated in a LB medium at 30 C. For HPLC-MS analysis, 100 µl of overnight culture was inoculated to 10 ml of fresh LB medium containing 2% of Amberlite XAD-16. The cultures were grown at 30 C and 200 rpm. After 72 h, the XAD beads were separated and extracted with 10 ml of MeOH for 1 h. For isolation of RXPs, 4 L of cultures were cultivated using above culture conditons. Extraction and purification. After 72 h incubation, the XAD-16 beads from 4 L of cultures were extracted with 300 ml of MeOH three times. The solvent was removed to obtain the MeOH extract. The crude extract was dissolved in H 2 O and extracted with EtOAc. The EtOAc fraction (865.7 mg) was fractionated by Sephadex LH-20 chromatography using MeOH as the eluent. The fractions were analyzed by HPLC-MS, and the enriched fractions containing RXPs were used for further purification. The purification was carried out on an Agilent preparative HPLC system and a Cholester column (10 ID 250 mm). The compounds were eluted by using a CH 3 CN/H 2 O
gradient containing 0.1% HCOOH (25-45% CH 3 CN for 40 min) at a flow rate of 3 ml/min to yield 1 (19.4 mg), 2 (21.5 mg), 3 (4.7 mg), 4 (3.0 mg), 5 (3.3 mg), 6 (7.2 mg) and 7 (3.0 mg). Determination of amino acid configuration. Amino acid configuration of 1-7 was determined using the advanced Marfey's method as described previously. 1,2 Bioactivity tests. Compounds 1-7 were tested against the parasites Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense STIB900, Trypanosoma cruzi Tulahuen C4, Leishmania donovani MHOM-ET- 67/L82, and Plasmodium falciparum NF54 in duplicates as described previously. 3 Their cytotoxic activities against the rat skeletal myoblasts (L6 cells) were conducted also in duplicates as described previously. 3
