Introduction
Cone snails are an excellent source of neuroactive natural products, but to our knowledge no study of natural compounds
from cone snail symbionts has been reported.1 We have been studying the potential of symbiotic bacteria to contribute to
the neuroactivity of their host snails, using calcium imaging of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells as the primary assay.
DRG is a collection of cell bodies of
sensory neurons monitoring touch,
stretch, temperature, and pain. Here
we used cultured DRG cells to
screen for neuroactive compounds.

Fermentation and Purification
CP32 was isolated from the hepatopancreas of
Conus pulicarius, which was collected in the
Philippines. DRG assay showed the crude extract
increased the second KCl response at 25 ug/mL.
Strain CP32 was cultured both in 2.8 L Fernbach flasks and 10 L
fermentor, each containing ISP2 medium. The cultures were grown for 8
days at 30 ℃ while shaking at 200 rpm.
HPLC showed CP32 produced a
series of compounds with similar
UV absorption.

The culture was extracted with HP20 resin (20–30 gL-1) and the resin
was eluted with MeOH and the solvents were dried. The resulting
fraction was extracted with EtOAc and concentrated. The organic
extract was subjected to pressure column chromatography over C18
using increasing amounts of MeOH in H2O. The residue from the
60~70% MeOH in H2O fraction was further purified on reverse phase
HPLC to afford pulicamides A-J (1-10).

Ten new hydroxamate compounds, pulicamides A-J (1-10), were isolated from the neuroactive strain CP32. The structures of these pulicamides
were determined by NMR analyses and ESIMS experiments. Pulicamides are a new class of secondary metabolites. DRG assay showed that
pulicamides A and C decreased the second KCl response, while pulicamide B increased the second KCl response. Their slight structural
differences lead to opposite activities. To explain the structure-activity relationship, other analogs will be assayed in further studies.
