• characterized [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. SF-2140, an indole alkaloid featuring an indole N-glycoside skeleton with a cyano group, was first identified from Actinomadura sp. in 1984 [19]. In 1989, the total synthesis of SF-2140 was achieved, further confirming its structure [28]. Preliminary

• actinomycetes” refers to non-Streptomyces actinomycetes [12] and the representative genera, such as Micromonospora, Actinomadura, Nocardia, Actinoplanes, and Saccharothrix, which are no longer rare in terms of difficulties in isolation, already provided thousands of new metabolites [13][14]. Meanwhile, the
