A family of pyrazinone metabolites ( 1 - 11 ) were characterized from Staphylococcus xylosus ATCC 29971. Six of them were hydroxylated or methoxylated, which were proposed to be produced by the rare noncatalytic oxa-Michael addition reaction with a water or methanol molecule. It was confirmed that isopropyl alcohol can also be the Michael donor of the reaction. 1 - 7 and the synthetic precursor 2a showed significant inhibition of breast cancer cell migration.
