Early diverging fungi, such as , are an emerging source of bioactive peptides. By screening 22 fungal isolates together with precursor-directed biosynthesis, a family of threonine-linked cyclotetradepsipeptides, the cycloacetamides A-F (-), was identified. The structure elucidation was conducted using NMR and HR-ESI-MS/MS analyses, and the absolute configuration was determined by Marfey's analysis and total synthesis. Cycloacetamides are not cytotoxic to human cells, while being highly selectively insecticidal against fruit fly larvae.
早期分化的真菌,如 ,是生物活性肽的新兴来源。通过对 22 个真菌分离物进行筛选,并采用前体定向生物合成方法,鉴定出了一族苏氨酸连接的环四肽,即环乙酰胺 A-F(-)。通过 NMR 和 HR-ESI-MS/MS 分析进行结构解析,并通过 Marfey 分析和全合成确定绝对构型。环乙酰胺对人体细胞无细胞毒性,而对果蝇幼虫具有高度选择性的杀虫活性。
