Novel Antibiotic Peptides, Tylopeptins A and B, from Tylopilus neofelleus: Isolation, Identification, and Biological Activity

Tylopeptins A and B are novel peptides from methanol extract of fruit body of mushroom, Tylopilus neofelleus, These novel peptides were isolated by reverse-phase HPLC. And they have been shown to consist of one acetylated N -terminal residue, fourteen amino acids, and leucinol, C-terminal amino alcohol. Sequencial determination and complete 1H and 13C resonance assignments were based on positive ion F AB mass spectroscopy and two dimensional NMR techniques using HOHAHA, ROSEY, HMQC, and HMBC. These compounds are active against some Gram-positive bacteria, but inactive against phathogenic fungi and Gram-negative bacteria.
