✦ Synopsis

Mixtures of the microheterogeneous 16-mer peptaibol antibiotics called antiamoebins (AAM) have been isolated from the culture broths of strains of the filamentous fungi Stilbella erythrocephala ATCC 28144, Stilbella fimetaria CBS 548.84 and Gliocladium catenulatum CBS 511.66. Sequences were determined using on-line HPLC together with positive-and negative-ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Some characteristic features are recognized in the mass spectrometric fragmentation pattern of AAM. From a sample originally used for sequencing AAM (from Hindustan Antibiotics, Ltd., Pimpri, Poona-411018, India), and a sample of AAM commercially available (from Sigma Chemicals, St. Louis, MO, USA) HPLC elution profiles and sequences were assigned. Further, sequences of AAM previously isolated from Emericellopsis synnematicola CBS 176.60 and Emericellopsis salmosynnemata CBS 382.62 were determined. The peptide designated AAM I was the most abundant in all isolates and its structure could be confirmed. AAM II was detectable as a minor component (1.9%) only in the original sample of AAM, but not in the other isolates. The structures of AAM III, IV and V, which had previously been partly assigned, were definitely established, and the new sequences AAM VI -XVI were elucidated. AAM showing Phe 1 /Leu 1 or Phe 1 /Val 1 exchange, respectively, are produced in amounts only by S. erythrocephala. Sequences, HPLC elution profiles ('fingerprints') and relative amounts of peptides of all isolates were correlated.

The mycotoxin antiamoebin has recently been shown to be a mixture of at least five closely related pep tide^'^^). Like alamethicins, antiamoebins fall in the class of peptaibol antibiotic^^,^), which are characterized by the presence of several Aib residues and a 1,2-aminoalcohol at the C-terminus.

A new peptaibol, boletusin, was isolated from the methanol extract of the fruiting body of the mushroom, Boletus spp. Sequential determination by positive FAB MS/MS showed that boletusin is a peptide consisting of 19 amino acids, with one acetylated N-terminus residue, phenylalanine, and a C-termina
