Abstract

A combination of LC-MS/MS and feature-based molecular networking analyses led to the isolation of a new adenopeptin analog, higapeptin (1), and four known peptides, adenopeptin (2), adenopeptins B and C (3 and 4), and acremopeptin (5), from the rice culture of the fungus Acremonium persicinum (18F04103) isolated from a mud flat of the Ariake Sea in Kyushu, Japan. The structure of 1 was determined by NMR and MS/MS fragmentation analyses. The absolute configuration of the constituent amino acids was determined by Marfey's analysis after acid hydrolysis. The C-terminal residue was synthesized, and its absolute configuration was established by Marfey's analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 were found to inhibit mitochondrial energy metabolism, similar to efrapeptin D (6), a known mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor.
