Abstract
Pleofungins (formerly called F-15078) A, B, C and D, novel depsipeptide antifungal antibiotics, were found in a mycelium extract of the producing fungus, Phoma sp. SANK 13899. The structures of pleofungins A, B, C and D were elucidated mainly by various NMR studies. The absolute configurations of the amino acids and N-methyl amino acids of pleofungin A constituents in the hydrolysate were determined by the application of advanced Marfey's method in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of their silylation products with N-methyl-N-(tert-butylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide. Two alpha-hydroxy acid constituents, alpha-hydroxyisocaproic acid and alpha-hydroxyisovaleric acid, were isolated from the hydrolysate and their stereochemistries were determined by their specific rotations.
