Chilenopeptins A and B, Peptaibols from the Chilean <i>Sepedonium</i> aff. <i>chalcipori</i> KSH 883
The Chilean <i>Sepedonium</i> aff. <i>chalcipori</i> strain KSH 883, isolated from the
endemic <i>Boletus loyo</i> Philippi, was studied in a polythetic
approach based on chemical,
molecular, and biological data. A taxonomic study of the strain using
molecular data of the ITS, EF1-α, and RPB2 barcoding genes confirmed
the position of the isolated strain within the <i>S. chalcipori</i> clade, but also suggested the separation of this clade into three
different species. Two new linear 15-residue peptaibols, named chilenopeptins
A (<b>1</b>) and B (<b>2</b>), together with the known
peptaibols tylopeptins A (<b>3</b>) and B (<b>4</b>) were
isolated from the semisolid culture of strain KSH 883. The structures
of <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> were elucidated on the basis
of HRESIMS<sup><i>n</i></sup> experiments in conjunction
with comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis. Thus, the sequence of chilenopeptin
A (<b>1</b>) was identified as Ac-Aib<sup>1</sup>-Ser<sup>2</sup>-<b><u>Trp</u></b><sup><b>3</b></sup>-Aib<sup>4</sup>-Pro<sup>5</sup>-Leu<sup>6</sup>-Aib<sup>7</sup>-Aib<sup>8</sup>-Gln<sup>9</sup>-Aib<sup>10</sup>-Aib<sup>11</sup>-Gln<sup>12</sup>-Aib<sup>13</sup>-Leu<sup>14</sup>-Pheol<sup>15</sup>, while
chilenopeptin B (<b>2</b>) differs from <b>1</b> by the
replacement of Trp<sup>3</sup> by Phe<sup>3</sup>. Additionally, the
total synthesis of <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> was accomplished
by a solid-phase approach, confirming the absolute configuration of
all chiral amino acids as l. Both the chilenopeptins (<b>1</b> and <b>2</b>) and tylopeptins (<b>3</b> and <b>4</b>) were evaluated for their potential to inhibit the growth
of phytopathogenic organisms
