摘要:
A highly N-methylated cyclic heptapeptide, (-)-ternatin, was isolated from the mushroom Coriolus versicolor, which significantly suppressed fat accumulation against 3T3-L1 triurine adipocytes (EC50 = 0.14 mu g/mL). Although ternatin was previously reported to be antibacterial or antimicrobial compound, its inhibitory effect on fat accumulation has been first shown. The structure of (-)-ternatin was revised to be a cyclo [D-allo-Ile(1)-L-(NMe)Ala(2)-L-(NMe)Leu(3)-L-Leu(4)-L-(NMe)Ala(5)-D-(NMe)Ala(6)-(2R,3R)-3-hydroxy-Leu(7)] by spectroscopic analysis and chemical synthesis.
