Plipastatin A1 and fengycin IX were experimentally proven to be identical compounds, while these had been considered as diastereomers due to the permutation of the enantiomeric pair of Tyr in most papers. The H-1 NMR spectrum changed to become quite similar to that of plipastatin A1, when the sample which provided resembled spectrum of fengycin IX was treated with KOAc followed by LH-20 gel filtration. Our structural investigations disclosed that the structures of these molecules should be settled into that of plipastatin A1 by Umezawa (L-Tyr4 and D-Tyr10). (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Clicked AC regioisomer cationic cyclodextrins for enantioseparation
Novel AC regioisomer cationic cyclodextrins have been successfully prepared with azide/alkyne click chemistry. The clicked CDs were explored for the enantioseparation of acidic racemates in capillary electrophoresis.
