A NEW CYCLIC PEPTIDE FROM THE MARINE FUNGAL STRAIN Aspergillus sp AF119

A new cyclic heptapeptide containing gamma-aminobutyric acid in the ring, namely unguisin E (1), was isolated from the fermentation culture of Aspergillus sp. AF119. The structure was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR experiments, and HR ESI-Q-TOF mass spectrometry, and by comparison with those reported. Compound 1 was evaluated for its antimicrobial activities by the paper diffusion method.
