Trichopolyn VI: a new peptaibol insecticidal compound discovered using a recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae screening system

[摘要] In the course of searching for insecticides from soil microorganisms, we found that a fermentation broth of the fungus, Trichoderma brevicompactum FKI-6324, produced Trichopolyn VI, a new peptaibol, which possessed significant insecticidal potential. Spectroscopic analysis showed the compound to be a new trichopolyn I derivative. This paper describes the isolation, structure elucidation and biological activity of trichopolyn VI.
