Fungal metabolites. XIII. Isolation and structural elucidation of new peptaibols, trichodecenins-I and -II, from Trichoderma viride

Three new groups of peptaibols, trichodecenins, trichorovins and trichocellins, have been isolated from conidia of the fungus, Trichoderma viride. The structures of trichodecenins-I and -II were established by positive-ion fast-atom bombardment, collision-induced dissociation mass spectrometry and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Trichodecenins-I and -II have a (Z)-4-decenoyl group, six amino acid residues and a leucinol moiety in the molecules. Trichodecenin-II was synthesized by the solution-phase method.
