Leucinostatin Y, a new peptaibiotic, was isolated from the culture broth of the entomoparasitic fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum 40-H-28. The planar structure was elucidated by detailed analysis of its NMR and MS/MS data. The absolute configurations of the amino acids were partially determined by an advanced Marfey's method. The biological activities of leucinostatin Y were assessed using human pancreatic cancer cells, revealing the importance of the C-terminus of leucinostatins for preferential cytotoxicity to cancer cells under glucose-deprived conditions and inhibition of mitochondrial function.

Fungal associations with nematodes have attracted scientific attention because of the need to develop new biocontrol agents. In this context, , an antagonistic fungus previously isolated from the plant parasitic cyst nematode , was selected to carry out an in-depth metabolomic study for its active metabolites. Herein, three new nonapeptide peptaibols with leucinostatin based sequences were isolated and identified by 1, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS-MS.

The crystal structure of the natural nonapeptide antibiotic helioferin has been determined and refined to 0.9 Å resolution. Helioferin consists of helioferin A and B, which contain 2-(2'-aminopropyl)aminoethanol (Apae) and 2-[(2'-aminopropyl)methylamino]ethanol (Amae) at their respective alkanolamine termini.

The fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus produces leucinostatins—peptaibiotics that exert a range of biological activities including antimalarial, antiviral, antitumor and phytotoxicity. In this paper, we developed an analytical method employing LC-MS/MS in the precursor ion and product ion scan modes to elucidate five new leucinostatins. Direct Infusion (DI-MS) helped to identify the most abundant leucinostatins: F, D B2, S, A and K.
