Abstract

Trichofumins A-D were isolated from cultures of Trichoderma sp. HKI 0276 as new 11 and 13mer peptaibols. Similar to 15mer peptaibols they promote morphogenesis of the fungus Phoma destructiva and cause hypothermia in mice as a characteristic of neuroleptic activity. Membrane measurements using a synthetic BLM model showed that A, B, C and D increased membrane permeability for cations in a similar manner as was shown for larger peptaibols but with comparably lower efficiency.
