title: A novel chitinase inhibitor from a marine bacterium, Pseudomonas sp.
abstract: A new chitinase inhibitor, CI-4, was isolated from the culture broth of a marine bacterium Pseudomonas sp. IZ208. The structure of CI-4 was determined to be cyclo(L-Arg-D-Pro) by spectral studies and comparison with a synthetic sample. CI-4 showed inhibitory activity against chitinase.
