title: Piperastatin A, a new selective serine carboxypeptidase inhibitor produced by actinomycete. II. Physico-chemical properties and structure determination.
abstract: Piperastatin A, a new inhibitor of serine carboxypeptidase, was discovered in the culture broth of Streptomyces lavendofoliae MJ908-WF13. The molecular formula of piperastatin A was established as C38H67N9C10 by HRFAB-MS and elemental analysis. The structure was determined to be N-formyl-allo Ile-Thr-Leu-Val-Pip-Leu-Pip (Pip = hexahydropyridadine-3-carboxylic acid) by various spectral analyses of piperastatin A and piperastatin A methylester.
