K. Matsuzaki et al., CHLOROPEPTINS, NEW ANTI-HIV ANTIBIOTICS INHIBITING GP120-CD4 BINDING FROM STREPTOMYCES SP .2. STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION OF CHLOROPEPTIN-I, Journal of antibiotics, 50(1), 1997, pp. 66-69
The structure of chloropeptin I, a gp120-CD4 binding inhibitor having
a potent anti-HIV activity, was elucidated by H-1 and C-13 NMR experim
ents and chemical degradation. It is a peptide antibiotic consisting o
f six aryl amino acids residues and an a-ore aryl acid some of which h
ave chlorine atoms.
