Synthesis of cyclopeptides from plants, fungi and sea animals*
نویسنده
چکیده
A very flexible synthesis of non proteinogenic amino acids and an effective ring closure method for formation of macrolactams were elaborated. These methods are prerequisite for economical synthesis of cyclopeptides . The total syntheses of several cyclopeptides which had been isolated from plants, fungi and lower sea animals are described.

متن کاملIsolation and Screening of Lipolytic Fungi From Coastal Waters of the Southern Caspian Sea (North of Iran)
BACKGROUND Lipases (acylglycerol acylhydrolase, E. C. 3. 1. 1. 3) are widely distributed among microorganisms, animals and plants, catalyzing the hydrolysis of triglycerides to free fatty acids and glycerol. Their commercial application includes pharmaceutical, chemical, and paper industries. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to isolate and screen lipolytic fungi from coastal waters of the southern...
