Structures of aureobasidins B to R

J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1991 Nov;44(11):1187-98. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.44.1187.

Abstract

Structures of 17 minor forms of aureobasidins (Abs), Abs B-R, were elucidated by mass fragmentation and amino acid analysis. The fragmentation patterns by FAB-MS spectroscopy of Abs A-E seemed to follow predictable rules, so we used the rules to elucidate the 13 other Abs. All Abs consisted of eight amino acids and one hydroxy acid.
