Antamanide
Chemical compound / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antamanide is a cyclic decapeptide isolated from a fungus, the death cap: Amanita phalloides.[1] It is being studied as a potential anti-toxin against the effects of phalloidin and for its potential for treating edema.[2] It contains 1 valine residue, 4 proline residues, 1 alanine residue, and 4 phenylalanine residues with a structure of c(Val-Pro-Pro-Ala-Phe-Phe-Pro-Pro-Phe-Phe). It was isolated by determining the source of the anti-phalloidin activity from a lipophillic extraction from the organism. It has been shown that antamanide can react to form alkali metal ion complexes. These include complexes with sodium and calcium ions. When these complexes are formed, the cyclopeptide structure undergoes a conformational change.[1]
