Efrapeptin

Efrapeptins are peptides produced by fungi in the genus Tolypocladium that have antifungal, insecticidal, and mitochondrial ATPase inhibitory activities.

[1] They are produced via a biosynthetic pathway similar to, but simpler than, the ciclosporin pathway with nonribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) and/or polyketide synthase (PKS) being the key elements.

[2] The amino acid sequences of efrapeptins are:[citation needed]
