Pseudophomins A and B are cyclic lipodepsipeptides isolated from Pseudomonas fluorescens strain BRG100, a bacterium with potential application for biocontrol of plant pathogens and weeds. Their chemical structures were established by a combination of spectroscopic data, X-ray crystallography, and selective chemical degradation. This unique chemical degradation allowed the unambiguous determination of the absolute configuration of the amino acid residue Leu-1, due to gamma-lactam formation followed by selective cleavage of the adjacent N(8)-C(7) bond. To the best of our knowledge this is the first application of gamma-lactam formation to the determination of absolute configuration of an adjacent amino acid. Pseudophomin B showed higher antifungal activity against the phytopathogens Phoma lingam/Leptosphaeria maculans and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum than pseudophomin A, and is likely to be the main component responsible for the antifungal activity of EtOAc extracts of strain BRG100. By contrast, pseudophomin A showed stronger inhibition of green foxtail (Setaria viridis) root germination than pseudophomin B.
