Malformin C is a bicyclic pentapeptide containing L-leucine, D-isoleucine, L-valine, and two D-cysteines coupled with a disulfide-bond bridge. Malformins A and C, originally isolated from the culture broth of Aspergillus niger, were found to abrogate the bleomycin-induced G2 arrest in Jurkat cells with IC50 values of 480nM and 0.9nM, respectively. Malformins may be promising candidates as anti-cancer agents.
