Fellutamides are tripeptide derivatives from Penicillium fellutanum and other fungi. They are potent proteasome inhibitor that stimulates nerve growth factor synthesis in vitro.[1][2]

Fellutamide A
Fellutamide B

Fellutamides A and F were first isolated from Aspergillus versicolor.[3][4] Fellutamides C and D were first isolated from an undescribed Metulocladosporiella (Chaetothyriales).[5]

Fellutamide B strongly inhibits the growth of the tuberculosis-causing bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[6] Its biosynthetic pathway has been determined in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans.[7]
