Summary. A novel natural peptide ergot alkaloid γ-ergokryptinine containing norleucine has been isolated from ergot sclerotia of the field-growing parasitic fungus Claviceps purpurea CCM 8059. Its structure was deduced from the NMR and mass spectral data. The final structural proof was provided by the crystal structure determination, which is the first X-ray structure of a natural Nle-containing secondary metabolite. The conformations of three ergopeptinines: γ-ergokryptinine, ergoladinine, and α-ergokryptinine were compared.

NMR studies showed that 11-demethylcyclosporin A (cyclosporin E) and 11-demethylcyclosporin B exist as single species both in polar and nonpolar solvents. They adopt the same conformation that was found in the solid state.
