A new peptide called astin J (1) was isolated from the roots of Aster tataricus. The structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformation from a cyclic pentapeptide, astin C, isolated from A. tataricus to the analogous acyclic peptide, 2. Antileukemic activities of the series of acyclic peptides are also described.
