Antamanide is a cyclic decapeptide isolated from a fungus, the death cap "Amanita phalloides". [cite journal |author=Wieland T, Faulstich H |title=Amatoxins, phallotoxins, phallolysin, and antamanide: the biologically active components of poisonous Amanita mushrooms |journal=CRC Crit. Rev. Biochem. |volume=5 |issue=3 |pages=185–260 |year=1978 |pmid=363352 |doi=] It is being studied as a potential anti-toxin against the effects of phalloidin and for its potential for treating edema.
