A new trypsin–chymotrypsin inhibitor, with an N ‐terminal sequence showing some differences from the previously reported trypsin–chymotrypsin inhibitor, was isolated from the broad bean Vicia faba . The inhibitor was a peptide with a molecular mass of 13 kDa. It was adsorbed on Affi‐gel blue gel and CM‐Sepharose. It exerted antifungal activity toward Mycosphaerella arachidicola and Physalospora piricola . In addition, the trypsin–chymotrypsin inhibitor elicited a mitogenic response from mouse splenocytes and inhibited the activity of human immunodeficiency virus‐1 reverse transcriptase.
