As none of the IPIX aficionados here can be bothered to actually do any research, and similarly do not appear to understand elementary organic chemistry, I can answer your question:
Compound 30 is not brilacidin.
An example of an n-heptyl group (it just means a group with a hydrocarbon backbone with 7 carbon atoms, including a (CH3)C group:
And here is an arginine residue:
I'm sure all the IPIX mavens who got all excited can see that actually brilacidin has no n-heptyl group.
I'm sure you can all work out the arginine residue bit for yourself.*
You're welcome.
* Just kidding - I know you can't. Brilacidin does in fact have two arginine residues, but it's not Compound 30.
