Insecticidal activities of histone deacetylase inhibitors against a dipteran parasite of sheep, Lucilia cuprina

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2017
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are being investigated for the control of various human parasites. Here we investigate their potential as insecticides for the control of a major ecto-parasite of sheep, the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina.

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3788-3813, July 2026.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

Structural Diversity and Biological Activities of Cyclic Depsipeptides from Fungi [PDF]

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Cyclic depsipeptides (CDPs) are cyclopeptides in which amide groups are replaced by corresponding lactone bonds due to the presence of a hydroxylated carboxylic acid in the peptide structure. These peptides sometimes display additional chemical modifications, including unusual amino acid residues in their structures.

Medusamide A, a Panamanian Cyanobacterial Depsipeptide with Multiple β‑Amino Acids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
From a collection of marine cyanobacteria made in the Coiba National Park along the Pacific coast of the Republic of Panama a novel cyclic depsipeptide, given the trivial name medusamide A, has been isolated and fully characterized. Medusamide A contains

A pipecolic acid-rich branched cyclic depsipeptide ulleungamide C from a Streptomyces species induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in promyelocytic leukemia cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
In this study, screening by LC-MS and cytotoxicity-guided isolation led to the identification of ulleungamide C (1), a previously unknown pipecolic acid-rich branched cyclic depsipeptide, from a soil actinobacterium Streptomyces sp. KCB13F003.

The role of the cyclic depsipeptide rings in antibiotics.

open access: yesThe Journal of Antibiotics, 1985
The physical and biological roles of the cyclic depsipeptides of actinomycin, quinomycin and triostin antibiotic families are proposed by examining the crystal structures of d(GC)-actinomycin D and d(CGTACG)-triostin A. The analyses suggest that not only are DNA-amino acid hydrogen-bonding and chromophore-base pair stacking crucially important for DNA ...

Tryptophan‐Selective Chemical Modification of Peptides by Thioether‐Mediated Sulfenylation

open access: yesChemistryEurope
Chemical modification of biomolecules such as peptides and proteins is an important technology for the development of new functional molecules. Herein, a thioether‐mediated sulfenylation for tryptophan (Trp)‐selective chemical modification under mild ...

First total synthesis of hormaomycin, a naturally occurring depsipeptide with interesting biological activities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Some unique features were disclosed during the structure elucidation of the cyclic depsipeptide hormaomycin (1), first isolated in 1989 from a Streptomyces griseoflavus strain and found to have quite an interesting spectrum of biological activities ...

Anthraquinones From Epicoccum sp., a Fungus Isolated From Gut of Dione juno That Feeds on Passifloras

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
An Epicoccum fungus was isolated from gut of larvae of the butterfly Dione juno juno that feeds intensively on leaves of Passifloras. This fungus produces hydroxyanthraquinones that moderately inhibits growth of some Bacillus that coexist with the fungus in the insect gut, suggesting that it is probably important for microbial embalance in gut flora ...

Vacuolization as a Novel Approach to Cancer Therapy

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review discusses the novel strategy of inducing vacuole formation in cancer cells using small molecules, that induce nonapoptotic cell death mechanisms, such as paraptosis, oncosis, autophagy, and methuosis, and its potential in overcoming resistance to apoptosis‐based cancer therapies.
