Chemical Classification of Cyclic Depsipeptides
Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2017 Cyclic depsipeptides (CDPs) are a family of cyclic peptide-related compounds, of which the ring is mainly composed of amino- and hydroxy acid residues joined by amide and ester bonds (at least one), leading to a wide diversity of fascinating chemical structures. They differ in both their ring structure and their side chains, especially by the nature of

The mycotoxin definition reconsidered towards fungal cyclic depsipeptides
Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part C, 2016 Currently, next to the major classes, cyclic depsipeptides beauvericin and enniatins are also positioned as mycotoxins. However, as there are hundreds more fungal cyclic depsipeptides already identified, should these not be considered as mycotoxins as well?
