Cyclic Dipeptides Formation From Linear Dipeptides Under Potentially Prebiotic Earth Conditions
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Cyclic dipeptides (DKPs) are peptide precursors and chiral catalysts in the prebiotic process. This study reports proline-containing DKPs that were spontaneously obtained from linear dipeptides under an aqueous solution. Significantly, the yields of DKPs

Staphylococcus aureus Exploits a Non-ribosomal Cyclic Dipeptide to Modulate Survival within Epithelial Cells and Phagocytes. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2016 Community-acquired (CA) Staphylococcus aureus cause various diseases even in healthy individuals. Enhanced virulence of CA-strains is partly attributed to increased production of toxins such as phenol-soluble modulins (PSM).

Cyclic Dipeptide Shuttles as a Novel Skin Penetration Enhancement Approach: Preliminary Evaluation with Diclofenac. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a peptide shuttle in delivering diclofenac into and through human epidermis. Diclofenac was conjugated to a novel phenylalanyl-N-methyl-naphthalenylalanine-derived diketopiperazine (DKP) shuttle and to TAT (a ...

Fragmentation of 2,5-diketopiperazine cyclic dipeptide ions
Technical Physics, 2022 The mechanism of radiation damage to 2,5-diketopiperazine (DKP, C4H6N2O2) molecules in the gas phase upon interaction with He2+ ions with an energy Ep = 4 keV/u has been investigated. The relative cross sections of various elementary processes occurring in single collisions of DKP with ions have been measured for the first time.
