Cyclic dipeptides and the human microbiome: Opportunities and challenges
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2023 Research into the human microbiome has implicated its constituents in a variety of non-communicable diseases, with certain microbes found to promote health and others leading to dysbiosis and pathogenesis.Microbes communicate and coordinate their behaviour through the secretion of small molecules, such as cyclic dipeptides (CDPs), into their ...

The Biological Activity of Selected Cyclic Dipeptides
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1998 Abstract Cyclic dipeptides are widely used as models for larger peptides because of their simplicity and limited conformational freedom. Some cyclic dipeptides have been shown to be antiviral, antibiotic and anti-tumour. The aim of this study was to determine the biological activity of four cyclic dipeptides synthesized in this ...

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.

Rational and combinatorial tailoring of bioactive cyclic dipeptides [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Modified cyclic dipeptides represent a diverse family of microbial secondary metabolites. They display a broad variety of biological and pharmacological activities and have long been recognized as privileged structures with the ability to bind to a wide range of receptors.
