cyclo-l-trp-l-trp

Cyclo-L-Trp-L-Trp is a broad-spectrum antifungal. It also induces a high degree of acetylation of histones.

Brevianamide F (Cyclo(L-Pro-L-Trp)), also known as cyclo-(L-Trp-L-Pro), is a naturally occurring 2,5-diketopiperazine with notable breast cancer resistance protein inhibitory activity.

Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Trp) is a diketopiperazine metabolite initially derived from Penicillium, exhibiting antibacterial (MICs = 125-1000 µg/ml) and antifungal activities (MICs = 8-64 µg/ml). It also demonstrates antioxidant properties by reducing the production of hydroxy radicals, as evidenced in an electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy assay (IC50 = 1.8 µM). Additionally, Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Trp) has been identified as a bitter compound capable of quickly crossing rat taste cell membranes ex vivo at a 1 mM concentration. Furthermore, it acts as a melatonin receptor agonist in X. laevis melanophores, suppressing cAMP accumulation at a 20 µM concentration, with this effect being negated by the melatonin receptor antagonist luzindole.
