Product Description
Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) can be extracted from the cell-free culture supernatant of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas alcaligenes. It is an antifungal cyclic dipeptide. Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) inhibits IFN-β production by interfering with the activation of retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I). Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) also has free radical scavenging activity with IC50 of 24 µM.
Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) is a cyclic dipeptide (diketopiperazine) formed by the fusion of L-phenylalanine and L-proline. It is a secondary metabolite of fungi and bacteria, including Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas alcaligenes. It has the molecular formula C₁₄H₁₆N₂O₂ and molecular weight 244.29. Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activities, including activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It also inhibits IFN-β production by interfering with the activation of retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) targets multiple cellular pathways. It exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activity, suggesting interactions with bacterial and fungal cell components. It also targets the retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) signaling pathway, inhibiting IFN-β production by interfering with RIG-I activation. RIG-I is a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor that detects viral RNA and triggers innate immune responses. By inhibiting IFN-β production, Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) modulates antiviral immune responses.
ln Vitro
Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, including activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It also shows antifungal activity. The compound inhibits IFN-β production by interfering with RIG-I activation. These activities suggest potential applications in antimicrobial and immunomodulatory research. Specific IC₅₀ values for various activities are not extensively documented.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) are limited in the literature. Based on its in vitro antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities, it is anticipated to have potential in vivo efficacy in models of bacterial or fungal infection and in immune modulation. However, specific animal studies detailing its therapeutic effects and pharmacokinetics are not extensively documented.
Enzyme Assay
The non-cellular enzyme/receptor binding assays for Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) would typically involve antimicrobial activity evaluation using broth microdilution or agar diffusion methods against bacterial and fungal strains. The compound's ability to inhibit IFN-β production can be assessed using RIG-I signaling assays in cell-free systems, where RIG-I is incubated with viral RNA and the compound, and downstream signaling is measured. However, specific assays are not extensively documented.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) typically use bacterial and fungal cultures to evaluate antimicrobial activity. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are determined by broth microdilution. For immunomodulatory activity, cells such as macrophages or dendritic cells are treated with the compound and stimulated with viral RNA or other RIG-I agonists. IFN-β and other cytokine levels are quantified by ELISA. Cell viability is assessed to ensure observed effects are not due to cytotoxicity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) are not extensively documented. Based on its antimicrobial activity, typical study designs would involve mouse models of bacterial or fungal infection. The compound would be administered orally or intraperitoneally. Bacterial or fungal load in target organs, survival rates, and inflammatory markers would be evaluated. For immunomodulatory studies, models of viral infection or autoimmune disease could be employed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) are not extensively characterized. As a cyclic dipeptide with molecular weight 244.29, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability due to its small size and cyclic structure, which provides resistance to proteolytic degradation compared to linear peptides. Metabolic pathways likely involve hydrolysis of the diketopiperazine ring and subsequent amino acid metabolism. Specific PK parameters are not well documented.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) are limited. As a naturally occurring cyclic dipeptide, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, comprehensive toxicology studies are not available. The compound may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound.
