Cyclo(Ala-Phe)

CAS: 14474-78-3

Cyclo(Ala-Phe) is a cyclic dipeptide, a type of secondary metabolite, which is biosynthetically derived from the condensation of the amino acids alanine and phenylalanine. Its source primarily involves microbial or synthetic pathways, often isolated from bacterial species under specific conditions. The mode of action of Cyclo(Ala-Phe) involves its ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes, leading to antimicrobial effects against a range of bacterial strains. Research has indicated its potential role in altering the permeability of cell membranes and interfering with essential biochemical pathways in microorganisms. Cyclo(Ala-Phe) finds utility in scientific research as a model compound to study peptide interactions and as an antimicrobial agent with potential applications in developing new antibiotics or preservatives. Its cyclic structure confers stability, making it an interesting subject for studies on peptide bioactivity and resistance mechanisms. Scientists are exploring its various applications, including its potential role in combating antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.
