Description

2,5-Diketopiperazine is a trifluoroacetic acid derivative that has been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells. The molecular docking analysis revealed that 2,5-Diketopiperazine binds to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and intermolecular hydrogen bonding may be involved in its interaction with EGF. 2,5-Diketopiperazine also inhibits the activity of fatty acid synthase by binding to the acyl carrier protein and blocking the formation of malonyl coenzyme A. This compound can be found in plants and some marine invertebrates as well as in etoac extract. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit cyclic peptide production from arachidonic acid.
