Depsipeptide

Depsipeptide

A depsipeptide is a peptide in which one or more of the amide (-CONHR-) bonds are replaced by ester (COOR) bonds.[1]

Depsipeptides have often been used in research to probe the importance of hydrogen bond networks in protein folding kinetics and thermodynamics. They are also found in nature as natural products. An infamous example is the L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Lac motif found in vancomycin resistant bacteria's cell wall building blocks. The amide to ester mutation disrupts its hydrogen bonding network with vancomycin, which is key its antibiotic activity.

Medicine

Depsipeptide is also used to refer to romidepsin which is a member of the bicyclic peptide class of histone deacetylase inhibitors and was first isolated as a fermentation product from Chromobacterium violaceum by the Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Company.[2] It is being used in the treatment of some cancers where it is thought to reactivate silenced genes.

The depsipeptide etamycin, a newly isolated natural product from a marine actinomycete, shows potent activity in vitro and in mice against MRSA.[3] It was first observed to have a positive role on gene expression in 1990. A clinical trial was conducted in 1996 for T cell lymphoma. [4]

Another natural depsipeptide HDAC inhibitor is spiruchostatin A.[5]
