Lactobacillus plantarum LBP-K10 was identified to be the most potent antifungal strain from Korean traditional fermented vegetables. The culture filtrate of this strain showed remarkable antifungal activity against Ganoderma boninense. Five fractions from the culture filtrate were observed to have an inhibitory effect against G. boninense. Also, the electron ionization and chemical ionization indicated that these compounds might be cyclic dipeptides. Of the five active fractions, two fractions showed the most significant anti-Ganoderma activity, and one of these fractions inhibited the growth of Candida albicans. These compounds were identified to be cis-cyclo(L-Val-L-Pro) and cis-cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro), as confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

A new class of cyclic dipeptide-isatin hybrids was synthesized using 2,5-diketopiperazine and various isatin derivatives bearing flexible chains and extended aromatic rings in a double Knoevenagel condensation process. These new series demonstrate high solubility and good thermal stability with decomposition temperatures exceeding 370 °C, especially the molecular design with efficient space-filling (CI5 and CI6) stabilized columnar liquid crystalline phase. The hole and electron carrier mobility of the CI5 compound, measured using the space charge limited current (SCLC) technique, were found to be 9.

Article Synopsis
  • - The oral cavity is home to a diverse range of bacteria known as the oral microbiome, which plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health, but imbalances can lead to diseases like dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis.
  • - The study investigated a specific metabolite extracted from a bacterial strain, which showed the ability to inhibit biofilm formation in a dose-dependent manner, effectively reducing biofilm thickness as observed through confocal microscopy.
  • - Further analysis identified the compound as a small cyclic peptide, cyclo (-L-Leu-L-Pro), and it was found to disrupt biofilms by altering the expression of key genes involved in biofilm formation.
