cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro)

- Overview
  - Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) is a diketopiperazine formed by the fusion of phenylalanine and proline, reported as a secondary metabolite of fungi and bacteria. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) is capable of activating N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs). Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) is also capable of activating or antagonizing other LuxR-based quorum-sensing systems.
