Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-valyl-L-tryptophan anhydride
DescriptionL-valyl-L-tryptophan anhydride is a 2,5-dioxopiperazine and a metabolite described in biomedical literature. This compound is notable for its role in the interaction between certain pathogens and plants, specifically in the context of virulence. For instance, it has been reported that some strains of pathogens, such as those virulent to the traditionally resistant brown mustard (Brassica juncea), produce L-valyl-L-tryptophan anhydride, which differs from the dioxopiperazines produced by blackleg isolates that affect canola (B. napus) (PMID:11711067 ). The presence of this anhydride suggests a potential mechanism by which pathogens can adapt and overcome plant defenses, highlighting its significance in plant pathology and the broader field of chemical ecology. Understanding the synthesis and function of L-valyl-L-tryptophan anhydride may provide insights into developing resistant plant varieties and improving agricultural practices.
