Research Excerpts

Overview

Argifin is a cyclic pentapeptide that was originally isolated as a fungal natural product.

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Argifin is a cyclic pentapeptide that was originally isolated as a fungal natural product."( Natural product-guided discovery of a fungal chitinase inhibitor.

Effects

Argifin shows strong inhibitory activity against chitinases. Argifin has properties that render it unsuitable as a drug development candidate.

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"As argifin has properties that render it unsuitable as a drug development candidate, we devised a mechanism to create the structural component of argifin that bestows the chitinase inhibition and introduce it into a 14-membered macrolide scaffold."( Creation of Customized Bioactivity within a 14-Membered Macrolide Scaffold: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation Using a Family-18 Chitinase.
