Description

plitidepsin: a cyclodepsipeptide isolated from Aplidium albicans; has a pyruvoyl-proline residue instead of the lactyl-proline residue found in the linear peptide moiety of didemnin B [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

plitidepsin : A didemnin that is didemin B in which the hydroxy group of the 1-(2-hydroxypropanoyl)-L-prolinamide moiety has been oxidised to the corresponding ketone. It was originally isolated from the Mediterranean tunicate Aplidium albicans.

Pharmacokinetics

Plitidepsin linear elimination from plasma, dose-proportionality up to 8. An open three-compartment pharmacokinetic model and a nonlinear binding to red blood cells model were used.
