L,L-Cyclo(leucylprolyl)
L,L-Cyclo(leucylprolyl) is found in alcoholic beverages. L,L-Cyclo(leucylprolyl) is produced by microorganisms and is a bitter component of sake and contributes to the flavour of beer. L,L-Cyclo(leucylprolyl), also known as cyclo(leu-pro) or cyclo(L-prolyl-L-leucyl), belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids and derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon), or a derivative thereof. L,L-Cyclo(leucylprolyl) is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on L,L-Cyclo(leucylprolyl). L-Leucyl-L-proline lactam. CAS Common Chemistry.

Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Pro) is an inhibitory substance targeting to production of norsolorinic acid (NA，a precursor of aflatoxin)，which can be isolated from A. xylosoxidans NFRI-A1. Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Pro) inhibits accumulation of NA by A. parasiticus NFRI-95 and inhibits spore formation. Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Pro) inhibits aflatoxin production with an IC50 of 0.2 mg/mL in A. parasiticus SYS-4[1].
