Roquefortine E, also known as roquefortine C or cyclo(L-Pro-L-Val-L-Phe-D-Val-L-Val), is a cyclic peptide derived from the fungus Penicillium roqueforti. It serves as a natural preservative in cheese, offering unique properties that have garnered significant attention in the food industry and other sectors. Extensive research has been conducted to explore its potential applications. While the mechanism of action of Roquefortine E is not fully elucidated, it is believed to involve multiple pathways. Studies indicate that it disrupts the cell membranes of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, thus impeding their growth. Additionally, Roquefortine E has been found to inhibit enzymes involved in protein and nucleic acid synthesis, as well as enzymes participating in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It has further demonstrated inhibitory effects on enzymes engaged in the synthesis of cell wall components.
