摘要
Thioviridamide-like compounds are a unique subfamily of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides and contain characteristic thioamide bonds and S-[(Z)-2-aminovinyI]-Dcysteine(AviCys). Members of this family are active against a number of cancer cell lines. The distribution, biosynthetic machinery and the mode of action of thioviridamide-like compounds remain largely unknown. In this review, we outlined recent advances in the discovery of thioviridamide-like peptide natural products and the effort in the elucidation of their biosynthetic origin.
