Biochem/physiol Actions

Marine-derived cyclic depsipeptide with potent antiviral, immunosuppressive and anticancer activities; induces rapid apoptosis; elongation factor 1A inhibitor.Didemnin B is a marine-derived cyclic depsipeptide with potent antiviral, immunosuppressive and anticancer activities. Didemnin B selectively induces rapid apoptosis through dual inhibition of palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) and eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 (EEF1A1). Binds to the eEF1A(GTP)-aa-tRNA ternary complex and inhibits translation. Didemnin B improves nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) histopathology, glucose homeostasis, and dyslipidemia in western diet-induced obese mice.

Modern cancer treatment employs many effective chemotherapeutic agents originally discovered from natural sources. The cyclic depsipeptide didemnin B has demonstrated impressive anticancer activity in preclinical models. Clinical use has been approved but is limited by sparse patient responses combined with

Rapid and accurate mRNA translation requires efficient codon-dependent delivery of the correct aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) to the ribosomal A site. In mammals, this fidelity-determining reaction is facilitated by the GTPase elongation factor-1 alpha (eEF1A), which escorts aa-tRNA as an eEF1A(GTP)-aa-tRNA ternary
