“…We detected various types of beauvericin and its derivatives, such as beauvericin A, bassianolide and beauverolide A, which had pharmacological properties including antitumor ( Zhan et al., 2007 ; Jiang et al., 2014 ; Wu et al., 2017 ), antibacterial ( Kouri et al., 2005 ; Mei et al., 2009 ), antiviral, and anticonvulsant effects ( Jiang et al., 2023 ). Cyclodipeptide is formed by the internal cyclization of two amino acids, with 2,5-diketopiperazine or 2,5-dioxypiperazine as its parent nucleus ( Wei, 2020 ). There were several types of cyclic dipeptides identified by MALDI-MSI, such as cyclo(Tyr-Val) and cyclo(Ala-Pro), with the bioactivities of anti-tumor, neuroprotective, immune and metabolic regulatory, and anti-inflammatory effects ( Qiang and Mei, 2014 ).…”
