                                        Comment: Bis1 is a thiazole analogue of the marine cyanobacterium‐derived linear amide, bisebromoamide (BBA; PubChem CID 44520348) [1]. BBA is a nonribosomal peptide that is synthesised in cyanobacteria in a process involving nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) enzyme complexes. 
                            
                            
                          
                                
                                    
                                
                          
                                   
                                   
                                  
                                    
                                    
                                    The IUPAC condensed name for this peptide is pivaloyl-Ala-N(Me)D-Tyr(3-Br)-Unk-D-Leu-N(Me)Phe-Pro-Et.  |

| Bioactivity Comments | 
| Bis1 inhibits HCT116 colon cancer cell viability in vitro with an IC50 of 45nM [1]. It exerts its effects by disrupting actin dynamics and causing aggregation of F-actin filaments, an action that leads to cell apoptosis. This effect is likely mediated by protein kinase C (PKC) pathway inhibition. |
