Roquefortine C is a cyclodipeptide mycotoxin derived from the diketopiperazine cyclo(Trp-dehydro-His) and is a relatively common fungal metabolite produced by a number of Penicillium species. It is also considered one of the most important fungal contaminants of carbonated beverages, beer, wine, meats, cheese and bread.

Roquefortine C contains the unusual E-dehydrohistidine moiety, a system that typically undergoes facile

However isoroquefortine C is not a natural product and in contrast to roquefortine C does not bind iron. Both have been synthesised.[10]
