✦ Synopsis
The paper describes the synthesis of two epimeric tdpeptides &(L-cx-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyI-D-(Omethyl)-D-threonine (13) and &(L-ct-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-(O-methyl)-D-allothreonine ( 14), modified substrates for the isopenicillin-N synthase enzyme. The D-allothreonine tripeptide ( 14) has been shown to be an excellent substrate for the enzyme whereas the D-threonine epimer did not react at all. The compound formed by the enzyme with the D-allothreonine tripeptide is a new 2-ctmethoxypenicillin.
