Sa. Adediran et al., A "cephalosporin-like" cyclic depsipeptide: Synthesis and reaction with beta-lactam-recognizing enzymes, BIOORG MED, 9(3), 1999, pp. 341-346
The cyclic depsipeptide 8-carboxy-3-phenylacetamido-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzop
yran-2-one a cyclic analog of aryl phenaceturates with structural similarit
y to cephalosporins, has been synthesized as a potential substrate/inhibito
r of beta-lactam-recognizing enzymes. It was found to be a tight-binding, p
oor substrate of class A beta-lactamases and an irreversible inhibitor of s
everal DD-peptidases. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
