R. Andruszkiewicz et al., SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL-ACTIVITIES OF PEPTIDES CONTAINING -3-(S)-2-BROMOSUCCINAMOYL-(S)-2,3-DIAMINOPROPANOIC ACID, European journal of medicinal chemistry, 29(1), 1994, pp. 61-67
A series of peptides with N-3-(S)-bromosuccinamoyl-(S)-2,3-diaminoprop
anoic acid, a novel selective inhibitor of glucosamine-6-phosphate syn
thase were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for antimicrobial activi
ty against selected bacterial and fungal strains including dermatophyt
es. All the peptides were found to be active against a broad range of
bacteria and fungi. Tripeptides exhibited remarkable anticandidal acti
vity.
