Abstract
A series of electrophilic glutamine analogues based on 6-diazo-5-oxo-norleu cine has been prepared, using novel synthetic routes, and evaluated as inhi bitors of Escherichia coli. glucosamine synthetase. The gamma -dimethylsulp honium salt analogue of glutamine was found to be one of the most potent in activators of this enzyme yet reported, with an apparent second order rate constant (k(2)/K-i) of 3.5 x 10(5) M-1 min(-1).
