R. Andruszkiewicz et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTICANDIDAL ACTIVITIES OF OPTIMIZED ANALOGS OF ANTIBIOTIC SCH-37137, Journal of antibiotics, 47(6), 1994, pp. 715-723
Peptide analogues of Sch 37137 the antifungal antibiotic have been syn
thesized and evaluated in vitro against Candida sp. Di- and tripeptide
s containing methionine, leucine, norvaline, lysine, glutamic acid and
-3-(trans-epoxysuccinamoyl)-L-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid, (EADP) were
obtained. Peptides containing (D)-, and (L)-trans-epoxysuccinamic acid
were also prepared. All of the analogues examined displayed in genera
l higher anticandidal activity than a mixture of. diastereomers of Sch
37137.
