Enzymatic ring expansion of penicillins to cephalosporins: side chain specificity

Abstract

Structural variants on the acylamino-side chains of penicillins as substrates for the ring expansion enzyme from Cephalosporium acremonium CO728 show that a six carbon chain terminating in a carboxy group permits efficient conversion into cephems with the exception of δ-(L-α-aminoadipoly)[5-(5S)-amino-5-carboxypentanoyl].
