    2-cephem allylic bromides are important, versatile intermediates for the derivatization of C-3’ position in cephalosporines. We showed that they can react smoothly with phenols, yielding the C-3’ cephem derivatives by C-alkylation of phenols

    Studies on the biosynthesis of syringomycin E and syringopeptin 22A

    Feeding radioactive putative precursors to the bacterial cultures of Pseudomonas syingae pv. syringae in the presence of a protein synthesis inhibitor allowed the formation of radiolabelled syringomycin and syringopeptin. The result indicates that a nonribosomal mechanism of peptide synthesis is operating in the formation of these peptide metabolites

    Evidence of the non ribosomal biosynthetic mechanism in the formation of syringomycin and syringopeptin, bioative lipodepsipeptides of the phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae

    Syringomycin and syringopeptins are lipodepsipeptide metabolites produced by the phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. Radioactively labelled lipopeptides were produced in whole cell cultures supplemented with radioactively labelled putative biosynthetic precursors in the presence of the protein synthesis inhibitor, chloramphenicol. The results indicate that these lipopeptides are formed by a nonribosomal mechanism of peptide synthesis

    Lipopeptide secondary metabolites from the phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae.

    Over the past twenty years or so, significant advances have been made in the study of the secondary metabolism of the widespread phytopathogenic Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas syringae. Interdisciplinary approach, which required the expertise of plant pathologists, chemists, biochemists and molecular biologists, led to the discovery of a new family of bioactive peptide secondary metabolites. The determination of their structures was pivotal for the investigations on their biosynthetic pathways, their relevance in the development of plant disease, and for the understanding of the molecular bases of their biological activities in plant, microbial and animal cells. In particular, the antibiotic activities of some of these compounds appear very interesting in the perspective of their utilization both in medicine and in agriculture. The goal of this chapter is to summarize the present knowledge in various areas of research on P. syringae peptide metabolites

    Biosynthetic origin of four modified aminoacidic residues in bioactive lipodepsipeptides prom Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae

    The modified amino acids 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, (2,4 Dab) 2,3-dehydroaminobutyric acid (2,3 Dhb) are present in lipopeptides syringopeptins and lipodespinonapeptides (LDNPs) produced by the phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. LDNPs contain also 3-hydroxy-aspartic acid (3-OH)Asp and 4-chlorothreonine (4-Cl) Thr. Feeding 14CThr and 14CAsp to chloramphenicol containing bacterial cultures produced radioactively labelled lipopeptide metabolites. Degradation studies showed that Thr is the biosynthetic precursor of (4-Cl)Thr and 2,3-Dhb, while Asp, besides labelling the above residues, is also incorporated in (3-OH)Asp and 2,4-Dab

    A general simple method for the synthesis of pure secondary amines , starting from the primary amines is reported. The method provides a procedure for the preparation of symmetrical secondary amines free of tertiary amines

    Biosintesi della vitamina B12: studi sulle ultime reazioni

    Due ipotetici precursori dell’acido cobirinico, macrociclo tetrapirrolico della vitamina B12, acidi 5’-normetil e 15’-normetil cobirinici sono stati sintetizzati in forma marcata con trizio. Esperimenti di incorporazione enzimatica nell’acido cobirinico hanno mostrato che di questi composti non sono i precursori biosintetici della vitamina B12
