The three tripeptides δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteinyl-D-propargylglycine, δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteinyl-D-cyanoalanine and δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteinyl-D--norvaline were synthesised and incubated with the enzyme Isopenicillin N Synthase (IPNS).All incubation mixtures contained biologically active products, and led to the isolation of four new penicillins (β-ethyl, α-acetylenic, α- and β-nitrile) following purification by reverse phase HPLC.The stereochemistries of formation of monosubstituted penicillins with IPNS are rationalised.
