The bacterial cell wall is recycled extensively during the course of cell growth. The first recycling event involves the catalytic action of thelytic transglycosylase enzymes, which produce an uncommon 1,6-anhydropy ranose moiety during separation of the muramyl residues from the peptidoglycan, the major constituent of the cell wall. This product, an N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine- (1→4)-1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl-β-Dmuramylpeptide, is either internalized to initiate the recycling process or diffuses into the milieu to cause stimulation of the pro-inflammatory responses by the host. We report the total syntheses of N-acetyl-β-Dglucosamine-( 1→4)-1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl- β-D-muramyl-L-Ala-γ-D-Glu-meso-DAP-D-Ala-D-Ala (compound 1, the product of lytic transglycosylase action on the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria) and N-acetyl-β-Dglucosamine-( 1→4)-1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl- β-D-muramyl-L-Ala-γ-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala (compound 2, from lytic transglycosylase action on the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria). The syntheses were accomplished in 15 linear steps. Compound 1 is shown to be a substrate of the AmpD enzyme of the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, anenzyme that removes the peptide from the disaccharide scaffold in the e arly cytoplasmic phase of cell wall turnover.

Chain-extension of L-glutamate aldehyde 3 by means of the Wittig-Horner reaction furnished the desired C7 dicarboxylic acid derivative, which in turn, after C-C double bond hydrogenation and protecting group manipulation, afforded the 2,6-diaminopimelic acid derivatives (S,R)-9 and (S,S)-9, both with the desired orthogonal protecting group pattern. Synthesis of the muramic acid derivative 15 and attachment of an L-alanine residue furnished muramyl-L-alanine 18. The corresponding 1,6-anhydromuramic acid derivative 26 was obtained similarly. Treatment of these compounds with peptides 28-30 and with the 2,6-diaminopimelic acid containing di- and tripeptides 32a, 32b, and 35 gave the protected muramyl peptides 17, 37, 40, 42, 44, 46, and 49a and 49b, which, after deprotection, afforded the desired target molecules muramyl-L-alanine (38), muramyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamic acid (39), muramyl-L-alanyl-D-glutaminide (41), muramyl-L-alanyl-D- isoglutaminyl-L-lysine (43), muramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl-(2S,6R)-2,6-diaminopimelic acid (45), muramyl-L-alanyl- L-isoglutaminyl-(2S,6R)-2,6-diaminopimelic-D-alanme (47), 1,6-anhydromuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl-(2S,6R)-2,6-diaminopimelic acid (50a), and 1,6-anhydromuramyl-L-alanyl-D- isoglutaminyl-(2S,6S)-2,6-diaminiopimelic acid (50b).
