Abstract

A series of electrophilic glutamine analogues based on 6-diazo-5-oxo-norleucine has been prepared, using novel synthetic routes, and evaluated as inhibitors of Escherichia coli. glucosamine synthetase. The γ-dimethylsulphonium salt analogue of glutamine was found to be one of the most potent inactivators of this enzyme yet reported, with an apparent second order rate constant (k2/Ki) of 3.5× 105M− 1 min− 1.
