The search for potential inhibitors that target so far unexplored bacterial enzyme mono-N-succinyl-L,L-diaminopimelic acid desuccinylase (DapE) has stimulated a development of methodology for quick and efficient preparation of mono-N-acylated 2,6-diaminopimelic acid (DAP) derivatives bearing the different carboxyl groups or lipophilic moieties on their amino group.

A series of N (alpha)-acyl (alkyl)- and N (alpha)-alkoxycarbonyl-derivatives of L- and D-ornithine were prepared, characterized, and analyzed for their potency toward the bacterial enzyme N (alpha)-acetyl-L-ornithine deacetylase (ArgE). ArgE catalyzes the conversion of N (alpha)-acetyl-L-ornithine to L-ornithine in the fifth step of the biosynthetic pathway for arginine, a necessary step for bacterial growth. Most of the compounds tested provided IC(50) values in the muM range toward ArgE, indicating that they are moderately strong inhibitors. N (alpha)-chloroacetyl-L-ornithine (1g) was the best inhibitor tested toward ArgE providing an IC(50) value of 85 microM while N (alpha)-trifluoroacetyl-L-ornithine (1f), N (alpha)-ethoxycarbonyl-L-ornithine (2b), and N (alpha)-acetyl-D-ornithine (1a) weakly inhibited ArgE activity providing IC(50) values between 200 and 410 microM. Weak inhibitory potency toward Bacillus subtilis-168 for N (alpha)-acetyl-D-ornithine (1a) and N (alpha)-fluoro- (1f), N (alpha)-chloro- (1g), N (alpha)-dichloro- (1h), and N (alpha)-trichloroacetyl-ornithine (1i) was also observed. These data correlate well with the IC(50) values determined for ArgE, suggesting that these compounds might be capable of getting across the cell membrane and that ArgE is likely the bacterial enzymatic target.
