Abstract
The search for potential inhibitors that target so far unexplored bacterial enzyme mono-N-succinyl-L,Ldiaminopimelic 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.
Keywords: Bacterial enzyme, N-succinyl-L, L-diaminopimelic acid (SDAP), synthesis of SDAP analogues, selective protection
