L-2-Amino-2-carboxyethanesulfonamide has been prepared via L-2-acetylamino-2-carboethoxyethanesulfonyl chloride which is obtainable from the corresponding disulfide by the action of aqueous chlorine. The sulfonamide inhibits the action of serum asparaginase and depresses or abolishes growth of an asparagine-requiring mutant of Neurospora crassa. Fur-ther, it reduces growth of Eremothecium ashbyii. The compound was without effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro and in vivo, nor did it inhibit growth in vitro of several other pathogenic microorganisms.The growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and of certain fungi on synthetic media is markedly in-creased by asparagine, which is therefore a regular constituent of several media. 1 It is generally considered that asparagine serves as a particularly suitable source of nitrogen for the mycobacteria rather than as an essential metabolite. 2 On the supposition that this utilization of asparagine by tubercle bacilli might be susceptible to inhibition by an asparagine antimetabolite, the preparation of
