The alicyclic amino acids, DL-3-cyclopentene-l-alanine, DL-2-cyclopentene-l-alanine, DL-2-cyclohexene-lalanine, and DL-l-cycloheptene-l-alanine were synthesized, and their effects upon thegrowth of several micro-organisms were determined. DL-3-Cyclopentene-l-alanine inhibits the growth of three Escherichia coli strains and the lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum 8014; the growth inhibition of E. coli 10856is reversed in a competitivelike manner by leucine only in the presence of a small supplement of methionine in a manner suggest-ing that the analog inhibits utilization of leucine and the biosynthesis of methionine. DL-2-Cyclohexene-lalanine and DL-2-cyclopentene-l-alamne inhibit the growth of Leuconostoc dextranicum 8086, and the toxicities of both analogs were reversed in a competitivelike manner over a 10-20-fold range by increasing concentrations of leucine. DL-l-Cycloheptene-l-alanine prevented the growth of Leuconostoc dextranicum 8086 only at very high levels; no reversal of toxicity could be demonstrated with phenylalanine.Several alicylic amino acids have been reported to have rather specific antimetabolite activity, and the structural relationships between the natural metabolites and the active analogs have demonstrated the importance of steric factors in the biological activity of these compounds. For example, 1-cyclopentene-lalanine and l-cyclohexene-l-alanine have been found to be competitive antagonists of phenylalanine in con-trast to the corresponding saturatedderivatives, cyclopentanealanine and cyclohexanealanine, the first of which has slight activity only as a leucine antagonist and the second of which has no demonstrable anti-metabolite activity in the microorganisms studied.
