摘要
Histopine, an unusual amino acid derivative of histidine isolated from crown gall tumors of sunflowers (Helianthus annus) inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain B6, was previously assigned the gross structure N-(1-carboxyethyl) histidine (2). A diastereomeric mixture containing histopine (2a and 2b) was readily prepared by reductive alkylation of (S)-histidine (1) with pyruvic acid and sodium cyanoborohydride. The individual diastereomers were prepared by reaction of (S)-histidine with (R)- and (S)-2-bromopropionic acid. (R)-N-(1-Carboxyethyl)-(S)-histidine (2a) supports the growth of A. tumefaciens whereas (S)-N-(1-carboxyethyl)-(S)-histidine (2b) is inactive. Therefore, we assign structure 2a to histopine.
