Common NameDeacetylcephalosporin C
DescriptionDeacetylcephalosporin C is a member of the cephem class of antibiotics, characterized by its β-lactam structure, which is crucial for its biological activity. This compound is synthesized through a series of enzymatic reactions, primarily involving deacetylcephalosporin C synthase (DACS), which catalyzes the conversion of deacetoxycephalosporin C (DAOC) into deacetylcephalosporin C by replacing a methyl group with a hydroxyl group. The biosynthetic pathway begins with the formation of the tripeptide L-delta-alpha-aminoadipyl-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) and proceeds through several steps, including the cyclization of ACV to isopenicillin N and the subsequent ring expansion to penicillin N. Additionally, deacetylcephalosporin C is a precursor in the production of other cephalosporins, and its synthesis can be influenced by various factors, such as the presence of spermidine, which has been shown to decrease the yield of cephalosporin C while increasing the accumulation of deacetylcephalosporin C (PMID:36498951 ). The enzyme DACS plays a pivotal role in this metabolic pathway, and engineered variants have been developed to enhance its catalytic efficiency (PMID:27084018 ).
