(±)-Dinorpenicillin-2-spirocycloalkane

Abstract
(±)-Dinorpenicillin-2-spirocycloalkanes have been synthesized, and no change in inhibitory activity of Staphylococcus aureus transpeptidase has been observed; decrease in antibacterial activity occurring with larger spirocycles is interpreted in terms of unsuitable lipophilicity, impairing penetrability through the bacterial cell wall.
