While several microorganisms readily degrade 2- and 4-fluorobenzoates, only a very small number appear to catabolise the 3-fluoro isomer, owing to the accumulation of toxic intermediates. Here we describe the isolation of a bacterium capable of using 3-fluorobenzoate as a

The interactions of competitive inhibitors, o-, m-, and p-fluorobenzoates, with porcine kidney D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) were studied by 19F-NMR spectroscopy. The 19F-signals of DAO-bound fluorobenzoates were observed as considerably broadened peaks. The chemical shifts, which are referenced to 20

The synthesis of six novel fluorinated potential prodrugs for antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy is described. The [2- and 3-fluoro-4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid (9 and 21), their bis(mesyloxy)ethyl derivatives (7 and 19), and their chloroethyl (mesyloxy)-ethyl derivatives (8 and 20) are bifunctional alkylating

Transformations of 2-hydroxybenzoate and fluorobenzoate isomers were investigated in the strictly anaerobic Syntrophus aciditrophicus to gain insight into the initial steps of the metabolism of aromatic acids. 2-Hydroxybenzoate was metabolized to methane and acetate by S. aciditrophicus and Methanospirillum hungatei
