Descrição

8-Hydroxypenillic acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of penicillin. It is produced by the enzyme 8-hydroxylase, which converts L-lysine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine. This reaction requires a number of cofactors, including magnesium ions and oxygen. The product is then converted to 8-hydroxypenillic acid by the enzyme hydroxypenicillinase. Inhibition of this enzyme leads to accumulation of 8-hydroxypenillic acid, which can be used as a biomarker for production of penicillin.
