The L- and D-isomers of azidoalanine (azide metabolite) have been chemically synthesized with 60% yield using corresponding N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-serine as starting materials. The mutagenic properties of synthesized L-azidoalanine are very similar to those of azide and in vivo synthesized azidoalanine. Synthetic D-azidoalanine shows very low mutagenic activity on Salmonella typhimurium TA1530 strain compared to that of the L-isomer. Thus a stereoselective process is involved in azidoalanine mutagenicity. The data presented in this study suggest that further biochemical activation is required for L-azidoalanine to produce its mutagenic activity.
