Monoclonal antibody (MAb) F123, raised against a macrocyclic phosphonate transition-state analogue, catalyzed an intramolecular transesterification of the corresponding hydroxy ester to give a 14-membered ring lactone. The MAb reaction displayed enzyme-like Michaelis–Menten kinetics with a Km of 255 µM and a kcat of 0.01 min–1 based on p-nitrophenol release and calculated on an active-site basis. Substrate specificity and competitive inhibition by a transition state analogue (Ki = 3 µM) demonstrated that the catalytic activity was associated with binding in the antibody-combining site. The lactone product was isolated from a large-scale catalytic experiment through ether extraction and identified by gas chromatography – mass spectroscopy.Key words: macrocyclization, lactones, catalytic antibodies.

The synthesis of N-glycosyl phosphonamidates has been accomplished via the coupling of peracetylated glycosylamines with an appropriate phosphonochloridate in the presence of pyridine. The resulting glycosyl phosphonamidate esters are dealkylated with bromotrimethylsilane and then deacetylated to give the target compounds, which are potential transition-state analogue inhibitors of glycopeptidases and may prove useful as haptens for generating catalytic antibodies with glycopeptidase activity.Key words: enzyme inhibition, PNGase, phosphonamidate, amide hydrolysis.
