The natural production of the β-lactam antibiotic carbapenem in bacteria involves a group of enzymes that form a synthetic pathway as well as proteins that protect the cell from self-intoxification by the products. Here, the crystal structure of CarF, one of the two proteins that confer resistance to synthesis of the antibiotic in the host organism, is reported. The CarF fold places it within a widely occurring structural family, indicating an ancient structural origin from which the resistance function has been derived.

The crystal structure and the conformation of the title compound, C22H27N3O7S, were determined from the synthetic pathway and by X-ray analysis. This compound is a new 4-thiazolidinone derivative prepared and isolated as pure product from thiosemicarbazone carvone. The molecule is built up from an oxothiazolidine ring tetrasubstituted by a methoxy–oxoethylidene, a maleate, an oxygen and a cyclohexylidene–hydrazone. The cyclohexylidene ring is statistically disordered over two positions, resulting in an inversion of configuration for the substituted carbon.

The literature compound 3β-hydroxy-bisnor-5-cholenic aldehyde is an important intermediate for the synthesis of new modulators of the nuclear oxysterol receptor LiverX. As part of our ongoing search for new LXR antagonists, the title compound, C24H39NO3, has proven to be an important intermediate in our new synthetic pathway, giving the corresponding aldehyde in high yield and in only three steps from the commercially available 3β-hydroxy-bisnor-5-cholenic acid. The title amide crystallized with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, linked into helices by O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxy and carbonyl groups.
