Abstract

This invention provides novel .beta.-lactam precursors of known and novel microbiologically active penicillins and cephalosporins and to a process for making the .beta.-lactam precursors from a L-cysteinylvaline dipeptide or a polypeptide containing the L-cysteine with other amino acids. The .beta.-lactam precursors are represented by the Formula I. ##STR1## wherein Z is ##STR2## and wherein R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are defined herein. When Z has the structure of Formula A, the .beta.-lactam is a precursor for cephalosporins. When Z has the structure of either Formula B or Formula C, the .beta.-lactam is a precursor for a penicillin.
