Chemical Synthesis Enables Biochemical and Antibacterial Evaluation of Streptolydigin Antibiotics
29 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of bacterial transcription represents an effective and clinically validated anti-infective chemotherapeutic strategy. We describe the evolution of our approach to the streptolydigin class of antibiotics that target bacterial RNA polymerases (RNAPs). This effort resulted in the synthesis and biological evaluation of streptolydigin, streptolydiginone, streptolic acid, and a series of new...
