Chemistry and structure-activity relationship of antibacterial nucleoside natural products

Nucleic Acids Symp Ser (Oxf). 2008:(52):77-8. doi: 10.1093/nass/nrn039.

Abstract

Synthetic methodology of the caprazamycins, which are promising antibacterial nucleoside natural products, was developed. Palmitoylcaprazol, which possesses a simple fatty acyl side chain at the diazepanone moiety of caprazamycins, has been synthesized and exhibited antibacterial activity against pathogens threatening a public health. Simplification of the caprazamycins was further pursued to develop diketopiperazine analogs.
