There is a growing need to identify new, broad-spectrum antibiotics. The natural productspergualin was previously shown to have promising anti-bacterial activity and a privileged structure, but its challenging synthesis had limited further exploration. For example, syntheses of spergualin and its analogs have been reported in approximately 10 linear steps, with overall yields between 0.3 and 18%. Using
越来越需要鉴定新的广谱抗生素。先前已证明天然产物pergualin具有令人鼓舞的抗菌活性和特权结构,但其具有挑战性的合成方法限制了其进一步的开发。例如,已经报道了大约10个线性步骤中精子精及其类似物的合成,总收率在0.3%至18%之间。使用Ugi多组分反应,我们只需一步即可组装受精子激发的分子,从而显着提高了总收率(20%至96%)。使用这种策略,我们生成了43种新的类似物,并测试了它们对两种革兰氏阴性和四种革兰氏阳性菌株的抗菌活性。我们发现最有效的类似物化合物6的MIC值为4至32μgmL -1对抗这六种菌株,这对精子蛋白(MIC〜6.25至50μgmL -1)有显着改善。这些研究为使用新型化学支架制备广谱抗生素提供了一条简洁的途径。
