Synthesis and evaluation of glucosamine-6-phosphate analogues as activators of glmS riboswitch
摘要:
The glmS riboswitch is a ribozyme found in numerous Gram-positive bacteria and responds to the cellular concentrations of glucosamine 6-phosphate (GlcN6P). Given the importance of GlcN6P for cell wall biosynthesis, the glmS riboswitch has become a new drug target for the development of antibiotics. Herein, we describe the efficient synthesis of three GlcN6P analogues and their evaluation on inducing self-cleavage of the glmS riboswitch from Bacillus subtilis. Our results provide valuable information for further elucidation of the structure activity relationships and drug design for glmS riboswitch antibiotics. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
