A Moenomycin-type Structural Analogue of Lipid II some possible mechanisms of the mode of action of transglycosylase inhibitors can be discarded
摘要:
The transglycosylation step in the peptidoglycan biosynthesis belongs to the general class of glycosyltransferase-catalyzed reactions. The structural analogue 2 of moenomycin A has been synthesized and has been found to be antibiotically inactive. The assumption that moenomycin-type transglycosylase inhibitors such as 1 bind at the donor site of the enzyme and that their mode of action is the result of the high stability of the sugar --> phosphate bond seems to be ruled out by the present results.
