Synthesis of a C-phosphonate disaccharide as a potential inhibitor of peptidoglycan polymerization by transglycosylase
摘要:
A phosphonate disaccharide 4, having structural features of both peptidoglycan monomer 1 and the active portion 2 of moenomycin A, was synthesized as a potential antibiotic and inhibitor of transglycosylase, an enzyme responsible for formation of the polysaccharide backbone of bacterial peptidoglycan.
