Structural modifications through bioisosteric approach yielded fusidic acid analogues with 2–35 folds increase in antiplasmodial activity as compared to fusidic acid.
通过生物等构替方法进行的结构修饰产生了富司酸类似物,其抗疟活性比富司酸提高了2-35倍。
Structure-activity relationship analyses of fusidic acid derivatives highlight crucial role of the C-21 carboxylic acid moiety to its anti-mycobacterial activity
Fusidic acid (FA) is a potent congener of the fusidane triterpenoid class of antibiotics. Structure-activityrelationship (SAR) studies suggest the chemical structure of FA is optimal for its antibacterial activity. SAR studies from our group within the context of a drug repositioning approach in tuberculosis (TB) suggest that, as with its antibacterial activity, the C-21 carboxylic acid group is indispensable
