Synthesis of Antimicrobial Natural Products Targeting FtsZ: (±)-Dichamanetin and (±)-2‘ ‘‘-Hydroxy-5‘ ‘-benzylisouvarinol-B
摘要:
[GRAPHIC]Two natural products have been synthesized using a ZnCl2-mediated benzylic coupling reaction. Both are potent inhibitors of the GTPase activity of FtsZ, a highly conserved protein that is essential for bacterial cytokinesis.
