Discovery of Novel Putative Inhibitors of UDP-GlcNAc 2-Epimerase as Potent Antibacterial Agents.

abstract：:Novel sources of antibiotics are required to keep pace with the inevitable onset of bacterial resistance. Continuing with our macrolide desmethylation strategy as a source of new antibiotics, we report the total synthesis, molecular modeling and biological evaluation of 4,10-didesmethyl telithromycin (4), a novel desm...
