  • Peptide Antibiotics and Methods For Making Same
    Publication number: 20080207874
    Abstract: Novel protected cyclopeptide intermediates are prepared from polymyxin B are used to synthesize new peptide antibiotics. Intermediates are readily derivatized and deprotected to provide new families of antibiotics, which have potent anti-bacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria; but also are useful and potent against gram-positive bacteria.
