  • Publication number: 20090131304
    Abstract: Semi-synthetic glycopeptides that have antibacterial activity are based on modifications of the desmethyl-vancomycin scaffold, in particular, acylation of the amino substituent on the amino-substituted sugar moiety on this scaffold with certain acyl groups; and/or conversion of the acid moiety on the macrocyclic ring of this scaffolds to certain substituted amides. In addition, compounds of the invention include desmethyl-vancomycin scaffolds on which the acid moiety on the macrocyclic ring is converted to certain substituted amides and the amino substituent on the amino-substituted sugar moiety is alkylated with certain alkyl groups.
