  • Publication number: 20040028702
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to the combinatorial synthesis of antibacterial agents that inhibit the Mur-pathway enzymes involved in bacterial cell wall assembly. The method uses p-alkoxybenzylidene as the linker for the attachment of a derivatized muramic acid to the polymeric resin support. This intermediate becomes the starting point for the combinatorial synthesis, which in conjunction with split-pooling techniques allows rapid synthesis of diverse analogues for high-throughput screening (HTS). The invention is further directed to the libraries of these finished compounds that vary at the peptide, N-acyl and anomeric UDP positions.
