Abstract

A small molecule (1835F03) that inhibits Staphylococcus aureus wall teichoic acid biosynthesis, a proposed antibiotic target, has been discovered. Rapid, parallel, solution-phase synthesis was employed to generate a focused library of analogs, providing detailed information about structure–activity relationships and leading to the identification of targocil, a potent antibiotic.

Graphical abstractThe synthesis and biological evaluation of a focused library of wall teichoic acid biosynthesis inhibitors is reported.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
