Abstract
The synthesis and the biological properties of a series of N15-alkyl and N15,N15-dialkyl derivatives of teicoplanin A2, its pseudoaglycones and aglycone are described. The alkylation of the terminal amino group did not affect the ability of these teicoplanin derivatives to bind with Ac2-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala, a synthetic model of the antibiotic's target peptide in bacterial cell walls, but influenced their in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activities to a different extent, depending on the structure and length of the alkyl chains and the type and number of sugars present.
