Abstract

Several new rifamycin derivatives have been synthesized and tested as inhibitors of an RNA-instructed DNA polymerase (RDP) function in an effort to determine the effect of rifamycin structure on RDP inhibition. It was found, in general, that RDP inhibition is favored by lipophilic tails bound to the 3 positions of rifamycin SV. Relative lipophilicities were measured by a reversed phase thin-layer chromatographic technique.
