Abstract
Moiramide B is a peptide-polyketide hybrid with a bacterial origin and interesting antibiotic activity. Besides its structurally conserved peptide part, it contains a highly variable fatty acid side chain. We modified this part of the molecule by introducing a terminal alkyne, and we then subjected it to click reactions and Sonogashira couplings. This provided a library of moiramide B derivatives with high and selective in vivo activities against S. aureus.
