Abstract
Although an inhibitor of the bacterial lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, the title compound 2-deoxy-β-KDO (1) cannot pass through the bacterial membrane. The coupling of the carboxy function with peptidic carriers creates conjugates (prodrugs) like 2, which can be actively transported into the cell. Their stability in vivo can be modulated by modifying the potential cleavage sites.
