Synthetic derivatives of the natural product antibiotic novobiocin were synthesized in order to improve their physiochemical properties. A Mannich reaction was used to introduce new side chains at a solvent-exposed position of the molecule, and a diverse panel of functional groups was evaluated at this position. Novobiocin and the new derivatives were tested for their binding to gyrase B and their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Francisella tul ...[more]
