title: Dechloro teicoplanin antibiotics.
abstract: Mono- and didechlorinated derivatives of the antibiotic teicoplanin, its pseudoaglycones and aglycone, and of one amide and ester of deglucoteicoplanin were prepared under selective reductive conditions. The selectivity and rate of dehalogenation were studied and compared to those of vancomycin and deglucovancomycin. The influence of the chlorine substituents on the mechanism of action and antibacterial activity of teicoplanin antibiotics was also investigated.
