Synthesis and antibacterial in vitro activity of novel analogues of nematophin.
The synthesis and in vitro antibacterial activity of new derivatives and analogues of nematophin are described. It was shown that the unsubstituted amide NH-group is essential for bioactivity. Alkyl- or arylsubstitution at the 1-position results in a distinct increase of antibacterial activity. Addition of protein (blood or serum) to the culture media reduces the inhibitory activity on bacteria.
