title: Novel peptidomimetics of the antifungal cyclic peptide Rhodopeptin: synthesis of mimetics and their antifungal activity.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. Novel peptidomimetics of the antifungal cyclic peptide Rhodopeptin were synthesized. As with the cyclic peptides, the presence of all three Rhodopeptin side chains was found to be indispensable for peptidomimetic activity. We discovered new compounds exhibiting greater antifungal activity and improved physiochemical properties in comparison to the parent compounds.
