title: Alpha-substituted hydroxamic acids as novel bacterial deformylase inhibitor-based antibacterial agents.
abstract: We report the synthesis and biological activity of analogues of VRC3375 (N-hydroxy-3-R-butyl-3-[(2-S-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-pyrrolidin-1-ylcarbonyl]propionamide), an orally active peptide deformylase inhibitor. This study explores the structure-activity relationship of various chelator groups, alpha substituents, P(2)' and P(3)' substituents in order to achieve optimal antibacterial activity with minimal toxicity liability.
