title: Vancomycin disulfide derivatives as antibacterial agents.
abstract: A series of lipidated vancomycin analogues 1 bearing disulfide bonds within their lipid chains was designed and synthesized to optimize their ADME profiles while retaining antibacterial potency. These compounds exhibited good activity against resistant organisms and low accumulation in tissues such as kidney and liver.
