title: Synthesis of an unusual branched-chain sugar, 5-C-methyl-L-idopyranose for SAR studies of pyranmycins: implication for the future design of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
abstract: The syntheses of a challenging branched-chain sugar and several L-sugars have been accomplished. Their application in studies of the antibacterial activity of pyranmycins is reported, which could provide new strategies for the future design of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
