title: Synthesis of platensimycin analogues and their antibiotic potency.
abstract: Platensimycin is a natural product isolated from various strains of Streptomyces platensis which exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram positive bacteria, including vancomycin- and linezolide-resistant species. Analogues of platensimycin were synthesized from 3-aminobenzoic acid or other aniline derivatives and several alkyl- and aryl-carboxylic acids. The resulting compounds were tested in an agar diffusion assay against several bacteria and fungi.
