title: Chemistry and structure-activity relationship of antibacterial nucleoside natural products.
abstract: Synthetic methodology of the caprazamycins, which are promising antibacterial nucleoside natural products, was developed. Palmitoylcaprazol, which possesses a simple fatty acyl side chain at the diazepanone moiety of caprazamycins, has been synthesized and exhibited antibacterial activity against pathogens threatening a public health. Simplification of the caprazamycins was further pursued to develop diketopiperazine analogs.
