title: Synthesis of Berberine-Efflux Pump Inhibitor Hybrid Antibacterials.
abstract: This paper reports the compact synthesis of two isomeric dual-action hybrid antimicrobials where the 13-position of the antibacterial berberine has been linked via 3'- and 4'-methylene bridges to INF55 (5-nitro-2-phenylindole), an inhibitor of the bacterial NorA multidrug-resistance pump.
