M. Hesslerklintz et al., THE 1ST MOENOMYCIN ANTIBIOTIC WITHOUT THE METHYL-BRANCHED URONIC-ACIDCONSTITUENT - UNEXPECTED STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONS, Tetrahedron, 49(35), 1993, pp. 7667-7678
Isolation and structure elucidation of a new moenomycin antibiotic (C1
, 1e) that lacks the branching methyl group in the 4-position of unit
F are reported. The smallest antibiotically active degradation product
of le is the trisaccharide derivative 3. This observation is in contr
ast to structure activity relations in the moenomycin A series where i
t was found that disaccharide 4a is fully active.
