The First Dimeric Derivatives of the Glycopeptide Antibiotic Teicoplanin

Various dimeric derivatives of the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin were prepared with the aim of increasing the activity of the parent compound against glycopeptide-resistant bacteria, primarily vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Starting from teicoplanin, four covalent dimers were prepared in tw...

description Various dimeric derivatives of the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin were prepared with the aim of increasing the activity of the parent compound against glycopeptide-resistant bacteria, primarily vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Starting from teicoplanin, four covalent dimers were prepared in two orientations, using an α,ω-bis-isothiocyanate linker. Formation of a dimeric cobalt coordination complex of an <i>N</i>-terminal L-histidyl derivative of teicoplanin pseudoaglycone has been detected and its antibacterial activity evaluated. The Co(III)-induced dimerization of the histidyl derivative was demonstrated by DOSY experiments. Both the covalent and the complex dimeric derivatives showed high activity against VanA teicoplanin-resistant enterococci, but their activity against other tested bacterial strains did not exceed that of the monomeric compounds.
