Thiol-ene Enabled Chemical Synthesis of Truncated S-Lipidated Teixobactin Analogs

Herein is described the introduction of lipid moieties onto a simplified teixobactin pharmacophore using a modified Cysteine Lipidation on a Peptide or Amino acid (CLipPA) technique, whereby cysteine was substituted for 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA). A truncated teixobactin analog was prepared wi...

Description
Summary:Herein is described the introduction of lipid moieties onto a simplified teixobactin pharmacophore using a modified Cysteine Lipidation on a Peptide or Amino acid (CLipPA) technique, whereby cysteine was substituted for 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA). A truncated teixobactin analog was prepared with the requisite thiol handle, thus enabling an array of vinyl esters to be conveniently conjugated onto the simplified teixobactin pharmacophore to yield S-lipidated cyclic lipopeptides.
