Abstract
A library of 175 dipeptidomimetics and tripeptidomimetics containing an α-amino boronic acid or boronate has been synthesized, and the activity toward Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been screened. Although there is no clear structure-activity relationship, several compounds exhibit promising activity against different pathogens.
Keywords:
Matteson homologation; antimicrobials; α-amino boronate; α-amino boronic acid.
