Synthesis of isoindole and benzoisoindole derivatives of teicoplanin pseudoaglycon with remarkable antibacterial and antiviral activities

摘要

The primary amino function of teicoplanin pseudoaglycon has been transformed into arylthioisoindole or benzoisoindole and glycosylthioisoindole derivatives, in a reaction with o-phthalaldehyde or naphtalene-2,3- dicarbaldehyde and various thiols. All of the obtained semisynthetic antibiotics exhibited potent antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria in the ng per ml concentration range. A few of them showed antiviral activity, in particular against influenza virus.
