Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Novel Derivatives of Natural Product
Abstract
The increase in the emergence of antibiotic resistance has reduced the number of effective antibacterial drug pipelines. The synthesis of novel therapeutics is crucial to prevent the 10 million deaths projected by 2050 from antibacterial resistance. Our research focuses on synthesizing novel scaffolds from natural products. These scaffolds are used to generate a library of active antibacterial agents.
