Abstract:SummaryThe study of 16,17,18,19,28,29-hexahydrorifamycin S by 'H-NMR. spectroscopy using INDOR at 100 MHz and homodecoupling at 270 MHz has shown that the conformation of the ansa fragment C(2O)-C(27) and the position of this fragment relative to the naphthoquinone chromophore are practically the same as those of rifamycin S. This finding rules out the hypothesis that the lower activity of the hydrogenated rifamycins could be due to a different conformation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
