Abstract:Newly developed antibiotics are supposed to treat infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. To increase the likelihood of overcoming resistance, antibiotic candidates should be based on structures that are unknown to bacteria. This is why boron-based antibiotics offer an interesting alternative to carbon-based drugs. This work is devoted to the development of a new group of antibiotics based on abiotic metallacarborane, cobalta bis(dicabrollide) (COSAN). We managed to identify the two most promising struct… Show more
