Abstract:Incorporation of basic substituents into the structurally conserved domains of cell-wall lipopolysaccharides has been identified as a major mechanism contributing to antimicrobial resistance of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. Inhibition of the corresponding enzymatic steps, specifically the transfer of 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose would thus restore the activity of cationic antimicrobial peptides and several antimicrobial drugs. C-glycosidically linked phospholipid derivatives of 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose… Show more
