Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Jan 1;21(1):276-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.11.022. Epub 2010 Nov 10.

Abstract

SAR studies and optimization of various modified Hygromycin A fluoroalkyl ethers, which led to the discovery of the highly potent 4'-(2-cyclopropyl-2-fluoroethyl ether) antibacterial CE-156811 (1) derived from truncation of the ribose ring and difluorination of the phenyl found in Hygromycin A, are discussed.
