Vancomycin synthesis

Currently, it is the Evan s group, however, who can claim to have produced the most advanced compound in a vancomycin synthesis. They us an oxidative coupling to produce the C-O-D ring in compound 12, [18] and a SNAr cyclization to produce the complete AB-C-O-D-O-E system 13. [19] The latter transformation favors the atropisomer corresponding to the vancomycin D-O-E atropisomer by a 7 1 factor, in a reaction that was surprisingly efficient (90 % yield of combined cyclization products).

Zhn and coworkers have developed SwAr-based macrocyclizadon via biaryl ether formation. The first example of SivAr-based macrocyclizadon for synthesis of model carboxylate-binding pocket C-O-D rings of vancomycin was reported in 1994 fScheme 9.3. ...

Vancomycin (Vancocin) acts against susceptible gram-positive bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and increasing cell wall permeability. This drug is used in the treatment of serious gram-positive infections that do not respond to treatment with other anti-infectives. It also may be used in treating anti-infective-associated pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridium difficile. 

Vancomycin is bactericidal to most susceptible bacteria at concentrations near its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and is an inhibitor of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis, although at a site different from that of j3-lactam antibiotics (Chapter 9).

The answer is c. (Hardman, pp 1143-1144.) Bacitracin, cycloserine, cephalothin, and vancomycin inhibit cell-wall synthesis and produce bacteria that are susceptible to environmental conditions. Polymyxins disrupt the structural integrity of the cytoplasmic membranes by acting as cationic detergents. On contact with the drug, the permeability of the membrane changes. Polymyxin is often applied in a mixture with bacitracin and/or neomycin for synergistic effects. 

Vancomycin was the first macrocyclic antibiotic evaluated as selector for the synthesis of HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) [7], along with rifamycin B (among ansamycins) and thiostrepton (among polypeptides). 

Vancomycin was derivatized with 3,5-dimethylphenylisocyanate (DMP) and evaluated as selector for the synthesis of a CSP for HPLC [7]. The DMP-vancomycin bonded phase [47] was able to resolve several compounds that the vancomycin CSP could not, in particular hydroxyzine and althiazide, under NP conditions. 

Scheme 3.2 Solid-phase semi synthesis of Vancomycin (48) based on a new selenium linker [123, 124].

Recently, the semi-synthesis of Vancomycin (48) on solid supports was accomplished using an allylic linker (Scheme 3.2) [123, 124]. Polymer-bound chiral electrophilic selenium reagents have been developed and applied to stereoselective se-lenylation reactions of various alkenes (Tab. 3.9) [125]. 

Some research groups have derivatized biological active and very important natural products (Scheme 3.30) like Indolactam V (207) [297], Sarcodictyin (208) [298] Taxol (209) [299] and Vancomycin (210) [123]. For example, the soHd-phase synthesis of Indolactam derivatives (213) with three points of diversity has been reported by Waldmann et al. in 1999 (Scheme 3.31) [297]. 

Linezohd (Zyvox) is an oxazolidinone, a tive-membered heterocychc ring that forms the core of the hnezohd structure. The approval of hnezohd by the FDA in 2000 marked the first new structural class of antibacterial introduced into medical practice in the United States in 40 years. It is notable for its activity against methicillin-resistant Staph aureus, MRSA, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, VRE. It is bacteriostatic rather than bactericidal but finds significant use in patients with an intact immune system. Like several other classes of antibacterials, linezolid is an inhibitor of protein synthesis. It interacts specifically with the RNA component of a bacterial ribosome subunit to prevent initiation of protein synthesis.

Other inhibitors of cell wall synthesis. Bacitracin and vancomycin interfere with the transport of pepti-doglycans through the cytoplasmic membrane and are active only against gram-positive bacteria. Bacitracin is a polypeptide mixture, markedly nephrotoxic and used only topically. Vancomycin is a glycopeptide and the drug of choice for the (oral) treatment of bowel inflammations occurring as a complication of antibiotic therapy (pseudomembranous enterocolitis caused by Clostridium difficile), it is not absorbed.
