Abstract
Design and synthesis of library of compounds around the antibiotic natural product hunanamycin A scaffold and their biological evaluation are disclosed here. These efforts resulted in identification of a lead compound 36, which is a structurally simplified analogue of original hunanamycin A with impressive activity against Salmonella enterica and possesses other druggable properties. In addition, no acute oral toxicity was observed for compound 36 in Swiss albino mice dosed up to 2 g/kg. It has the potential to be developed for the treatment of food infections caused by Salmonella.
