Sordarin oxazepine derivatives as potent antifungal agents

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Oct 7;12(19):2757-60. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00529-2.

Abstract

The synthesis and biological activity of sordarin oxazepine derivatives are described. The key step features a regioselective oxidation of an unprotected triol followed by double reductive amination to afford the ring-closed products. The spectrum of antifungal activity for these novel derivatives includes coverage of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Cryptococcus neoformans.
