Abstract

The primary amino function of teicoplanin pseudoaglycon has been transformed into arylthioisoindole or benzoisoindole and glycosylthioisoindole derivatives, in a reaction with o-phthalaldehyde or naphtalene-2,3-dicarbaldehyde and various thiols. All of the obtained semisynthetic Antibiotics exhibited potent Antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria in the ng per ml concentration range. A few of them showed Antiviral activity, in particular against Influenza Virus.
