Zusammenfassung: | The current global issue of antibiotic resistance is serious, and there is an urgent requirement of developing novel antibiotics. Octapeptins have recently regained interest because of their activities against resistant Gram-negative bacteria. We synthesized four natural octapeptins and 33 derivatives with diverse polarity, amphiphilicity, and acid–base properties by solid-phase synthesis and investigated their in vitro antibacterial activity and renal cytotoxicity. We also assessed the structure–activity relationship and structure–toxicity relationship of the cyclic lipopeptide compounds. Some compounds showed increased activity against Gram-negative and/or Gram-positive bacteria, with improved renal cytotoxicity. C-02 showed remarkable in vitro antibacterial activity and low renal cytotoxicity. We found that C-02 showed high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli in vivo and manifested its effects preliminarily by increasing outer membrane permeability. Therefore, C-02 might be a new antibiotic lead compound with not only high efficacy but also low renal cytotoxicity. |
