Abstract

A ring-closing metathesis (RCM) - peptide coupling - ruthenium-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (RuAAC) strategy was developed to synthesize a tricyclic hexapeptide in which the side chain to side chain connectivity pattern resulted in a mimic with a topology that effectively mimics the bioactivity of vancomycin as a potent binder of the bacterial cell wall D-Ala-D-Ala dipeptide sequence and more importantly being an effective in-hibitor of bacterial growth.
