Thesis
Semi-synthesis and biological evaluations of tunicamycin lipid analogues and investigation of the tunicamycin biosynthetic pathway
- Abstract:
-
Tunicamycins are potent antimicrobial agents but are also toxic to mammalian cells, which render them clinically impractical to use to treat infectious diseases. Instead, they have been used extensively as biochemical tools to study the N-linked glycosylation of proteins. However, despite such a routine application, their inhibitory mechanisms are still not clear. The central objective of this thesis was to develop novel tunicamycin analogues that are non-toxic to eukaryotic cells...
