Teixobactin, targeting lipid II, represents a new class of antibiotics with novel structures and has excellent activity against Gram-positive pathogens. We developed a new convergent method to synthesize a series of teixobactin analogues and explored structure activity relationships. We obtained equipotent and simplified teixobactin analogues, replacing the L-allo-enduracididine with lysine, substituting oxygen to nitrogen on threonine, and adding a phenyl group on the D-phenylalanine. On the basis of the antibacterial activities that resulted from corresponding modifications of the D-phenylalanine, we propose a hydrophobic interaction between lipid II and the N-terminal of teixobactin analogues, which we map out with our analogue 35. Finally, a representative analogue from our series showed high efficiency in a mouse model of Streptococcus pneumoniae septicemia.
