The glycoslated macrocyclic antibiotic fidaxomicin (1, tiacumicin B, lipiarmycin A3) displays good to excellent activity against Gram-positive bacteria and was approved for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infections (CDI). Among the main limitations for this compound, its low water solubility impacts further clinical uses. We report on the synthesis of new fidaxomicin derivatives based on structural design and utilizing an operationally simple one-step protecting group-free preparative approach from the natural product. An increase in solubility of up to 25-fold with largely retained activity was observed. Furthermore, hybrid antibiotics were prepared that show improved antibiotic activities.

A series of tridecaptin-antibiotic conjugates were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro and in vivo activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Covalently linking unacylated tridecaptin A1 (H-TriA1) to rifampicin, vancomycin, and erythromycin enhanced their activity in vitro but not by the same magnitude as coadministration of the peptide and these antibiotics. The antimicrobial activities of the conjugates were retained in vivo, with the H-TriA1-erythromycin conjugate proving a more effective treatment of Klebseilla pneumoniae infections in mice than erythromycin alone or in combination with H-TriA1.
