The final version of our work is now online in JACS!
Scalable total synthesis of nonthmicin and ecteinamycin revealed a dual antibacterial and antitoxin profile against Clostridioides difficile.
Many thanks to all our collaborators! pubs.acs.org/jacsat/article/…
Our latest work shows how modern total synthesis can enable therapeutically meaningful discovery, uncovering selective anti-C. difficile activity and toxin-protective effects of structurally complex polyether ionophores. Now available on ChemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.264…

Establishing the Comprehensive Structure-Activity Relationship of the Natural Antibiotic Kibdelomycin/Amycolamicin (Chao Li and co-workers) @LabChaoonlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
We're excited to have achieved a structure-activity relationship analysis of the complex natural antibiotics Kibdelomycin/Amycolamicin through total synthesis. We hope this work will contribute to the development of new antibiotic therapies. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Today we report in @ChemRxiv a scalable solution to the total synthesis (and structural reassignment) of the Portimines (bit.ly/3iJ61DT). In collaboration with @_chrisgparker_ and Luke Lairson the remarkable biological activity of this natural product family was revealed
Excited to share our latest paper on the total synthesis of Illicium sesquiterpenes. Not only access more targets but synthetically connect distinct molecular architectures of different subfamilies through late-stage skeletal reorganization triggered by Lewis acids or oxidants.
