Amino acids U 0400Novel Antifungal β-Amino Acids: Synthesis and Activity Against Candida albicans. -A variety of novel β-amino acids are synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Compound (VIII) appears to be equipotent to cispentacin and exhibits the most favorable activity-tolerability profile among all β-amino acids synthesized so far. Key step in the synthesis of (VIII) is a highly enantioselective, quinine-mediated alcoholysis of the meso-anhydride (V). -(MITTENDORF*, J.; KUNISCH, F.; MATZKE, M.; MILITZER, H.-C.; SCHMIDT, A.; SCHOENFELD, W.; Bioorg.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
