Abstract

The objectives of this proposed research programme are to: (a) Develop methodology to synthesize small molecules on a solid-support using asymmetric synthesis; (b) Synthesize a library of small molecules using diversity-oriented, split-pool synthesis; (c) Identify lead compounds by screening small molecules for their inhibition of bacterial growth with a range of bacteria; and (d) Identify the bacterial targets of the lead compounds and pursue the mechanisms of action of novel targets in molecular detail.
