Useful synthesis of Fragment A-C-D of a thiostrepton-type macrocyclic antibiotic, thiocilline I
Useful synthesis of the main Fragment A-C-D segment constructing a thiostrepton-type macrocyclic antibiotic, thiocilline I, was first achieved by coupling of the 2,3,6-polythiazolesubstituted pyridine skeleton (Fragment A-C) with Fragment D.
