Abstract:
Although vancomycin has been in clinical use since the late 1950s, resistance due to alteration in the target microbe's peptidoglycan can vary significantly, reducing its activity. Total synthesis of derivatives has now led to a molecule with very significant activity against resistant strains.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
