Abstract:
The aminocyclitol antibiotic neamine has been modified by changing the configuration of one or two hydroxyl groups of the aminocyclitol moiety to elucidate the relationship between configuration and antimicrobial activity. 5-Epi-, 6-epi-, and 5,6-diepineamine have been prepared and their antimicrobial activity has been determined against several micro-organisms.
