Scientists use relay synthesis to create key building blocks of reserve antibiotic to combat resistance
Chemists from Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have achieved an important research success in the fight against resistant bacteria.
Chemists from Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have achieved an important research success in the fight against resistant bacteria.
The short version
- The team led by scientist Professor Dr.
- Dieter Schinzer from the Institute of Chemistry has succeeded in producing key building blocks of the naturally occurring substance Neosorangicin A in the laboratory for the first time.
- This means it is now possible to develop Neosorangicin A in a targeted manner as a promising reserve antibiotic candidate to combat antibiotic resistance in the future.
