Abstract
A novel and new type of tetracycline with a different mechanism of action was necessary, due to the drug resistance of existing tetracyclines. This study outlines the synthesis and antibacterial evaluation of anhydro-tetracycline derivatives, which are unconventional tetracyclines with unique mechanisms of action. These derivatives include C4-NH2, C4-OH, and C9-substituted variations, and our synthetic approach focuses on semi-synthesis using natural tetracyclines as the starting precursors. Several derivatives of C4-NH2, C4-OH, and C9-substituted compounds have demonstrated effective antibiotic activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
