Abstract
Analogs of the antibiotic fosmidomycin, an inhibitor of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway to isoprenoids, were synthesized and evaluated against the recombinant Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR). Fosfoxacin, the phosphate analog of fosmidomycin, and its acetyl congener were found to be more potent inhibitors of DXR than fosmidomycin.
