Treatment of staphylococcal infections with cyclic lipopeptides [PDF]
Daptomycin is the first of a new class of antibiotics, the cyclic lipopeptides, for which a novel mechanism of action is hypothesised. Owing to its mode of action, daptomycin is rapidly bactericidal without being bacteriolytic, is active against static- and growing-phase bacteria, and has a low resistance rate in vitro.

New multicomponent strategies to cyclic lipopeptides [PDF]
Peptide functionalization and macrocyclization stands among the most challenging issues in peptide chemistry. While derivatization endows the peptide scaffold with some desired features, such as, reactive or biologically active moieties, cyclization is commonly used to anchor bioactive conformations as well as to study the structure-activity ...

Solid-Phase Synthesis of Biaryl Cyclic Lipopeptides Derived from Arylomycins
An efficient approach for the solid-phase synthesis of N-methylated tailed biaryl cyclic lipopeptides based on the structure of arylomycins was established. Each of these analogues incorporates an N-terminal linear lipopeptide attached to a biaryl cyclic
