Mimicking Sialic Acid: Design and Synthesis of Bacterial Uptake Blockers
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health concern, driven by the overuse of antibiotics and a lack of new drug development. To address this challenge, alternative antibacterial targets involved in essential bacterial functions are being explored. In this study, three compounds were synthesized using N-acetylglucosamine as the starting material. One of these compounds serves as a ke
