Abstract
(Chemical Presented) An indispensable OH group: The synthesis of 35-deoxy amphotericin B methyl ester was completed by using a novel method for the coupling of the mycosamine to the aglycone. The investigation of the antifungal activity and efflux-inducing ability of this compound provided data that underscore the relevance of the hydroxy group at C35 and supports the involvement of double-barrel ion channels.
