Thiostrepton is a potent archetypal thiopeptide antibiotic. According to its mechanism known to target bacterial ribosome, we show here a rational design upon modeling of this molecule into the ribosome complex and an effective biosynthesis of new thiopeptide antibiotics through regioselective modifications. The resulting derivatives exhibit a series of anticipated and unanticipated pharmaceutical advantages, including improvement in activity against a number of drug-resistant pathogens and in water solubility that has largely affected the clinical use of thiostrepton.
